- 1Wrong Number / Pig Butchering1 reportA friendly "sorry, wrong number" message from a stranger who keeps the chat going, builds trust over weeks, and eventually steers you toward a fraudulent crypto or trading platform. The long grooming phase before any money is mentioned is the tell — worth reporting even at the friendly stage.
A calling code isn't proof of who's texting
This page groups reports by the reported number's country calling code, not by any claim about who is actually behind the number. Scammers routinely use spoofed caller IDs, virtual/VoIP numbers, and numbers rented or resold across borders, so a United States calling code doesn't mean the operator is physically in United States -- only that the number was issued to look that way. Treat the country here as one data point alongside the scam type, the reported notes, and any evidence attached, not as a verdict about a place or its people.

Frequently asked questions
How is a country determined for a number?
Automatically, from the number's country calling code — not self-declared by the reporter.
Can a scammer fake being from this country?
Yes — a real or spoofed/virtual number can display a calling code without the person actually being there. Treat country as a data point, not proof of origin.
How often is this page updated?
Immediately — every count here reflects the reports on file in real time, not a periodic snapshot.
