They thought they found love…
 Instead, they walked straight into a digital slaughterhouse.

In this shocking episode of Cyber Crime Junkies, host Dean Mauro and Dr. Sergio Sanchez expose the dark world of pig butchering scams — where victims are “fattened up” with trust before being bled dry financially and emotionally.

We reveal:

·       The $1M “Brad Pitt” romance scam that fooled a highly educated professional.

·       How AI deepfakes and voice cloning make fraudsters nearly impossible to spot.

·       Crypto investment cons promising 80% annual returns that vanish overnight.

💡 If it’s too good to be true… it’s a setup.
Don’t become another headline. Learn the tactics before they learn YOU.
