HK Woman Loses HK$2M (US$256K) to Romance Scam

Imagine losing everything to a charming online stranger. A Hong Kong woman fell victim to a "pig butchering" scam, losing nearly HK$2 million (US$256,000). Her story is a chilling wake-up call: it could happen to you.

She met a "successful investor" online who wooed her with promises of love and wealth. Ignoring friends’ warnings, she invested her HK$300,000 (US$38,400) life savings and borrowed HK$1.6 million (US$204,800) for a fake cryptocurrency scheme. The result? Financial ruin, mounting debts, and heartbreak. "Pig butchering" scams are surging globally, using AI, fake profiles, and emotional manipulation to exploit trust. Once the money’s gone, recovery is nearly impossible.
