Guest Post (translated)
Sometimes I really can't help but feel confused by the changes in the world. Human society seems to have returned to a primitive society, being at the top of the highest food chain, it is surprising that a large organized group has opened the era of cannibalism, from a spiritual point of view society is undoubtedly going backwards. This is a frightening and worrying era.
The development of the Internet, it must be said, has brought us extraordinary convenience and good user enjoyment. The airplane has made the world without distance, and the Internet has made people at both ends of the world without distance, and has also allowed corporate businesses to realize distance-free sales of their products. However, the Internet also makes the occasional fraud crime, now developed into the norm of professional corporate team management crime, they are breaking the social system, not to pay labor to get paid directly to others around the world to plunder wealth. What is their purpose, money without upper limit, morality without lower limit, fraud to money by any means.
What is this, this is to kill the pig pan. This word is not new in Southeast Asian countries or among the many Chinese, because the world's largest group of victims is the territory of China, Taiwan and overseas Chinese, the number of victims of tens of millions of people. But in the future, the term is bound to become popular in Europe and the United States, because the fraudsters will no longer target their prey mainly at Chinese Americans. According to a 2021 World Journal report on New York Assistant District Attorney Joseph Conley of the Queens District Attorney's Office, the "piggy bank" scam cost the United States $300 million in 2020 alone. On March 26, 2020, the National Institutes of Health (NIH) website, www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov published a research report, titled "Online Love Scams: Relationship Dynamics and Psychological Characteristics of Victims and Scammers." The report states that because "victims feel shame after being scammed and are afraid to speak to outsiders, it can lead to an underestimation of the number of cases."
And the actual Pig Butchering Plate is not the same as a romance scam; the romance pig butchering plate is just one branch, and the other is a investment fraud under the appearance of legitimacy. The use of establishing a love relationship is only one of the scamming groups as a means of operating on their suitable prey. Victims range in age from 15 to 85 years old, nearly 90% are women, not every prey is in a relationship with them or suitable for a relationship script. As for the money market scam, the scam group will lure the victims to operate on platforms such as Mt5, Coinbase, Crypto.com, etc. that have the appearance of legitimacy, and the victims can download the App directly from the App store of their Apple phones, which allows the victims to put down their guard. Since it can be downloaded on the App store, the victim rightfully believes that this platform is not a problem and dares to boldly transfer the money into it, however, once the money is entered, regardless of the account profit or loss, your money is no longer yours. Some of these platforms do not provide security for the user's account operations at all, and some are supposed to be complicit in turning a blind eye to the violations on the platform.
After calling to report the crime, the victims might think about a question: what is the greatest significance of the invention of digital currency? The police said that cryptocurrency e-wallets make money difficult to track, and for the victims the invention of cryptocurrency is indeed a major boost for fraud syndicate, providing the perfect platform to operate, the perfect way to launder money and escape the law.
So how does the killing plate start, and what is the common set up process for the killing plate?
[note: GASO simplifies the below to 4 steps]
Step 1 is to find the prey
First they will be in a variety of social media software (such as whatsapp, Line, Facebook, etc.) randomly find the age of the main attack in the 30 years of age or older, this age group of people are generally a certain number of years of work, such people usually have some savings, and this type of age above a certain demand for feelings, they will take this type of people as quality targets. The other is by buying personal information, according to the screening of quality targets. This target is what they call a pig in the industry.
Step 2 is to gain trust
The scammers will add friends after, usually will fake some misunderstanding to start a conversation with you, create a kind of fate (such as he said he wanted to adopt your family's pet dog), they are a gentleman polite, and then began to chat with you frequently, they will master a very appropriate chatting techniques, and chat with you every day at regular intervals, the attitude is enthusiastic, the topic is interesting not dull, so that you are willing to chat with him. Give you timely care, so that you gradually trust them, for single, divorced or broken feelings in the people will use the love offensive and you develop a relationship with lovers, and establish a higher degree of trust, and have a stronger degree of control over you.
Step 3, encourage investment
When trust is successfully established, they will begin to stand in the perspective of close friends very sincere hope and help you subsidize to improve the quality of life, or planning your common future, encouraging you to buy stocks, speculation in foreign exchange or betting in their homemade platform, most people will try a small investment a few, the scammer will operate through the background, so that you make a small profit a few. And take the initiative to let you withdraw some cash and buy some clothes or supplies to reward yourself.
