The pig butchering scam

 Have you ever received a text message from a stranger that seems to be a mistake?  If you reply, then you become a "pig" who is about to get butchered.  The person you are interacting with has a very detailed set of scripts that tells them how to respond to lure you in to their scheme.

Each criminal establishment compound has various scripts available to their staff while running the pig butchering scam. These scripts serve as very detailed guides that tell the staff how to respond to different situations and questions from their targets. These scripts are written by experts, doctors, and professors in psychology, as they are crucial to their success. Compared with traditional scams, pig butchering scams have evolved a lot, combining social engineering, internet technology, psychology, sociology, etc., into a complex new discipline.
