I Fell for a Pig Butchering Scam – Lost My 401k, Job, and Life Savings
I’m sharing my story anonymously because I’m still reeling from the aftermath and don’t want my identity exposed. I fell victim to a pig butchering scam during one of the lowest, most vulnerable times in my life, and the damage has been catastrophic.
What Happened:
• The Setup:
It all began with what appeared to be a wrong-number text. Soon after, I was contacted on the Telegram app by someone who presented herself as a woman from Singapore who had moved to LA. She claimed to be a manager at a high-end jewelry store and made most of her money trading through JPXguide.com. Over several months, we developed what I believed was a genuine connection—even video chatting and exchanging personal details. To add authenticity, she even mailed me a necktie and provided a two-day mailing receipt with a tracking number.
• The Financial Trap:
I was initially able to deposit money and withdraw small amounts, which reinforced my belief that everything was real. However, when I attempted to withdraw a large portion of my funds, I was suddenly blocked. That’s when I realized I had been scammed. In the end, I lost my 401k, my job, and my life savings. With only about 10–15 years left before retirement, I now face an uncertain future.
• The Deception:
To solidify her identity, she sent me pictures of her driver’s license and work visa. I conducted a reverse image search on these images and uncovered several aliases linked to her. One result revealed a LinkedIn profile under the fictitious name “Vera YANG” (viewable at this URL). Despite telling me her name was Kelly Chan, I later found a second Telegram account using the username @fonavete5134 where she claimed her name was Diana.
• Scammer Contact Details:
Here’s some of the contact information I received from her:
• Telegram ID: @mi_cute88
• Business Number: 1-325-259-5034
• Mobile Number: 1-323-834-3431
• Personal Number: 1-213-854-1914
• Additional Texts: She also texted me from a supposed friend’s phone at 1-650-450-2536
• Taking Action:
Once I realized what had happened, I immediately contacted my local law enforcement and filed reports with the FBI’s IC3 website and the FTC. I’m sharing my experience in the hope that it might help expose her fraudulent network and prevent others from suffering the same fate.
Why I’m Posting:
I’m posting here to warn anyone who might be approached under similar circumstances—especially if you’re contacted unexpectedly via text or messaging apps. Please be extra cautious, verify identities thoroughly, and never hesitate to question details that don’t add up. If you’ve experienced something similar or have any advice on next steps, your input would be greatly appreciated.
I’ve also included several of the photos she sent me as evidence. Stay safe and vigilant out there.
