Find reporting by topic, place or language. Open a record to see why it was included and what the available evidence supports.
The chart uses every search filter above and all matching records, across every results page. The percentage denominator is all included URLs in the same dates, before theme, language, country or text filters.
Distinct included URLs matching these filters in each observation month. Select a point to explore its records. On small screens, scroll the chart horizontally.
A URL counts once per month and can appear in several months or themes. Themes describe the current record assessment; months show URL observations, not when events or each claim first appeared. Warnings, allegations and reported experiences are all included when coded. Partial months, collection gaps and changes in sources affect both measures. A higher share does not establish a higher risk to victims.

Own German advice says dating-app users encounter scammers and promises prevention guidance. Warning and dating-app communication are present; experienced loss, described false intimacy, actual service use and preventive effectiveness are not. No particular incident, country role or calendar event date is inferred.
Prevention & supportOwn attributed account says a43-year-old man was trapped in a Myanmar Laga compound, used group-assigned fake social accounts for romance fraud, and sought escape/help from netizens. Confinement is an attributed participant-victimization claim; group allocation supports organization and platform use. It does not prove every worker was forced, a particular false romantic exchange, target money loss, completed rescue, torture or innocence. ThisyearMay5 has no explicit calendar year; Bangkok/Singapore travel and Chinese ethnicity do not create operation or nationality facts.
Reported caseOwn headline alleges dating-app scams explicitly targeting young professionals in Andheri West. This supports platform use and the source's targeting claim, not a general vulnerability diagnosis. Own description says Hema Chowdhary denied allegations; that subject-specific denial does not negate an entire code or establish guilt. No bill, amount, fabricated affection, gang, force, arrest or refund is borrowed from fuller Mumbai stories.
Reported caseThe own Yurihonjo report describes a woman in her fifties losing JPY160,000 in electronic-money usage rights in a romance scam. Electronic-money use supports only an unspecified technical payment facilitation, not crypto transfer, account misuse or a named messaging platform. The overseas man’s stated wish to visit Japan is a persona/pretext, not actual offender location, travel, nationality or an event year. No arrest, refund or clinical harm is stated.
Reported caseOwn description reports Inegbedion’s arrest and an alleged accomplice in mixed romance/BEC schemes; BEC is a separate alleged offending/digital mechanism, not employer theft by a romance target. No own payment/loss or detailed romantic persona is supplied. Preserve Blord lead/headline mixing rather than identify everyone as one person, and at-large Igbe is not arrested/convicted. All applications are mixed-scheme; no charged stage is borrowed from another URL.
Reported caseOwn Wu account: in-game dating/possible-relationship promise leads to1500元 paid, then repeated verification/error pretexts and over百萬元 paid without meeting. Keep source-reported payments and repeated requests, false relationship, digital communication and source-alleged group targeting romance-seeking singles. Investment-app advice is a separate general warning, not Wu’s investment route. More-than500halfyearcases are a distinct report statistic, not500newindividualcases or a filled eventyear. Dating offers are not sexual violence, awareness advice not measured effect, 宅男 not enough explicit victim-blame judgment.
Reported caseOwn romance-wallet title and broader crypto approval-phishing description have different scopes. Reported2.5billion-dollar/2.470billion-euro alternative loss expressions concern broad crypto theft over a relative three-year period; retain mixed-scheme financial scope, not individual/all-romance/Spain-only verified totals. Malicious blockchain transaction approvals support alleged account/permission misuse. No investment promise, particular romance persona, enforcement action, refund or calendar eventyears are supplied.
CommentaryOwn Money Cents webinar/red-flags headline is a mixed-fraud public warning; the description includes romance scams among fraud and scams. Generic technology and the unsupported top-of-list/increasing claim supply no specific technical method, denominator, individual financial act or relationship mechanism. No webinar viewing, participant count or prevention effect is assumed.
Prevention & supportOwn society-path Wu copy independently contains1500元 then over百萬元 paid under repeated dating-site verification/error requests. Keep its exact source scope: romance-seeking singles/group allegation, false dating promise and game/website communications. General investment warning and500-plus half-year statistic do not supply Wu’s actual investment method, additional losses, unique incidence or eventyear. No physical sexual harm, clinical cause, refund or explicit target-blame finding.
