Inside a Pig Butchering Scam

Pig butchering scams are one of the most devastating scams around. They are a combination of a Romance Scam and an Investment Scam, usually involving crypto currency.
In this video, I worked with someone who infiltrated a pig butchering scam in Dubai, UAE. He was able to take undercover video and audio to help expose how the scam works.
So let's have a look deep inside one of these scams...

These scams typically involve a seller offering to sell a live pig to a buyer at a seemingly good price. However, once the transaction is made, the seller may provide a pig that is either dead, of much lower quality than promised, or not even a pig at all (such as a different animal disguised as a pig)."

I can see your point. What you have to keep in ming that some people are lonely. Some people ache for companionship. Then you find some beautiful person who has taken interest in you and actually cares (or appears to). What makes these scams extra disgusting to me is that element. While it is not everyone (who doesn't like easy money) a lot of people fall for it because they need that emotional connection. The money is just the icing on the cake. We have to educate and help everyone. This is really the only way to fight this thing.

After she had built up my trust, she said she could show me how to make some money, if I would buy digital currency. I was saved by my bank because they refused my transaction. I asked Winnie if we could continue our relationship if we didn't talk about digital currency and that was the last I heard from her.

I tried to look these photos up through reverse image search, got no results - i.e. they were not taken from other websites, and thus came to a conclusion that someone had actually involved models into shooting those, specifically for doing something on dating platforms.

[@mitchellnavea7242]

I was a victim of this type of scam in early 2020 and it is incredibly shocking to realize how well they work to get you to fall for their entire scheme. Back in time, when the scammer asked me to take out loans to withdraw my "profits", I decided to stop following their instructions and then they become very aggressive afterwards. As I was trying to understand what was happening, I came across a subreddit where people were sharing their stories and my heart broke as I realized that my loss was nothing compared to theirs. Some of them were involved for more than a year, some others lost tens of thousands of dollars. In the end, I'm glad that this process taught me a lot about how they do things and that I was able to help people who were engaging in such a degenerate scheme.

For the low level staff i would be more carefull with my judgement. Of course they know what they are doing, but it is easy to say its disgusting while you are not in the same position as they are. If you or I would be a immigrant worker and had to choose to work as a slave construction worker or a near slave scammer im sure alot of people would compormise their morals.

[@Jxcollin1]

As a scambaiting fan myself, I HAD this same opinion until I saw John Oliver's cover of these scams from a couple of weeks ago. At least some of them are scammed/human trafficked into doing it themselves, it's not always their choice. I'd recommend giving that video a watch too if you haven't seen it already. Have a great day!

[@einhalbesbrot]

I dont think thats true. A scammer in a poor country with a yearly avg. Income of lets say 50$ can scam a small percentage of for example a csgo inventory. If you steal 50$ but the victims have 3000$ in skins in my opinion the scammers are not automatically pure filth.

[@apbecker]

@@einhalbesbrotso basically, "I think those people deserve it, so the scammers are better"? good moral footing you've got there.

[@einhalbesbrot]

@@apbecker no i dont believe they deserve it. But it isn't a huge loss. I myself have been scammed out of 30€ and later after talking a bit more to the scammer i understood. He had the ability to take hundrets of my Euros but decided on 1 item. I have empathy for those misfortuned of us. It also thought me a valuable lesson about safety on the internet. All in all i'd say the 30€ for an exploit that coule have cost me thousands is a valuable lesson aswell

[@StargateMax]

I was a victim of a romance scam in 2020 from Tinder, the handwriting was very similar to this. And I lost a ton of money via "investing" even though I saw red flags, but "she" hypnotized me and knew what buttons to push. After that I have seen many more with the same handwriting, and I dodged all the subsequent bullets. I have no mercy for scammers, none whatsoever.

Hi Jim I'm a big fan of your videos and it's made me become more aware just how clever these scammers are. I've been having this scammer trying to call me all the time about "making my phone contract cheaper" I made sure its 100% a scam and I've blocked the number now. I'm just worried about other people getting scam and falling for it.

I almost got caught out by a scam on a dating site, turns out it was a group based in Paris who had a genuine in house model who coerces people into compromised actions on cam, records it, then blackmails them into transferring money. Thankfully I didn’t let it get to that point and got the police involved, but apparently others got severely screwed over.

Are they fools to be falling into such things. People need to be wise, those who want to get scammed will be scammed the smart one will pass it

[@ecargnz7762]

@@ryantseko4269 I can understand this perspective, because some scams feel like they're quite obvious. This isn't the case for everyone, however. Scammers use a bunch of psychological and persuasive tricks to fool people into lowering their guard. Often, they target those who might not be as good at tech as others. That being said, even people in the industry will fall for scams. It's important we keep an eye out for ourselves, and our friends + family. Remember to slow down, breathe, and think to yourself "what is being asked of me?" when you receive unexpected "urgent" comms. Source: I work in cyber awareness.

[@nik2rank01]

@@ryantseko4269 I believe the scammer alone is at fault. He/She instigated the event with obvious malicious intent, therefore, no further blame needs to be explored. Blaming the victim is always a difficult and contentious stance to take my friend.

[@Thk10188965]

@@ryantseko4269 If I was going to pass blame from the scammers, I wouldn't pass it down to the victims, but up to the environment producing scammers. As it seems clear (to me anyway) that environmental factors are a large contributor to making scammers, given how most scammers are in India, (which then means you should probably pass blame further up to the world for being the way it is) but who wants to do that, then that means we might be part of the problem, and that *feels* bad, so it couldn't be that. So instead since one can't do anything about the scammers, and being at fault can't be right, that only leaves down, to the victim, where you can feel confident that if *you* were them you wouldn't get scammed, so that must mean it is the victims fault for being stupid. Sigh.

Wow! Big thanks to this insider.. I am baffled at the scale of these scams going on.. I always imagined the scam messages i got came from some small office in India.

In this day and age, basically anyone contacting me through phone or text that i do not already know is certainly a scammer!
