The Scammers
The Rise of the Scamdemic
What began as regional scams in China has evolved into a global criminal enterprisegenerating billions in illicit profits.
The Beginning
Pig butchering scams ("sha zhu pan") emerge in China, initially targeting users on dating apps. Scammers build fake relationships before introducing fraudulent crypto investments.
The Migration

Pandemic Explosion
COVID-19 accelerates the scam epidemic. Isolated victims turn to online connections, providing fertile ground for romance scams.
