ACTIVE ALERTS
From the Office of Inspector General, FDIC, located in Arlington, Virginia:
What you need to know about a fast-growing scam known as “Pig Butchering.” This scam is named in reference to the practice of fattening a pig before slaughter. It is a type of confidence and investment fraud in which the victim is gradually lured into making increasing monetary contributions, generally in the form of cryptocurrency, to a seemingly sound investment before the scammer disappears with the contributed monies.
