Thanks for the explanation! Also, this is the first time I’ve heard the term “pig butchering scam”, and it’s definitely a wild one.

PS: I’m truly honored she found me on Day 3.

John Oliver did an episode of Last Week Tonight on pig butchering scams, it's worth a watch. Glad I could be of help and welcome to the Fediverse.

Jim Browning on YouTube recently had a video of one such compound of romance/pig butchering Scammers getting arrested at a very large scale.

I like and support that guy but I got tired of listening to him talk.
