Included for relevance; source claims are not independently verified. This record is based on saved titles and descriptions unless a separate deeper-reading assessment is explicitly shown. Observation dates are not incident dates. An arrest or charge is not a conviction.
How to read this record
38% concerns totalcrime/fraud, not romance prevalence. England/Wales are own subnational geographic bounds, no unprinted UK mapping. FY21/22 retained as literal reporting period, not expanded to individual actyears. Technology accelerated generic fraud supplies no romance-specific function. Shell-company headline gives no concrete policy action/body before clipping; no enacted law, organization details or delivered programme.

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