What Are Romance Crypto Scams?
A romance crypto scam (also called pig butchering or Sha Zhu Pan) is when someone builds a fake romantic relationship with you online, then convinces you to invest in a fake cryptocurrency platform. You deposit money. You see fake profits. When you try to withdraw, you cannot. The person disappears.
How Romance Crypto Scams Work
Step 1 – The Approach: The scammer contacts you on a dating app (Tinder, Bumble, Hinge), social media (Instagram, Facebook), or messaging app (WhatsApp, Telegram). They use fake photos and a fake name.
Step 2 – Building Trust: They talk to you every day for weeks or months. They learn about you. They share fake stories about their life. You develop feelings.
Step 3 – The Investment Introduction: They mention they are “making good money with crypto.” They offer to “teach you” or “help you invest.”
Step 4 – The Fake Platform: They send you a link to a fake exchange or trading platform. The platform looks real. It shows fake profits.
Step 5 – The Trap: You deposit money. Your dashboard shows huge profits. When you try to withdraw, you are told to pay “taxes,” “fees,” or “verification charges.” You pay. Then the platform disappears. The person disappears.

Frequently Asked Questions
How long does romance scam recovery take?
3-8 weeks if funds reach an exchange. 2-4 months for complex cases.
What information do I need?
The scammer’s name and profile photos (if saved), the platform name or website URL, transaction hashes, the address you sent to, screenshots of conversations, and the dating app or social media platform used.
Is the $99 fee refundable?
Yes – if your case is unrecoverable, we refund 100%.
Why is it called pig butchering?
The scammer “fattens the pig” (builds trust) before “slaughtering” (stealing your money). It is brutal but accurate.
I feel embarrassed. Is this my fault?
No. These scammers are professionals. They know exactly how to manipulate emotions. Thousands of smart, successful people have fallen for this. You are not alone.
Can you identify who scammed me?
In many cases, yes. Exchange accounts require identity verification. We can trace the scammer’s real identity through their exchange account.
What should I do if someone I met online asks me to invest in crypto?
Do not invest. It is almost certainly a scam. Legitimate romantic partners do not ask you to invest in crypto platforms.
How can I avoid romance crypto scams?
Never send money to someone you have not met in person. Never invest on a platform recommended by an online romantic interest. Verify investment platforms independently. Do a reverse image search on profile photos.
Do I need to share my private keys?
Never. We only need transaction hashes and wallet addresses.
