The FBI has issued a warning about "pig butchering" scams, which involve fraudsters creating fake online identities and targeting potential victims on dating apps and social media platforms. These scammers spend time building trust and intimacy with their victims before pitching investment opportunities. Victims are asked to download investment apps and make deposits, with the scammers ultimately vanishing with the money. The FBI advises victims to file a report and provide details of the scam, while potential victims are warned against making investment decisions based on advice from people they meet online.
