Interpol urges dropping the term "pig butchering" in favor of "romance baiting" to describe long-con social-engineering investment/romance scams, emphasizing reduced victim shaming and improved reporting; the report highlights the scams’ financial and psychological harms, references FBI 2023 data showing substantial growth in investment fraud, and notes that timely sharing of indicators can help prevent further victimization.
