An expert in security is warning iPhone and Android users of a new scam known as ‘pig butchering’ that is doing the rounds.
The tactic sees criminals sending vague texts that simply say "Hey" or '"How's it going, James?", in the hopes that the recipient will reply saying they have the wrong number.
Once they get a response, the scammer will try to continue the conversation and build up a friendship to gain a sense of trust.
