Didn't fall for it, but I got hit with an attempt at a pig butchering scam a week or so ago.

It was fun. They texted, I acted like I knew them, and I think that they eventually got frustrated because I kept agreeing that I remembered them very well, and that it wasn't a 'wrong number', oopsie I sent a photo to the wrong person tee-hee.
