Pig butchering is a long-game scam where criminals build trust (often via chat apps and social platforms), then steer victims into
sending funds to fake investment or trading platforms.
These cases often mix romance-style grooming with financial manipulation, and the scams may involve multiple wallets and exchanges.
“Wrong number”, social DM, or a friendly business contact.
Daily messaging, personal stories, screenshots of profits.
Pressure to deposit more, “taxes” or “verification fees” to withdraw.
Full message history, usernames, profile links, phone numbers.
Site URL, login email, screenshots, deposit/withdrawal pages.
Wallet addresses, tx hashes, exchange receipts, timestamps.
Browser history and emails related to deposits or KYC.
Do not pay additional “fees” to unlock withdrawals. Preserve evidence and document every deposit and communication.
If you used an exchange, gather account emails and deposit confirmations.
If you want assistance structuring evidence for legal channels, request a consultation.
