Pig Butchering (Sha Zhu Pan)

A long-con romance or friendship built over weeks on social apps, steering the victim onto a fake trading platform that shows fabricated profits until a large deposit is made.

Red flags

Any one of these is enough to stop and verify before you send money.

What to look for
  • 01An online contact you never met introduces a 'can't-lose' platform
  • 02The app shows profits but withdrawals require 'tax' or 'fees' first
  • 03Urgency and secrecy around a limited-time opportunity

What to do

Any platform reached through a stranger's message should be treated as fraudulent until independently verified. Withdrawals that require upfront fees are a defining sign.
