The Idaho Department of Finance (IDOF) is warning consumers against “Pig Butchering” scams that have recently targeted Idahoans. Pig butchering scams are unique because they are long-term schemes that combine elements of investment scams, romance/friendship scams, and cryptocurrency transactions to steal all the money an individual possesses or can access (i.e., persuading individuals to take out loans in addition to sending money from their bank accounts).

The Idaho Department of Finance (IDOF) is excited to announce its support of the upcoming “Savvy Women and Money Conference” on Friday, February 16th, from 8:30 a.m. to 5:30 p.m. at the Boise Centre.
