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

Romance fraud doesn't only happen online—it can turn into real-world deception

Four rare matching online-to-realworld Romancefraud feature title/lead variants support bounded media-work association. Longer own bed/inperson/lovingphone passage and clipped manipulated-victims variants retain own limits; no particular common criminalcase/physicalsexualinjury/paidamount/clinicalcause or full-body completion.