Step 4, a lot of investment
The first thing you need to do is to get a good idea of what you are getting into. You can also get more money when you need it. This is when you are convinced of the scammer and you put a lot of money into the platform.
Step 5, can not withdraw cash
After the victim has invested a large amount of money, and to determine your position to the limit, the scammer will lure you to operate to burst, creating an accident, the investment failed. At this point the scammer will not go away, he will say find a way to be positioned and encourage you to borrow money to cover the position to start over. Or when you want to withdraw the principal, they will use the excuse of upgrading the background to refuse your withdrawal, or let you pay taxes so that you can raise money again into their account, and in the end still can not successfully withdraw.
Step 6: Sell out
When you finally realize the scam and try to deal with the other party again, the other party pulls you out and the scammer disappears. Then your information may be at this time by this there fraudulent company, your chat records may be resold to other fraudulent companies. You are desperate to get your money back, you will look for a lawyer, you will look for a hacker, however you will probably be at risk of being scammed twice [recovery scams].
The scammer disappears, and the victim finds that he or she has little to no valid information about the scammer under his or her control; the scammer's photo, name, and location, including the platform, are all fake. You lose everything, the scammer drains your blood, all you have left is a shell and a debt, and the aftermath of the scam. You no longer dare to trust people, you doubt everything, you lose the ability to trust, but this is not a disease, but you finally get a thorough understanding of evil after paying an expensive lesson, and you should always be in this state of vigilance, because the moral integrity of society is broken. This is not an incidental crime, but a professional crime, and if the judiciary does not curb this crime from all aspects, there are bound to be more and more victims around you.
I joined a group of American victims in late March of this year, and there were more than 100 people in the group. I couldn't help but check the avatars of each member of the group, and they were not all Asian faces, proving that scam victims are indeed no longer limited to Asians. I listened to the stories of several people in the group, one was scammed out of $500,000 and she got divorced and is now raising her children alone, one was scammed out of $1.2 million, he is 50 years old and he said he even lost his daughter's college education money, except for his health which has become very bad and he needs long term psychological support. In addition to the $2 million she lost, the scammer had been chatting with her online for seven months, and she had to face another layer of guilt because while she was being scammed herself, she referred about 20 of her friends and family members who had lost a total of more than $1 million. Each victim has a different background, different personality, different age, different career, different education, different stories, different scam scripts, but the end is the same, we can not know how many people can not bear the impact of suicide, but also do not know how many victims of family break-up, do not know how many victims and depression into knots. Each kill plate destroyed not an individual but a family, but the law still seems to be the standard for economic fraud cases, making the cost of the crime lower for the entire criminal group. For example, if a person kills himself or herself after being defrauded and then commits suicide, the law has different sentences for the same life that died because of persecution.
While the fraudsters drink human blood, eat human flesh, fly private jets and yachts, and count their money, many victims are thinking about getting a second or third job to pay off their debts, and are unable to talk about the trauma they are suffering. Some feel ashamed of being cheated, while others feel that talking about it is of no practical use and will not solve anything and will only add to the worries of their families. In the workplace, some people are also afraid that speaking out will directly affect their bosses' perceptions of them and affect their own personal employment prospects.
It is not shameful to be cheated by a pig killing plate, because the biggest root cause of many victims being cheated is the lack of awareness of human evil and the inability to imagine that such a thing so contrary to moral inferiority could be so rampant in this world. The pig-killing dish belongs to fraud, but more accurately, it is a lure, it is a carefully laid out bureau, step by step for a long time to lure you into it. You have been tricked because you are just a person who has not been immunized against scams, you have been tricked not because you are greedy, empty, stupid, but because you cannot escape from a tailor-made and well-designed game for you. The difference between those who are not scammed and those who are scammed is simply that those who are not scammed know that it is a scam, not because they are not greedy or particularly smart, and most of the victims are not gamblers. No one in this world can withstand temptation, only temptation is not big enough, this temptation may be happiness is love is health is wealth. You have been cheated because the fraudster is an organized team with mentor training, as well as psychological research, professional fraud team. The game is a game that the victim is doomed to lose from the beginning.
