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

Current coding qualifications: mechanism.relationship: The NBC own warning says scammers build trust over weeks or months, then clips. This supports the authored general trust mechanism but not a subsequent demand/loss or precise duration. Preserve mixed investment/Romance scope and NA warning stage. Historical review note: Ending is clipped after duration; no subsequent investment demand or money loss supplied, so financial and relationship-to-investment sequence insufficient. No online/crypto/AI function from another URL, current case, country, calendar year, multiple-case count or precise duration.

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.
