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
- An online contact you never met introduces a 'can't-lose' platform
- The app shows profits but withdrawals require 'tax' or 'fees' first
- Urgency 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.
