The pig killing scam is a well-designed method of online fraud. Scammers first get to know potential victims through social media, dating platforms, etc., and establish false intimate relationships. After gaining the victim's trust, the scammer will induce the victim to participate in so-called investment projects, promising high returns. These projects are often non-existent or fake, and once victims invest their money, they cannot get it back. The scammer will eventually disappear, leaving the victim in endless pain.
Ⅱ. The harm of the pig-killing plate scam
The dangers of the pig-killing plate scam cannot be underestimated. First, it brings huge economic losses to the victims. Scammers take advantage of the victim's trust and induce them to invest large amounts of money, which will eventually be lost.

Victims often feel frustrated, angry and helpless after realizing they have been scammed, which can even lead to mental health issues.
