Indore (Madhya Pradesh): City police have issued an advisory and warned people about a dangerous online fraud known as the “Pig Butchering Scam,” in which criminals build emotional relationships with victims and then trick them into making investments to steal their savings.
Additional DCP (crime) Rajesh Dandotiya said that in this type of scam, fraudsters first gain a person’s trust by talking to them regularly and forming a friendly or romantic connection online.
Once the victim feels comfortable, the fraudster suggests investment opportunities and convinces them to put in money. In the end, the victim loses a large amount of money.
