Of the various fraud scheme names that have been coined over the years, “Pig Butchering” is one that provokes the most visceral response based on the name alone. And yet, the actual act of Pig Butchering is even more horrible than the name suggests. It is the latest variation of an age-old type of crime under the umbrella of “Romance Schemes”.

Guest Erin West, founder of Operation Shamrock, speaks about the mission to raise awareness of pig butchering with everyone, everywhere, all the time. Learn more about your ad choices.
