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

Florida Senior Loses $47,000 in AI-Powered Dating Scam

Exact Port Richey/USD47,000/older target/AI account and shared WTSP/THV publisher article identifier support qualified same account, including named David Cruz. Short station copies lack the name and retain it as separate context; source self-blame is quoted, not endorsed. Future housing/bankruptcy risk not completed harm, and synthetic-media claim not independently forensically checked.
