Shreya Datta, an Indian-American software professional, fell prey to the 'pig butchering scam,' losing $450,000 in an online love scam involving cryptocurrency investments. Scammers exploited her vulnerability post-divorce, posing as a French wine trader named Ancel. Despite assurances of a profitable retirement plan, doubts arose when the platform demanded additional fees. The FBI reports widespread cryptocurrency fraud, with victims often hesitant to report due to shame.