Today in Southeast Asian countries such as Myanmar, Cambodia, the Philippines, Dubai, and especially in northern Myanmar, such specialized, professional, and syndicated criminal fraud groups have 500,000 practitioners in 2018 statistics. And by today we know from fraudsters that the number of practitioners is now 4 million people, with professional thugs, military armed forces and local snakes. There are two questions here that puzzle me, the first is just how much profit can a country allow patches of fraudulent parks to operate in syndicates within that country. Secondly how does the world turn a blind eye to fraud on such a scale and why can fraud syndicates be so reckless without being sanctioned by the law. They are a bunch of devils in human skin in the 21st century, they are a bunch of zombies.
Some people may feel curious about how the professionalism of fraud syndicates has grown and where all these scammers come from. The first layer of people who communicate with victims to strike up a conversation are called dog pushers in this chain of killing pigs on a plate. Some dog pushers are lured over by fraudulent companies using high paying ads posted on the internet for multinational positions, and when they arrive in third party countries, they are immediately seized passports, cell phones, and sent to fraudulent parks for intensive training in fraudulent tactics as well as psychological knowledge. Some of these people find out that they are doing fraud and don't want to leave or run away because they don't want to do it on their conscience. They are forced to submit to various kinds of lynchings such as beatings, water jails, electric shocks, burial alive, prostitution, organ transplants, etc. when they are caught. The other is the theory that the training instructors will psychologically break the brainwashing. If you pity them, who will pity you. Of course more is a lot of young people who know it is a scam and willing to become a dog push just to make a quick buck, cheat the money, and then open a new stall to start a new business, recruiting another scam team.
Fraud team can easily replicate, because the fraud group very early already has a fairly mature upstream and downstream industry chain, fraud group regardless of size, can be directly cheap procurement to four sets (i.e., cell phone cards, bank cards, u shields, ID card copies), you want the real they can all easily give. The small scale fraud group's do not want to raise their own programmers also have professional development companies to do all kinds of investment or betting APP according to their needs to develop what features can have. If the App is taken down and then do a cost is also very low. Some people may want to ask fraudulent companies fraudulent so much money, money fraudulent to how to use how to wash? The general public know what third-party payment is, and the fraudulent company is using four-party payment, what is four-party payment, four-party payment is relative to the third party, as an expansion of the third-party payment platform services. Third-party payments are between banks and merchants, while fourth-party payments are between third-party payments and merchants, without the restrictions of a payment license. According to the police, four-party payment is the so-called "green channel" for telecom fraud, online gambling and other criminal groups to extract and bleach illegal funds. After registering "third-party payment" accounts by buying a large number of shell companies or using employees' personal information, the criminals then build a network platform and use these accounts to collect customer funds and undertake the financial settlement of the relevant black and grey interest chain. It is said that the fraudulent company only pays a small amount equivalent to the exchange rate difference to be perfectly cleaned.
It has been five months since I realized I was cheated in late December last year, and I feel that this matter is like a can never get over in my mind. If it was a failed investment and I lost everything, I would start all over again, but this was not a failed investment, but a conspiracy, a fraud. I am concerned every day about everything related to scams, who should pay for the victims? In the world of the internet, it is sometimes really confusing that instead of blaming the perpetrators of this scam, there is a group of people who only blame the victims, attributing the blame for this scam to the greed, stupidity and ignorance of the victims. What is called greed, people will be greedy, greed in the normal value called desire, greed, greed, greed without degree that is greed. The real greedy people are the bosses after this scam, greedy for others which is against human moral plunder. And stupid people are the people who sell their bank cards, document information on the web to others. The real ignorant people are this group of "victim guilt" people, who can't see the whole event's priority and define it indiscriminately, so that the victims will be hurt twice, more reluctant to speak out, and lead to a vicious circle.
Victims should be brave enough to come forward and not be ashamed of being cheated. What they should be ashamed of is the justice system that has stood by and done nothing to address this series of crimes. Social media, which gives us a lot of entertainment, gives us a lot of convenience, and whether we like it or not, our life is basically in a state of inseparable from the network, we can say that social media is a quite successful invention of the world progress, but we can also say that social media is a very bad invention, because in the era of big data, we always can not know when our personal information various data, at what time in which web page, our personal information was leaked. And the current pig-killing disk is more like the Covid virus now in early 2019, many people think it is simple to prevent and control, but it is not, it is a virus that often mutates and upgrades without knowing his high infectivity and lethality.
