BBBmostcostly2024Romance claim. UndefinedrankingdenominatornotUSoverallFBIclassification/measuredallpopulationlosses; ownshortbodypreventionnotquantifiedpersonalpaidamount. Current qualification: Own headline most-costly-US2024 wording retained as source claim. Separate original BBB2024 ScamTracker release identifies Romance/friendship No3risk and highest median6099 versus investment/crypto No1risk/5000median; not national overall total or incidence. Mental-health survey is all scams, not every Romance target. Current statistics interpretation remains denominator-qualified; no original FOX full body claimed, no measured readership/awareness or independent clinical effect.
No geographic role could be established from the available text.
Unlisted locations remain unknown. Nationality, language and web address alone do not establish where a scam happened.
