    We usually hear from a survivor of a romance, or pig butchering scam, sprinkled with a sextortion case here and there because the human side of these stories connect with people’s emotions. However, talking to the experts is just as important. We’ve heard from FBI agents, financial investigators, advocates and a therapist.
