Abstract

With the development of internet technology, there have been many positive impacts for users, but also significant negative impacts. One such negative impact is online fraud through social media, specifically the "pig butchering scam." This scam has become rampant in Indonesia in recent years, relying on social media to operate. Perpetrators use fake accounts and identities to offer fraudulent investments or freelance work, promising large initial profits. This study aims to understand the mode of pig butchering scam, identify its characteristics, and examine legal actions against it from both criminal law and Islamic criminal law perspectives. Using a normative juridical research method and a case approach, data were collected through library research from various literature discussing the pig butchering scam. The study found that these scams fall under the category of criminal acts of fraud as regulated in Article 378 of the Criminal Code. The results conclude that pig butchering scams via social media are criminal acts that can harm victims both materially and immaterially. Preventative actions are necessary, such as increasing public knowledge about investment and enhancing supervision of social media investment forms.
