INTERPOL says we should rename pig butchering to romance baiting to avoid victim shaming
There are always lots of financial scams running online, and pig butchering is currently one of the most commonly used techniques for parting victims from their money.
But INTERPOL doesn’t like the term, saying it is shaming and puts people off reporting crime. The international crime-fighting agency believes that a shift to the rather fluffier sounding “romance baiting” is important.
