Anatomy of a Scam - Pig Butchering

In our Anatomy of a Scam series, Keegan goes over Pig Butchering. This is where the criminals contact you via social media, get you to "invest." Then they try to get you to invest more and more, or send friends and family to them.

The whole time, they are showing you that your investment is growing, but in reality, your money is already gone.
