Roughly $3 billion a year industry in the US alone since 2022. This is a rough estimate because it’s based on what has been reported to the FBI

• Starts off with a random text, or a direct message on social media. like LinkedIn, instagram or Tinder

• Moves into a seemingly harmless casual conversation with a nice stranger

• Social media gives them your background information, and personal details so they can really connect with you.

• The person you're talking to does not ask for your help or money directly. 

Instead an opportunity arises. Money comes up naturally in the conversation; just a personal story of how much money the person is making on trading crypto currency. 

• One victim reported he met a man on a dating site, it was after more than a month of daily communication, before the “friend suggested he try it out. 

• Direct the target to a real or simulated crypto trading platfrom, they appear in the app stores, have positive verified reviews. 2Fa and customer service lines set up.

• Some organizations generate their own images for the fake profiles, so they can’t be reverse image searched. 

• They give their employees detailed training manuals about connecting with the target, building trust, and breaking down peoples defenses.

After a couple months of their “investment” growing, when they try to cash out, that's when the victim find out that money was already gone.

In 2023, a report by the United Nations estimated that hundreds of thousands of people have been victims of trafficking and trapped by gang members in this industry.
