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

Almost 800, including 40 Filipinos, arrested over Nigerian crypto-romance scam - BusinessWorld Online

Own rare EFCC792/193foreigners599Nigerians/148Chinese40Filipinos andBigLeaf/Lagos constellations support the broader December2024operation already preserved as t126. Short compatiblecohort headlines remain limited; no singleindividualguilt, all-Romancetargets or actualcrypto-transfer.

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.
