Pig butchering romance scam on Tinder. Matched with a pretty girl. Our conversation felt genuine. Even had a short video call. But things were feeling a bit too good to be true, but I went on to see where things were going.
Saw through the scam once she started offering helping with cryptocurrency investment, so I didn’t lose anything.
What does that have to do with pork products?
As the other person said. The metaphor is that you trick the person into making small investments first into a fake cryptocurrency app, and then over time make bigger and bigger investments. Like feeding a pig.
When the victim has made a large investment (the pig is well fed), cut all connection and run away with all the money (the butchering).
It’s a scam that targets emotionally vulnerable people and can go on for many weeks.
It's apparently a reference to fattening a pig before the slaughter. Basically, they trick you into feeding their crypto-pig before running off with all the pork.
