Inside a Pig Butchering Scam (Early Patron Release)
Added 2024-02-22 20:06:18 +0000 UTCI think you'll find this one quite interesting.
Pig butchering scams are one of the most devastating scams around. They are a combination of a Romance Scam and an Investment Scam (usually involving crypto currency).
In this video, I worked with someone inside a pig butchering scam in Dubai, UAE. He was able to take undercover video and audio to help expose how the scam works. So let's have a look deep inside one of these scams.
Once again, I really appreciate all of your support. I cannot do this without your support.

2024-05-13 18:43:27 +0000 UTCSir Browning Hello from Japan. You know I had a missed call from someone that I think not good. I ask my Japanese co workers if this number is ok? then they told me, it something fishy because there no number in that way in Japan. The caller number is 0896295727 and the caller is using a hospital name like (HITO 病院) I havent been in that name hospital. and I am sure Japanese Hos. Will never use Roman letter name of hospital just like that HITO hos. Do you think this something fishy. There are news in Japan that there are some scammers calling in Japan to victimize Japanese people. We have no a scambaiter in Japan just like you Sir Browning. I hope you have a Japanese friend there in UK or in US, who speak english very well, also japanese and very good in IT. Sir Browning please help us people in Japan🙏🙏🙏please take care of yourself and may god blessing you always including your whole family🙏🙏🙏❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️

2024-03-04 02:29:31 +0000 UTCHow great to see this scam brought forward to the public eyes. John Oliver actually did a piece about this on his latest Last week Tonight show. More people need to become aware of this, especially knowing that the people who contact you, are most likely victims of the gangs themselves.

2024-02-27 18:17:01 +0000 UTCHi Jim. I decided to join your Patreon after this video. Last year I fell victim to a scam like this which was very similar to the Dubai operation with a Ukrainian woman I encountered on a PAID DATING APP who I reckon was one of the in-house models. It was much more advanced and interactive then the average but the gameplan is all the same. Instinctively I knew something was off. Even called it out before I lost anything yet still I got suckered. After a heart breaking divorce. The first time I tried getting back into the dating game this happens 😂

2024-02-27 13:46:43 +0000 UTCGreat job like usual, Jim. I’ve had a pretty bad experience with a new kind of scam that targets people with student loans. If you’re interested, I’d like to share the details with you, because the number of victims is rising quite a bit lately and it’d be good to get the message out for everyone

2024-02-26 21:00:08 +0000 UTCSuggestion: try to investigate evidence of the police taking payoffs from the scammers. There should be evidence somewhere.

2024-02-24 06:29:53 +0000 UTCI don't know if this is relevant, but the fancy car in the video found on the computer has license plates from Okayama, Japan.

2024-02-23 18:46:59 +0000 UTCI could nearly do an entire video on the black of police response. I even had a team who locally liaise with various law enforcement agencies go to Dubai with this evidence and initially the police seemed interested, but they ultimately did nothing and the various PCs were just shut down one day. As for the insider, he's completely out of the country now!
Jim Browning
2024-02-23 08:05:24 +0000 UTCBravo! Two questions this video didn't answer: did the insider who provided the video get away from this job? It seems like many of the "employees" are also victims, in a different way. Also, did the authorities catch up with the leaders, or don't they tend to care in those parts of the world?

2024-02-23 06:40:19 +0000 UTCVery well produced as always, thank you Jim. What you do for everyone is so important, and the reason I have this account. I'm very lucky that I have the perfect defence to protect me from these scanners, it's called wife/partner. Mine has been running for over 45 years.

2024-02-23 06:07:46 +0000 UTCI live in Iraq and I got a scam message on my whatsapp for "investment opportunity" and I knew it was a scam from the first moment. I started with the scammer and thought he got me until I said the following: I know you are a scammer and if you ever try this again with me, your worst nightmares will become like sweet dreams. (I was bluffing tbh) It worked and never got a scam message again. At least my data won't be sold to another scammer.

2024-02-23 03:31:22 +0000 UTCAwesome video! I was on Facebook Dating a couple years ago, and I'd be inundated with requests from the most beautiful Asian women who'd ask to immediately switch to WhatsApp, and of course, it always seemed too good to be true. I never gave them my number, but did chat with a couple of them on the app. The conversation would always switch to investing and how much money they made. I always wondered how these scams work. Thank you for the good work you do!

2024-02-23 01:08:17 +0000 UTCOoo. That's a new variant of both an advance fee scam and a job scam. Very interesting. I'm glad you were around to stop it!
Jim Browning
2024-02-23 00:23:24 +0000 UTCAfter watching this video it reminded me of the scam that I intervened with my nephew for a job he was doing and they were paying him in bitcoin and when he asked when was he going to get paid she told him at the end of the work day but long story short he had to deposit $100 before he could get his pay with bitcoin and I told him he better not send them a dime because it was a scam and didn’t even make sense 🤦🏽♀️so I really appreciate you uploading this video Jim. May the good Lord continue to bless you 🙏🏽😘

2024-02-22 23:47:14 +0000 UTCHey there my wonderful friend I really hate seeing these scams because they are so believable and anyone can fall for this. This is why I adore you so much because you would go to the end of the earth to expose these roaches lol. Thank you so much as always for uploading this excellent video. See you soon my friend ♥️❤️🩹😘

2024-02-22 23:31:17 +0000 UTCSadly I think you'll hear of this sort of scam much more in the future.

2024-02-22 22:56:15 +0000 UTCAs always Mr. Browning,excellent work.This is the first I have heard of a "Pig Butchering" scam. A combo investment and Romance scam.Just goes to show how many scams are out there.Thank you so much for what you do.

2024-02-22 22:34:13 +0000 UTCHey Jim! People really need to be educated on this little known scam. I’ve tried to bait the accidental texters but they take AGES to get to the actual scamming. Also, side note it’s Filipino with an F when referring to the people not the country.
Mostafa
2024-02-22 22:26:54 +0000 UTCExactly. Although you may find attractive men attempting the same scam against women too.
Jim Browning
2024-02-22 21:25:19 +0000 UTCThank you MisR Keep up your own scam baiting!
Jim Browning
2024-02-22 21:24:37 +0000 UTCNot deliberate! I've now corrected it! Thank you.
Jim Browning
2024-02-22 21:23:19 +0000 UTCYay - was there yesterday. Enjoy!

2024-02-22 21:14:05 +0000 UTCGreat video! I never heard of that term before so thank you for the explanation.
Renata
2024-02-22 20:42:51 +0000 UTCExcellent video as always, Jim. This may have been an intentional choice, but fyi: the on-screen text at 1:30 says "butching" instead of "butchering."
Ben White
2024-02-22 20:39:49 +0000 UTCThat’s an scam I haven’t seen. Basically the appeal is making money and having an attractive woman introduce the scam makes it seem legit? Thanks for all you do and efforts you make to make the public aware and destroy the scamming.
