I got a call on Signal and this is what unfolded. The responses just don’t seem human.

    This is the start of a long scam called “pig butchering”. It starts with “Hi someone! Oh sorry, wrong number, okay. But how are you?”. Eventually they start to do something like share crypto tips, steering people to use their brokerage or buy their (fake) crypto. Other times it is a romance scam. There are other variations, too.
