Draft:EWhoring
| Submission declined on 15 January 2024 by DoubleGrazing (talk). Neologisms are not considered suitable for Wikipedia unless they receive substantial use and press coverage; this requires strong evidence in independent, reliable, published sources. Links to sites specifically intended to promote the neologism itself do not establish its notability.

Comment: Two of the three sources cited are by the same authors. I think we need to see wider coverage of this, to properly demonstrate notability. DoubleGrazing (talk) 08:28, 15 January 2024 (UTC)
eWhoring, or e-whoring, is a type of online fraud where criminals will pose as partners, typically women, for virtual sexual encounters, asking for money in exchange for pictures, videos, and sexually explicit conversations.[1]. Packs of images and videos are sold on underground forums so that offenders can continuously imitate the same person for extended periods of time[1][2]. These images are usually stolen from pornographic sites, social media, or revenge porn sites where disgruntled partners typically post compromising photos that were previously shared consensually[1][2]. Image packs typically sell for between US $5 and $50 and the currency used in most exchanges are either Amazon or PayPal gift cards[2][3]
