How to read this record
2025 NPA white paper discusses social-media investment/romance fraud and other crime infrastructure. General official-report context, not an individual gang, measured romance prevalence or one new case per syndication. AI dark-job patrol relates another crime type, not established romance AI deployment. Explicit officialwhitepaper/aggregate statisticalcontext manually assessed; fewer textual figures remain unknown. Mixed population/scam denominators distinct, tag not automatic from media/feature category. AI-specific uncertainty is a technology subtype qualification, not a nonexistent separate code state.
Places in the available evidence
Investigation or court: Japan
Unlisted locations remain unknown. Nationality, language and web address alone do not establish where a scam happened.
