The Beijing News

One is on Apple tablets and the other is on Apple laptops.

Reuters reported the announcement, as did the Beijing News and a Chinese technology publication called IT Home.

The earlier registration in July covered iPhones.

If you've been following along on your phone, that's why today's news might sound familiar even though it concerns different devices.

Several victims of pig butchering say they locked themselves indoors and sank into a depressive state when confronted with the consequences of their actions.

After Zhang Yuna was scammed in 2018, she told Beijing News that she isolated herself and avoided her friends even when they threatened to call the police.

She explained that she was unwilling to talk to anyone and simply told her friends not to worry.

Sometimes, scammers will continue to harass their victims after they realize the jig is up in an attempt to pull them back in and steal more money.

While the rest of the world only learned about pig butchering in the past five to six years, this scam has been ongoing for over a decade in China and other parts of Asia.

According to Vice News, since 2011, there have been reports of Chinese and Taiwanese nationals conducting internet scams out of Cambodia.

Meanwhile, Detective Zhou Shen told Beijing News that pig butchering scams have existed since before 2016.

Initially, Chinese scammers hunted for potential victims on same-sex dating sites focusing on Chinese and Taiwanese marks.
