As part of National Consumer Protection Week, Michigan Attorney General Dana Nessel is reissuing her consumer alert on Pig Butchering, a sophisticated scam that combines a romance scam with an investment spin. 

“Consumers must always remain vigilant and alert for scams, especially as financial products like bitcoin and other cryptocurrencies become popular. Just as with any major financial decision, consumers should research the investments they are considering, avoid people or entities demanding upfront payment in cryptocurrency, be wary of promises of large, quick returns, and refrain from mixing online dating with any investment advice.” – AG Nessel