Reported caseMilitary-boyfriend online-romance deception is explicit. A source labels MsZhang a telecom-fraud accomplice but gives no moneyhandling/otheract details: financial loss, facilitation, otheroffending and coercion remain insufficient. Online relationship communication is supported; no emotional diagnosis, innocence/force, arrest, amount, nationality or year is supplied.
Reported caseThe own Hakata report states about JPY10.27 million in cash loss and an SNS romance-investment context; the headline quotes an offer to trade crypto assets for future savings. Crypto is the offered investment, not proof that the actual transfer was cryptocurrency, physical cash handover, account misuse or technical exploitation. The sparse copy does not describe fabricated mutual affection, an event year, arrests, refund or measured vulnerability.
Reported caseThis own title links dating-app meetings with bills in thousands; the description says victims recounted stories to a journalist. Code attempted financial extraction/bill exposure, dating-app facilitation and public disclosure. The copy does not itself say that bills were paid, describe the particular deception or identify one network; no drinks, washroom departure, venue, police action, sexual force or amount is borrowed from other Mumbai copies.
Reported caseOwn source says the woman still wanted to transfer for love after a police reminder and was described as a laundering accomplice in online-romance pig-butchering. Transfer is attempted/intended rather than a proved completed personal loss; laundering is a source allegation. Warning is a specific police reminder, not measured prevention. No own participant victimizationclaim, force, arrest/charge or separate offending act is established; insistent-transfer wording alone is not victim blame.
Reported caseThe own dating-app context describes women and men befriending, expensive food/drinks and departure on a washroom pretext. This supports alleged date-trust manipulation, app communication and attempted financial extraction/bill exposure; it does not explicitly establish a completed paid amount. Plural participants describe a pattern, not one proven city-wide gang, a quantified set of independent cases, sexual coercion or arrests. Mumbai is the reported setting, not a persona country.
Reported caseOwn description attributes to the district attorney more than$100,000 defrauded from a78-year-old Wichita woman and reports a New York man's sentencing in Sedgwick County District Court. This establishes the reported sentence stage, not a served term, restitution, detailed mechanism or offender name. Friday is yearless. New York residence is not jurisdiction or an operation role; age alone is not a vulnerability finding.
Reported caseOwn Higashihiroshima male40s title reports1072万円 SNS-romance-scam loss; own description defines inducing affection for money through SNS. Retain that reported mechanism/communication and own target profile, without persona/payment route, additional amounts, arrest/investigation from mere police attribution, diagnosis/refund, or year from19th/URL.
Reported caseEach of the14 own variants has the same Brant County dating-app conversation and$34,500 loss. Police-blotter branding does not establish an investigation or arrest. Dating contact is insufficient for a fabricated/manipulated relationship mechanism, and no currency type, payment route, calendar event year or refund is supplied. Fourteen copies are not fourteen cases or corroborations.
Reported caseEach own description reports a Brant County resident losing$34,500 after a dating-app conversation. The roundup headline concerns a separate collision/intimate-partner-violence investigation and is not attached to this scam as physical harm or police action.

Reported caseThe own police copy reports an investigation/enforcement operation and 665 people assisting investigations:413 men and252 women aged15–79, associated with more than3,600 cases across friend impersonation,e-commerce,internet-love,investment and job scams. Suspected money-mule involvement supports unspecified financial facilitation, not a specifically proved laundering/account/courier route. These totals are mixed scams and suspects, not all romance targets, arrests, convictions, coordinated membership in one network or personal loss. The explicit July2024 interval dates the operation, not each financial act.
Reported caseThe own police quotation warns that gift cards are used to ask for money across romance, contractor,Microsoft-computer and other scams. This is a mixed-scheme general warning about requested extraction, not a demonstrated personal paid loss, romance-only total, particular victim, technical account misuse, network or measured prevention effect. No city/country, financial event year or fabricated relationship details are supplied.
