      Crypto scam is a Child play, AI Scam is capable of so much more Devastation,
      why would they talk to you, when they can just impersonate you,
      after all you already put everything on the internet.

      AVOID contacting/dating the following kinds of people on dating apps for mental and financial well-being:
      1) Supermodel like women with a lot of glamourous photographs and very little concise written information about them - very likely fake profiles
      2) Women with ambiguous educational and career details (will usually mention something vague like Real Estate or Finance).
      They are out to sell you real estate, time share, crypto or some other investment pitch, and most likely will swindle you.
      3) Women who mention stuff like they want to date men in therapy or seeking therapy - very likely there to sell you some expensive self-help program/therapy or sign you up for a cult that uses beautiful women to recruit, and for which these women receive commissions. There was a similar cult from a few years ago starting with "N" - look it up.
      4) Women who provide very little unique/specific information and have a lot of glamourous photos featuring exotic locales and yachts - most likely escorts/prossies whose lifestyles are being financed by rich sugadaddies
      5) Women passing through airports or just passing through your city for a short period - see 4)
      6) Women with social media addiction, especially to TikTok and Instagram

      That's not how it works, victims don't know they are giving them their money in the first place.
      It's made to look like like a crypto market, where the victim "invests" a small amount of money into a crypto currency, or another type of investment, so it looks like a brokerage account that one would open an account with.
      Once the victim sees quick and significant gains in the value of their account consistently, they will be tempted to put increasingly more of their available cash into this rapidly growing "investment" while they have the opportunity.
      Once that large investment is made, the scammers have all the victims' money, and that account and those investments were fake all along.
      That's why they call it the "pig butchering scam."
      They "fatten" their victim up before the slaughter.

      That's just it, the victim does do it all themselves. They believe they are actually investing, on a legitimate market, in an account that they opened and they believe belongs to them.
      The victim can put money in and take money out just like with a normal account as well, so they do tend to "test the waters" before jumping in. That's why the deception needs to be as believable as possible.

    The prevailing comments tend to, as here, blame the victims.
    Now, with increased isolation thanks to apps and socials people are feeling loneliness. And thanks to that same isolation, you won’t have a banker or other intercessor in the process.
    The first lady sounds like she either got a refi loan or huge loc and thought she could trust someone. God forbid she took out a 401k loan.

      The victim has a role to play in this , more broadly however , I think the rise in social scams shows how much our education systems have no taught critical thinking , to not think about situations you are in. You cannot blame someone if the scammer was a hacker and exploited an app, but with the amount of material out there of “don’t give money to strangers , don’t answer calls” etc etc , it’s wild to see people still falling for it

    • @zepher664
      @zepher664 4 месяца назад

      No, they are not giving them money.
      They are tricked into opening a fake investing account, that looks real, and repeatedly investing over a period of time. The scammers make it look like the accounts value is growing very quickly, and the victim can even withdraw more money than they initially put in.
      Of course, they are hinted towards doing this by a person they believe they are trying to have a relationship with.
      It is only after they commit and put in substantial sums of money into the account that the scammers pull the rug out from under them and take all the money and vanish.

      It's a little smarter of a scam than that. Instead of "hey my car broke down and I need money don't you love me send me some?" They say "hey I'm doing great for myself and you said you hate how little interest you make from you're savings account, I invest on this platform if you wanted to you can to and make great money", you're tempted not to see it as a scam because the person telling you about it doesn't get handed the money (their fake legitimate looking website does), you know them from something unrelated (dating site), and they supposedly love you (social engineering).
