“pig butchering,” a term that refers to a months-long scheme to “fatten up” victims with fake romance before “butchering” with fake investment advice.


Didn’t know it had a name......................

Me neither. What I learned was.. victim is coaxed into buying crypto from a fake exchange. Fake statements are sent out showing a small increase in balance. At this point victim is allowed to withdraw everything. But the temptation is to buy even more, potentially using up all of his/her savings. Then WHAM !

For women the term is friendzoning, or just, regular dating.

I can’t keep up with all the new lingo.

“Lingo’’. Is that word even still used?

I still don’t know what ‘’bonking’’ means.
