- dmix 1y agoSpending their time wisely I see.
- barbazoo 1y agoIf it increases the number of people coming forward then why not. It’s not that this is was the only thing Interpol was doing.
- JTbane 1y agoIt'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.
- aziaziazi 1y agoI agree, meanwhile sometimes words not only describes thinks but influence those using them.
