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.

Each record represents a source web page, not a verified incident. Different URLs can describe the same event. About these records.
Own Stern excerpt reports authorities counted450 Internet Liebesbetrug cases in Bavaria in the previous year with5.3millionEUR damage. Preserve the regional aggregate/source denominator, generic Internet method and relative period, without converting previous year to a calendar year or assigning the total to one Rosenheim-Cops incident. Detailed deception, independent incidence and individual justice stages remain unspecified.
Research & trendsOwn Scotsman report says an offender posed as successful businessmen to target single women on dating sites; the headline labels him a rapist and says jailed for12years. Keep impersonation, platforms, explicit targeting characteristic and the source-associated sexual-offending label plus sentence. The sparse copy provides no amount, rape victim details, actual term served, independent diagnosis or clinical cause from trail-of-devastation rhetoric.
Reported caseThis NOZ URL independently has the clipped Internet Liebesbetrug synopsis. Generic online facilitation is supported, but amount, paid-loss mechanism, actor impersonation and justice details are insufficient in its own text. Neither the shared headline nor another full copy supplies missing source facts or an event year.
Reported caseOwn BR copy says actors are fraud victims and warn of modern marriage swindlers. This is an actual warning communication, without measured effect or programmes viewed. TV murders are fictional plots, not real homicide; sparse topical language supplies no own paid amount or detailed impersonation.
Prevention & supportAll nine actual URL records have their own identical explicit Internet-Liebesbetrug/authority-publicized-case wording. No money, impersonation detail, fabricated relationship or legal stage is supplied here; do not import fuller Rosenheim facts or count nine independent cases.
Reported caseEach of six own copies has the same explicit Internet-Liebesbetrug and publicized-case context. Retain only the supported online dimension while money and relationship mechanics remain insufficient. Copy count is not independent evidence or incidence; no person, geography or dates are added.
Reported caseOwn Altötting report describes a now49-year-old accountant deceived for ten years by an Internet lover and diversion of over300,000EUR employer money to ease his purported financial worries; the headline says nearly330,000EUR. Financial harm here is explicitly employer/third-party funds, not an independently measured personal loss. Employer theft is a separate reported act; no force, innocence, prosecution, renewed demand, psychiatric injury or calendar start year is inferred. Seeking a life partner is not proof of prior isolation.
Reported caseEach of six own copies has the same explicit Internet-Liebesbetrug and publicized-case context. Retain only the supported online dimension while money and relationship mechanics remain insufficient. Copy count is not independent evidence or incidence; no person, geography or dates are added.
Reported caseOwn Weser-Kurier clip ends after In dessen and supports only generic Internet Liebesbetrug context. Its precise extraction, actor impersonation, paid amount and legal stage remain insufficient. No other full Rosenheim copy fills this own missing context or supplies an incident year.
Reported caseOwn clipped GEA description gives Internet love fraud and authorities publicizing a case, with the rest omitted. No specific persona detail, paid amount, investigation, warning or date can be borrowed from fuller Rosenheim copies.
Reported caseThe own NHK text reports about200millionJPY loss after a woman met on an Internet board offers crypto investment. Loss route/asset and relationship fabrication are not described. The clipped police tail does not supply an enforcement stage or the fuller196million amount.
Reported caseThis own clipped lead explicitly says Internet Liebesbetrug and that authorities publicized a case, then ends atIn desse.... It supplies no payment, persona, specific relationship manipulation, police action or complete case centre; identical wording across URLs is not independent incidence.
Reported caseOwn Hennef senior-woman report explicitly says40,000EUR remitted to an unknown person and a complaint lodged. Online love-scamming label without a communication narrative is insufficient for a specific digital method or fabricated persona. No arrest, named perpetrator, refund, event year or age-vulnerability assumption is imported; identical texts on twoURLs remain source-bound.
Reported caseOwn Sendai/Taihaku report concerns a male civil servant in his40s, roughly24millionJPY, a person claiming to be a woman met through a matching app, crypto-trading solicitation and induced affection. Keep those own mechanisms; no crypto transfer, actual female identity/nationality, police investigation from attribution alone, refund or calendar incident year is stated.
Reported caseOwn advice concerns supporting a cousin in a possible Romance scam. It supports proposed emotional assistance, not actual service use or effectiveness. The boss-age headline concerns another advice question, not the cousin age, prior vulnerability or scam-caused work harm; no paid amount or actual family injury is supplied.
CommentaryOwn Fukuyama headline gives a40s woman/6.9millionJPY loss and description explicitly describes SNS closeness used to obtain money. This supports trust manipulation and digital communication, not an investment pitch, physical cash route, missing calendar year, arrest or clinical cause.
Reported caseOwn advice concerns supporting a cousin in a possible Romance scam. It supports proposed emotional assistance, not actual service use or effectiveness. The boss-age headline concerns another advice question, not the cousin age, prior vulnerability or scam-caused work harm; no paid amount or actual family injury is supplied.
CommentaryThe description attributes over64,000 reported Romance scams and $1.14billion to the FTC for2023. These are source-reported aggregate figures, with currency type unspecified, not this cousin individual paid loss, an event year, or independent incidence. The cousin love/never-met concern is not proof of a fabricated relationship, family injury or clinical distress; no additional facts migrate from other Asking Eric URLs.
Research & trendsOwn mixed-scam account says older people lose life savings to Romance and other fraud and rarely recover money. Reported mixed financial disruption is not billions allocated entirely to Romance, a specific paid refund, compensation order, provider misconduct or clinical risk. Americans is the source target population, not an offender nationality role; no individual event year is supplied.
Research & trendsOwn Nothando report says she was persuaded to resign as Gauteng school principal and hand her2.8millionR pension to Henry Mugisha; the headline reports13kg lost in two weeks after disappearance. Preserve financial loss and source-described work disruption. Weight loss lacks a specific injury/clinical causal basis, and a boyfriend label alone supplies no detailed fabricated courtship. Believed Ugandan origin is not an operation country or verified identity; no employer-fund theft or calendar year is supplied.

Reported caseOwn description reports consumers losing over a billion dollars to Romance scams in2023. This is an aggregate reporting period and unspecified dollar currency, not an individual event year or verified incidence. Clipped attribution cannot become FTC attribution; Effingham dateline is not a target-country role, and increasing sophistication is not technical AI proof.

CommentaryOwn copy alleges two women federally indicted for defrauding16elderly men of$7million. Currency type is unspecified and these are reported targets, not independently verified cases. Own2009 is a starting bound of alleged activity; this year supplies no end calendar year. Florida residence of accused women is not a target, operation or court-country assertion.
