The "killing pig pan" scam has been popular in China for many years, and has been widely reported since 2019, and has become a "Top 10 new words in Chinese media in 2019", but it is still a relatively new scam in North America. Recently, the fraud method of "killing pig plate" has frequently appeared in North American Chinese circles recently. Through the creation of "human equipment" and the use of words, the members of the fraud group set up a scam to lure the other party to "invest".

"Are you Linda from the pet store?"

"Evan, I left my laptop at your place last time, can I go to your place and get my laptop now?"

Such messages have been popping up in the United States in recent months, from cell phone texts, Whatspp, telegram, LinkedIn private messages, and so on. In many cases, the text will be sent with a fictitious name.

Many well-intentioned people who are unfamiliar with these scams will reply with text messages reminding them of the mistake. But in reality, these messages are just a way to start a conversation, and when you reply, the other person will say it's the wrong person, apologize, but also take the opportunity to continue the conversation. That is, the first production of "beautiful misunderstanding", then said that "understanding is fate", and then began to ask age, work background and other basic information, through the daily uninterrupted contact and victim to establish feelings, so that the victim is difficult to identify the existence of the scam.

In the two cases we exposed in the United States before, both of them opened the "conversation box" in this way, and the two people who were cheated were a successful project financing lawyer and a doctoral graduate of a prestigious American university:

"A polite message reply, cancer patients trapped in the" killing pig dish "cheated of $2.5 million"

"The deception of the other side is too clever! Chinese Doctor says he was cheated of 330,000 US dollars"

It starts with "misunderstanding" and ends with "investment"

In general, the fraud process is basically through the "wrong number" such as "misunderstanding" to establish contact, shape or beautiful rich, or gentle and considerate "people", after a long time of meticulous care and chat, and then cut into the other side to follow their own investment "steady profit" project. The various "words" and "routines" of liars will continue to progress, and the packaging of their own material packages will also be updated, so how to see the essence through the illusion of these packages and prevent themselves from being deceived has become a new knowledge.

The harm of "killing pig plate" is not only monetary, but also makes the victim emotionally traumatized, and therefore, many victims will be depressed for a long time after being cheated, not only to try to earn money to pay off debts, but also self-healing. In fact, it is not difficult to identify whether it is a "kill pig plate", once the network dating process encountered particularly attentive strangers, and in a short time to worry, take the initiative to determine the love relationship, need to be vigilant, when the other party mentioned money, such as "together to invest to make money" and other requirements, basically can be determined as fraud.
