Current ROOT qualifications: The child-in-distress example expressly concerns urgent money in this mixed online-scam warning. Code only a general-warning requested-money theme for that separate example, not a romance payment, completed loss, currency or amount. The phantom-boyfriend inheritance remains a separate unquantified pretext. Neither an investment/trading offer nor a relationship-to-return promise is reported in the own description. A supposed inheritance does not supply an investment mechanism; not reported is not an explicit denial. The generic warning supplies no actual person whose pre-existing bereavement, isolation, dependence or targeting circumstances are described. Source evaluative labels for credulity are framing, not proof of prior vulnerability; not reported is not denial. Historical original manual note (preserved; superseded only where the explicit ROOT qualifiers above apply): General mixed-scheme warning with explicit romantic fiction example. Preserve source evaluative framing incautos/crédulos separately from analysis; no victim fault endorsed. Prospective inheritance is neither a paid loss nor investment, and the son-branch demand does not supply the romantic branch financial details. No event country or year.
