How to read this record

Each of these five URLs has the same own full title and description: a New York attorney-general warning about pig-butchering romance scams and a claimed billions-wide scheme. The amount is an unverified aggregate without currency, period or case denominator; it is not five independent losses or proven all-Romance incidence. The typo Letitia Jams remains the saved spelling. No investment details are borrowed from fuller warning articles.

Evidence basis: saved title description

Places in the available evidence

Basis: place_mapping

Reason: Contextually reviewed geographic role with exact source evidence. Nationality, language and URL suffix do not establish location.

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.

Research provenance

1 saved revision. Corrections preserve earlier versions.

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.
