An American woman kept pretending to be a good person, advising me that the other party was a Southeast Asian "pig butchering scam" and that I should stop sending money to their fake platform account. She also said that the other party was not a real person and was not in the United States. After I was scammed, she kept comforting me and helping me report it to the police. Then she suddenly said she could help me earn back whatever I could. I immediately knew what kind of person the American woman was. She couldn't transfer the money to the Ponzi scheme she was promoting through the exchange, so I guessed why the American woman called her a scammer and helped report her to the police: because the scammer had stolen her big fish.

I urge everyone to be wary not only of Southeast Asian scammers but also of Western scammers. Western scammers don't have the same sophisticated and advanced operational platforms as their Southeast Asian counterparts, who are trained in jargon and psychology. Under no circumstances should you trust anyone except your family!
