Connected reporting

Only direct reviewed connections are shown. Shared wording is weaker evidence than a supported case connection. A connection through a third article does not establish that two reports concern the same case.

Shared wording

How ‘pig butchering’ romance scams siphon millions every year

Seven California Romance millions/familydamage/retirementplans/suicide distinctive leads support same reporting work with earlier source versions. Source causal claim not clinical verification/unique deaths/housing loss; stronger current qualification preserved.

Research provenance

1 saved revision. Corrections preserve earlier versions.

A page can change after it first appears. Observation dates record when its URL was seen; they do not prove that the wording assessed here was present on every date.
