The Kochi police summary combines SNS investment and Romance losses exceeding500millionJPY for this year's first six months, and over10million losses reported since May. Preserve both mixed scopes and relative periods; never allocate all to Romance or fill the year. SNS use supports broad digital facilitation; separate investment/romance categories do not describe a relationship-investment bridge. A warning/summary is not an investigation or measured prevention.
