China Overseas Chinese Network, October 8th. According to the US "World Journal" report, a lawyer in New York, the United States, previously said that three Chinese people asked for help a week claiming to have fallen into a "killing pig" scam. After that, many victims reported that they had suffered similar scams. , Including a highly educated Chinese woman who was defrauded of up to 440,000 US dollars.
Attorney Mr. Tang said that in the recently accepted case of "killing pigs", many Chinese women were defrauded of more than $200,000 in savings. Originally, he hoped to expose the matter to prevent more people from being fooled. As a result, more victims contacted. he.
One of the victims was a 30-year-old Chinese woman with a high degree of education. She met a netizen through social media. The two chatted more and more closely and began to enter the state of "online dating"; the other party began to show off that she had earned money through speculation. High-yield, and persuaded the woman to join in and invest with him.
The Chinese woman did not suspect fraud and used the $200,000 that her mother had given her to buy an apartment for investment. Even if she was found out by her mother, she said she would double it back soon, and then the woman borrowed it from her father in China. An additional investment of 800,000 yuan (about 120,000 US dollars), plus the woman's own deposits and other borrowings.
In the end, she was defrauded of $440,000.
Attorney Tang said that according to the descriptions of the victims who found him, these "killing pig pan" scams were very similar. The scammers first used the avatars of handsome boys and beautiful women to add friends on various social media and dating apps, and then posted them. All kinds of tall life photos further win the favor of the victims. During the long-term chatting and expressing concern, the victims relax their guard and further warm up their feelings.
