Canadians are losing millions of dollars to a devastating new cyber-scam known as “pig butchering.” It's a long-term con that combines romance scams, crypto fraud and investment schemes. CBC Marketplace talks to people who've lost their life savings and the trust of their loved ones as a result of this scam. And in a surprising twist, we reveal that many of the perpetrators are victims themselves, forced into a life of scamming.
If you think you or somebody you know may be a victim of a scam, report it to the Canadian Anti-Fraud Centre.

Thank you for being you! If I had your skills, I would so be there. *Briskdeft* I'm just a retired mechanic. What I do is advise & help people when I can. My business has a lot of sketchy folks that rip people off. I help people when I can (I've only got one good arm now) and tell people when shops are trying to take them for a ride. It ain't nothing like what you do, but it makes me feel good. Keep up the good work 💫💫💫

Pig butchering example: You receive a text message from a wrong number. You reply - wrong number. They reply back something innocent. You reply with a lol. Next thing you know you’re texting each other, becomes friendly. They want to be friends. They take it to the next level. Before you know it - you’ve been pig butchered! Never reply “wrong number”. Don’t let them know it’s an active number. It can even be a seemingly innocent message… Hey I can’t make my doctors appointment. You’re a nice person so you reply Wrong Number. Or they send a text message that says - what time is the meeting? You’re a nice person and you wanna make sure other plans don’t get messed up so you reply wrong number. Wrong thing to do. Don’t be that nice guy. PT Barnum said it best.

@akosua8779 3 месяца назад

That wrong number text is so annoying. One time the scammer was pushing it after I said wrong number. Talking about wanting to buy me a coffee because they are so grateful I replied wrong number so they know they weren't texting their friend. I just replied stop texting me. Never heard from them again

She made me think she liked me… She sent me lots of photos of her fancy purses… Short videos of her driving her Porsche, etc. etc. Then she started talking to me about crypto. She desperately tried to get me to open an account so that she could “teach me” about crypto investing. Luckily, I immediately knew this was a scam. I strung her along for a little while, and just kept telling herthat I did not need more money. I was very well off, and I was not at all interested in crypto. She got kind of angry and just stopped talking to her.😂

Have you tried reporting to the internet crime complaint center? If not, I can send all you need to do and have a chance of getting your money back

Announcing you're a scam victim on the internet is prob not the best thing to do. People need to stop oversharing online. You got scammed because you were greedy and you wanted more money because you're a slave to money. You are valuable without money.

Some of them send obvious wrong number messages. But sometimes they get emotional when you don't reply. I had one once inviting me to go golfing on a specific date. I didn't reply. Then I get an angry message on that specific date asking why I didn't show up. Nope.

Time and again women and men fall for people online or otherwise, with whom could not meet in person but offer romance through text messages and phone calls or even investment opportunities to get rich. The Euphoria of getting married to a rich/beautiful/handsome person or getting rich blind their vision to see the red flags and warning signs.

Some very very learned people fall for it - this can happen to anyone - the scammers can be very deceptive - they are trained to trick

These “victims of scam” are mostly motivated by greed and lust . They should be held accountable for the proliferation of scams due to their lack of due diligence and gross negligence

@happycook6737 3 месяца назад

To all the lonely people, if an online "boyfriend/girlfriend" has a problem and needs your help, has an idea for investment or getting rich, is from another county and needs you for legal residency---run away from the person! I am convinced based on all the scammers that responded to my personal ad, that online romance is almost always a scam.

Brilliant initiative, *VortexTrace* It's encouraging to see that you are actively opposing these dishonest individuals. It is imperative that the safeguarding of the general public and the elderly from these abhorrent con artists be a top priority. Excellent job, my companion! Because of your dedication to ensuring our safety, you merit the Nobel Peace Prize……..

@saymoremccalman4974 3 месяца назад

This same thing happened to me twice. The 1st lady just me was scammed into a thing called crypto yield farming. And the 2nd gentleman was scammed into a scam called crypto yield farming. It sounds good and legitimate in the beginning. But what learned was that nothing is free and if it sounds to good to be true, it more than likely is. I pray that our HEAVENLY FATHER PROTECTS ALL OF US. AMEN

People need to educate themselves on online scams. This should be priority when using the Internet. No matter how smart you think you are. If you're very trusting and gullible you will fall for a scam. It's best to learn what to watch for.

This happened to me. Using my 4 year old daughter as the bait. Pretending they cared about her. Thank goodness I followed my heart and intuition and didn’t lose that much. But this is a new kind of low life. Someone who has zero emotions towards a fellow human being and have convinced themselves that they’re not doing anything wrong. Because we give them money on our own free will. I pray for other victims of these heartless scammers.
