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

Amanda Holden confronts scammers who used her name and image in ‘romance fraud’ | BreakingNews

Named Holden/BBC Scam Interceptors publicity, identical syndicated programme paragraphs and source-specific attempted victim loss/housing pretext support a qualified media-work family across windows. Police notification, programme journalism and confrontation are not police investigation or ten independent cases. Same URL source revisions remain preserved; sparse descriptions do not borrow victim facts.

Research provenance
