In recent years, a tricky type of scam known as “pig butchering” has caused huge money losses for many people. It’s a situation where scammers spend a lot of time building a relationship with someone, fattening up their trust, just like feeding a pig, until they’re ready to ‘butcher’ or steal all of their victim’s money.

In response to the rise of these scams, Meta, which owns Facebook and other social media platforms, is taking action. They’re putting in new measures to find and shut down fake accounts that are connected to these schemes. By doing this, Meta is trying to protect its users from falling prey to these types of scams, which is really important since so many people use social media daily.

Fighting against online scams requires not just efforts from big companies like Meta, but also awareness and preparedness from individuals and businesses. It’s about knowing the signs of a scam and being cautious with personal information or money.
