Current coding qualifications: mechanism.relationship: Own False Romeos16M headline/Richmond loneliness aggregate supports eligibility and attributed financial/context reporting. At this bounded thematic threshold it names false-romance framing but does not describe identity/affection/trust being used to facilitate the taking. Withhold the relationship-mechanism subtype; this does not require a detailed individual case and does not change the own aggregate, relative period or source history. Historical review note: Each own full title/description was actually read. Own aggregate loss, false romantic pretext and prior loneliness only. All other N cells mean not reported, not denied: no psychological consequence, relational/material/bodily/self-harm/homicide, facilitation/other offending/coercion/extortion/repeat approach, enforcement/justice/assets/assistance/misconduct, investment/digital method/network, blame or policy is supplied. Relative last year is not converted using publication/URL. Identical reports are not added or treated as independent corroborations.
Evidence basis: saved title description
Victim location: Canada
Unlisted locations remain unknown. Nationality, language and web address alone do not establish where a scam happened.
These attributed statements apply to their specified subjects and scope. They do not establish guilt, a whole-article denial, or an unstated outcome.
The base reviewed revision is preserved. Current source bindings and approved qualifications are attached for this release.
These labels describe the available reporting. “Not reported” does not mean a harm did not happen. A theme's stage applies to that statement, not every claim in the article.
Own aggregate $16M headline only; no currency ISO, unique-victim total, individual allocation or addition across syndicated URLs. Last year remains relative.
Source describes loneliness as targeted prior circumstance, not post-scam psychological injury or a diagnosis.

No direct connection is recorded. This does not establish that the story is unique.
