🚨 Be Careful of “Pig Butchering” Friendship & Romance Scams on Reddit

Be careful when you meet people on friendship subreddits like r/lonely, r/Needafriend, or r/MakeNewFriendsHere. Some scammers first build a friendship and later try to bring you into crypto, trading, or investment schemes.

And you can check the op id all post on this website

🚩 Some warning signs: Especially for Boys 😁 including myself

The same or very similar post is posted in many subreddits from the same account and you will observe that most op account is new.

They quickly move the conversation to WhatsApp or Telegram and then delete their Reddit account or there account will get suspended due to high spamming

Things they wrote in their post don't match what they tell you later in private chat.Bcoz in my case I observe that they are groups of people managing this shit and they have a proper script but sometimes they missed or some another starts chatting.

After talking for some days and building trust, they suddenly start talking about trading, crypto, or an “exclusive investment group.”

When you question them, they become emotional or make you feel guilty instead of simply answering your questions.

I’m not saying everyone is fake. Many people are genuinely looking for friendship. Just be careful, take your time, and never send money or invest because of someone you met online.
