May 13 at 13:05 comment added Ian I agree with Daniel. The tell-tale sign of pig butchering is the sad story on hospitalization from a person you've never even communicated with. The end game is fake crypto investment.
May 13 at 3:02 comment added Daniel R. Collins FWIW the current hot fraud is the pig butchering scam, creating any kind of relationship whatsoever over a long period of time, and indeed ending with, "I'd like to share this great crypto investment opportunity with my good friend". It's a rough guess... if they keep pinging you with more personal updates then that could be the direction.
