Pig Butchering (CIRO Cycle 11 (2026-27): 2.5 CM/PD, 26-0018CP)
Online Investor Fraud (Our Podcast)
Course Summary
Pig Butchering scams—also called Romance Scams or Investor Scams—represent the newest wave of investor fraud. You might think you're too smart to fall victim, or that your sophisticated clients would never be susceptible to such schemes. After all, these scams only target people who are uneducated, lack tech savvy, or have limited financial resources, right? Wrong.
In this podcast-style course, our narrator Meg guides you through the anatomy of a Pig Butchering scam. Along the way, we'll explore the largest case in US history—a staggering $47 million fraud—with insights from John Oliver. You'll learn how to protect both your clients and Canadian investors from these increasingly sophisticated schemes. The best defense against Pig Butchering scams is understanding how they work. Let us show you how.
