Exposing pig butchering fraud: A case study from HSI

Pig butchering financial fraud schemes are a combination of romance and investment fraud that preys on emotions, exploiting feelings of trust, affection, and hope. Victims may be reluctant to report the fraud due to embarrassment or a continued belief in the fraudulent promises. However, it’s crucial for individuals to remain vigilant and skeptical, especially when it comes to financial matters involving romantic relationships with unfamiliar individuals.

If someone promises extravagant returns or asks for money, it’s essential to thoroughly research the investment opportunity and consider seeking advice from trusted financial professionals or family members before proceeding.

In this session, we will explore a case study with Homeland Security Investigations looking for red flags and how the BSA and fraud departments can assist law enforcement.
