Tout débute par une promesse frauduleuse sur les réseaux sociaux : de faux articles avec des vedettes vantant des profits mirobolants en cryptomonnaie. Derrière cet appât se cache une redoutable machine de fraude où de prétendus conseillers financiers manipulent leurs victimes avec une précision psychologique redoutable, jusqu'à siphonner la totalité de leurs économies.

Opérant depuis l'étranger avec un mépris total pour les autorités, ces criminels ont fait du Canada une de leurs cibles de choix.

Aujourd'hui, une fuite de données exceptionnelle permet de faire éclater la vérité. Enquête a eu accès à des milliers d'heures d'enregistrements, révélant les coulisses de ces centres d'appel : manipulation, mensonges et cruauté, captés sur le vif. En suivant les témoignages poignants des victimes,
L'ENQUÊTE NOUS MÈNE SUR LA TRACE DES FRAUDEURS, JUSQU'EN GÉORGIE.

DUBAI

The city of mirages!

INCREDIBLE WORK

FROM Jim Browning

"Yes! After I released a video last year about a Pig Butchering scam in Dubai, the UAE police took notice and raided the building. Not only that, but they following up their intelligence leads to raid more buildings and even captured the head of the Chinese gang.

Absolutely amazing work. I'd like to hope that the video embarrassed the police or the royal family into action.

In all, 2-3,000 people were arrested with the majority deported. The ring leaders were jailed and more than $20 million was recovered.

I can only hope that this is an example of what can be done."

“Pig butchering” scams got its name from the idea that scammers “fatten up” victims by building trust, and the strategy has amassed billions in stolen funds—particularly in the form of cryptocurrencies.

Losses from investment scams soared 38% to a new record high in 2023, according to the FBI’s Internet Crime Report. Of the $4.57 billion in funds reported stolen, $3.96 billion involved fraudulent crypto investments. So, why are these scams so successful and what is law enforcement doing about it?
