币界网报道:A woman lost $430,000 in a cryptocurrency romance scam after meeting a man on a dating app who convinced her to invest in a fraudulent trading platform. The scammer, posing as a wealthy investor, built trust over months before introducing her to the platform, where she initially saw fake profits. After transferring her life savings, she was unable to withdraw funds and the scammer disappeared. Authorities warn that such "pig butchering" scams—where fraudsters cultivate relationships before exploiting victims—are on the rise, with crypto scams costing Americans over $1 billion in 2023. Experts advise skepticism toward unsolicited investment opportunities and recommend verifying platforms independently.
