Why are people easily caught in the "online dating scam" in recent years?

We often see such news on hot lists and headlines: jane doe/male was cheated by xx million in the online dating pig trap.

Many people will think it is outrageous to be cheated because of online dating. Obviously, you haven't met. You've known each other for a few days. How can you be willing to transfer money to the other party?

Today, I will analyze why people always fall into the trap of killing pigs by online dating, and what love psychology knowledge and emotional routines it uses.

I believe many people don't know much about this fraud model, so let's take a look at what the pig trap is.

Simply put, killing pig dishes is a kind of "ecstasy" love scam that collects money crazily through the Internet. Internet and ecstasy-like love are its main means, and collecting money is its ultimate goal.

The "pig" in the pig-killing plate usually refers to a person with little emotional experience, shallow social experience, much money and loneliness without love. "Killing pigs" means that fraudsters first find out the situation of the target group, and then let the target group have a good impression and trust on him through skills and routines, and finally realize the operation of collecting money and defrauding money.

Moreover, most scammers are a team, and each module has a special person in charge, which invades the private lives of the target people and achieves the purpose of collecting money.

Now that I know what "killing pig dishes" is, I will analyze how it uses psychology to deceive people from the three steps that killing pig dishes usually have:

1.？ Looking for pigs

The target of fraudsters is often those who have more money, less emotional experience, long for love and are lonely inside.

They usually target the target group through social networks, big data or friends circle, and find out the personality characteristics and personal conditions of the target group, such as lack of love, loneliness, introversion, inferiority, exclusion in the real world, and pinning their feelings on the online world. And then set the target population in a targeted manner.

This step is mainly handled by the fraudster's "data group", which usually has a huge database and information source, and its control over personal information is unimaginable.

2.？ "Raising pigs"

This step is mainly to cultivate feelings and build trust, which is the responsibility of the liar "speech group". They know all kinds of emotional routines and find out the emotional psychology of men and women.

They will create high-quality people who like to be close to the target group, such as graduates from famous universities, experienced architects, well-paid programmers, young artists, rich second generation and so on. They will leave the impression of "rich, handsome, excellent, enterprising, knowing how to love and care for others" to the target group, thus gaining the trust of the target group.

It can be said that these scammers are "emotional masters", know the emotional needs of the target group, know how to make the target group fall in love with themselves, and take the initiative to walk into the charming love trap they weave.

3.？ "Kill pigs"

After gaining the trust of the target, the fraudster's next step is to use emotion to cheat money. At this time, the "money laundering group" officially appeared, and they would make the target pay through various routines that sounded reasonable and exciting.

For example, he will say that his company's capital turnover is difficult and he needs money urgently, so that you can become a shareholder and run the company with him; Or something has happened to his family, and he needs money, so he will be busy for the time being and can't accompany you. I suggest you lend him money to tide over the difficulties. Or he was forced by his parents to go on a blind date, or he stopped his card, asked you for help, encouraged you to give him money and so on.

These reasons will arouse your love for him, your reluctance, your own desire, and you can't help but transfer money to him in order to help him, to be with him, or to prove your love for him.

It is in this reasonable routine again and again that you are cheated by him again and again until you find a clue to stop the transfer, and then the fraudster may have escaped.

The above three steps are common routines for killing pig dishes. In this kind of scam, the most terrible thing is the "love ecstasy". It will use people's emotional psychology, such as habitual dependence, insecurity, love for the brain, loneliness, desire to be loved, etc., to create a perfect partner for the target group, make them feel that they have met the true love of life, and then guide them to pay and cheat money step by step.

Therefore, it is a wise choice to keep a clear head, not trust online settings, identify guiding behaviors, not transfer money easily, and call the police when necessary.

In short, online dating is risky. Chatting requires caution, constant vigilance, and always holding your wallet.

Love is beautiful, I hope all of us will not be deceived by love.
