Romance Scam (Pig Butchering)
Scammers build fake romantic relationships over weeks or months, then introduce a "can't-miss" investment opportunity. Victims lose both love and money.
Task / Employment Scam
Fake jobs offering easy money for simple tasks. After small payments build trust, victims must "invest" to unlock higher-paying tasks — then get blocked.
Impersonation Scam
Fake cops, bank officers, or government agents claim you're in trouble. They demand money, gift cards, or crypto to "resolve" the issue.
Fake Investment Platform
Professional-looking websites show huge returns. All numbers are fake. Withdrawals require endless fees — then the site vanishes.
Tech Support Scam
Pop-ups or calls claiming your computer is infected. Scammers request remote access, then "find" problems and demand payment for fake fixes.
Fake Delivery / Courier Scam
Texts claiming a package couldn't be delivered. The link leads to a fake website that steals your credit card info for a small "redelivery fee."
Loan / Debt Relief Scam
"Guaranteed loan" or "debt forgiveness" offers. Victims pay upfront fees — then never receive the loan or service.
Ticket / Gift Card Scam
Fake event tickets or discounted gift cards sold on social media. Payment is sent, but tickets/cards never arrive.
