I'm pretty open to all varieties as long as the narrators voice isn't terrible.

The BBC made an excellent documentary on pig butchering scams:

I knew someone who was a victim of one of these scams from 2019 - 2023

Edit: Sorry, you specifically said youtube. Cringe Link O'Chest moment: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=bW4wYV0V-5s

And I also commented twice. Ugh, what a train wreck.

I was like fuck 😳

Lmao but fr I wish that scam had a different name, one that makes it a bit more apparent how the scam works. I get the idea of the hog being fattened and slaughtered, but that's way too metaphorical imo

Oh that’s funny. I thought pig butchering scams involved, somehow, shenanigans around the business of literally butchering pigs. Geez
