How South-East Asia's 'pig butchering' scammers are using artificial intelligence technology
Since 2020, scores of predominantly Chinese-run call-centre style scam operations have sprung up across South-East Asia mostly in Cambodia, Myanmar and Laos.
Their trademark is "Sha Zhu Pan"or "pig butchering" scams in which victims are contacted through social media or text messages, befriended or seduced and then lured into fake investment schemes.
