The amount of effort that these groups have put into their "pig butchering" operations is impressive.

My experience with online dating and the catfishing that I received (is that even the correct verb?) ranged between poor and mediocre (if I drank as much alcohol as I did in my 30s, I suspect that I could have been scammed out of lots of money - I am a bit too cynical and analytical these days). What I see on videos about "pig butchering" is orders of magnitude more intense. What the article documents is frightening.



these people are preying on sorrow and loneliness, and the victim is not only robbed, but emotionally assaulted, some dont surive that.
