Pig Butchering: Stages & Evidence
These scams are pattern-based. Most institutional investigators understand them best when the story is documented as stages with dated proof.
Document each stage with the evidence that proves it.
Pig butchering scams follow a predictable pattern: trust building, opportunity pitch, platform onboarding, escalation, and withdrawal obstruction. Our reports structure each stage with timestamped evidence, making it easy for reviewers to see the full manipulation sequence.
Stage 1–2: Trust & Pitch
- Preserve early identity claims and profile screenshots
- Capture the initial opportunity pitch
- Save screenshots about profits or withdrawals
- Document the transition from personal to financial
Stage 3: Platform Onboarding
- Save platform URLs and app links
- Screenshot onboarding instructions
- Capture dashboard and deposit prompts
- Note how you were directed to the platform
Stage 4: Escalation
- Document pressure tactics and deadlines
- Save mentor/group dynamics evidence
- Capture requests for additional deposits
- Note any emotional manipulation
Stage 5–6: Withdrawal Block & Retargeting
- Screenshot withdrawal errors and new requirements
- Save fee demands and instructions
- Be skeptical of recovery guarantees
- Document any secondary targeting attempts
