Episode Details

Jacqueline Crenshaw was looking for companionship when she joined a dating app in 2023. Over the next few months, a man she knew as Brandon showered her with attention, gifts, and promises of a shared future before persuading her to invest her life savings, retirement funds, and even her home equity into a cryptocurrency platform. But the whole relationship was part of a scheme known as “pig butchering,” a method of fraud where scammers build a relationship with victims to gain their trust and then drain them of their assets. And by the time the truth emerged, Jacqueline had lost around a million dollars.
