Related: Interpol urges to stop using "Pig Butchering":
> INTERPOL argues that the term ‘pig butchering’ dehumanizes and shames victims of such frauds, deterring people from coming forward to seek help and provide information to the authorities.
"Romance baiting" is proposed instead.

It's not always romance related, sometimes it's just a promise of massive crypto investment returns.
"Pig butchering" is more apt as the long con is like fattening up an animal before slaughter.
I agree, meanwhile sometimes words not only describes thinks but influence those using them.
Spending their time wisely I see.
If it increases the number of people coming forward then why not. It’s not that this is was the only thing Interpol was doing.
