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.
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.
Two FTC exact-title reports with unequal caption lengths support common media work. Fullowncopy alone supplies1.9b/relativeyear/bank-and-crypto payment-method mixedfraud losses. No route/figure copied shortcaption; aggregates not allRomance or independent incidence. Own source limitations remain, no body borrowing or independently verified cases.
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.
