About this webinar

Fraud is no longer just transactional—it is relational, psychological, and highly engineered. “The Cost of Convenience Series: Pig Butchering, Crypto Fraud, and Investment Scams” examines some of the fastest-growing global fraud models that blend emotional manipulation with digital finance to create long-term, high-yield deception systems.

In this webinar, Ashley Karr unpacks the structure behind pig butchering scams, fake investment platforms, and cryptocurrency fraud schemes that rely on trust-building over time rather than immediate exploitation. Participants will learn how victims are gradually groomed, how legitimacy is manufactured through digital interfaces, and why modern financial platforms often amplify both reach and believability.

The session focuses on understanding the behavioral and operational design of these schemes, offering participants a clearer view of how large-scale fraud is sustained in today’s interconnected digital economy—and how awareness can disrupt the cycle before financial loss occurs.

Key Topics Discussed:

  • Structure and lifecycle of pig butchering scams
  • Fake investment platforms and fraudulent trading systems
  • Cryptocurrency fraud and digital asset manipulation
  • Emotional grooming and trust escalation techniques
  • Psychological tactics used in long-term financial scams
  • Platform design features that create false legitimacy
  • Recovery myths and secondary scam exploitation
  • Cross-border and digital-first fraud operations
  • Behavioral patterns that increase victim susceptibility
