The ominous-sounding "pig butchering scam" has grown in popularity over the last several years. Scammers find a victim through dating apps, text, or other online methods, befriend them and encourage them to invest in cryptocurrency. Once the target has invested all they have, the scammer steals the money and disappears. On average, romance scams like this take an average of $4,400 dollars! Learn what signs to look for and how to stay safe from these schemes.
