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 Bit2Me claim covers romance and other fraud: claimed3.1m euros avoided across2023/2024-to-date, not paid personal/Romance-only loss, refund or verified effect.
Prevention & supportOwn mixed digital-fraud report says one in three over65s experienced at least one digital offence and describes digital-divide vulnerability. This denominator is not all Romance and not independently verified incidence. Romance occurs in the headline; the clipped measures clause supplies no completed prevention action, individual paid loss or mechanism.
Research & trendsOwn Romance-scam victim separately defrauded friends of more than130,000GBP by pretending to invent a Formula1 engine part. That amount is the friends loss, not his own Romance payment. The invented-product claim supports separate fraud, not technical document/identity crime; neither engine existence nor guilt/sentence detail is inferred from the URL. The evil-twin title fragment supplies no clinical diagnosis.
Reported caseOwn sparse Ibaraki/Sakuragawa20万円 Romance-loss title only; no age, method/platform, actor identity, event year, investigation or refund borrowed.
Reported caseOwn FTC/crypto warning is advice to consumers; no actual loss, report use, measured rise, proven investment route or country from FTC acronym.
Prevention & supportOwn teacher headline reports400萬元 withdrawal and false renovation explanation; paid loss/interception/police enforcement remain unestablished from clipped patrol text.
Reported caseOwn proposed June12 information day addresses elder mistreatment and mixed grandparent/PIN/Romance fraud. Information and tools are promised, not demonstrated prevention or counted victims. No calendar year is supplied for the day; PIN theft is not allocated to Romance. Explicit senior targeting is a general source claim.
Prevention & supportOwn New York Attorney General consumer alert warns New Yorkers of online Romance scams using trust before taking money. This is general warning content, not a counted individual paid loss, diagnosis, measured increase or prevention effect. Pig-butchering terminology is source language and does not prove a specific case or crypto transfer.
Prevention & supportTaoyuan is own victim residence. Crypto purchase is not itself an investment promise or completed crypto transfer. Do not turn a hypothetical account-use warning into actual legal guilt.
Reported caseLugo is the own scoped reported population. The heart metaphor is not clinical harm, the annual series is not an event-year assertion, and no arrest, charge or recovery is supplied.
Research & trendsWoman/family explain the reported suspected scam as a misunderstanding. Reported family worry, contact interruption and apartment sale offer do not establish a completed fraud loss; source is clipped.
Reported caseOwn federal-grand-jury report names Richard Opoku Agyemang,40, and an alleged romance-fraud conspiracy involving more than$2million in losses to dozens. This is an aggregate alleged scheme and an indictment, not conviction, sentence, personal proceeds, measured incidence or an allocation to each person. Cincinnati is the accused residence and is not converted into an operation or jurisdiction country; no false-persona particulars or calendar-year event date are supplied.
Reported caseReported655万円 loss following invest-for-shared-home pretext. No actual home purchase/housing harm, refund, arrest or calendar year supplied.
Reported caseOwn New York warning claims some romance-scam victims lose up to$1million and describes romance-based investment schemes. The upper amount is not a total, mean, identified individual loss or independently verified incidence measure; no currency ISO is supplied. No fuller alert, technical platform, actor identity, clinical effect, restitution or event year is imported.
Prevention & supportConsumer alert reported, not measured prevention success or policy enactment. Same exact text across three URLs is not three incidents; pig-butchering/fattening-up wording neutrally describes a trust-building technique, without expressed fault, ridicule or moral judgment on harmed people.
Prevention & supportOwn Thai warning describes fake profile images on dating/social websites, relationship-building and trust before a deceptive request. The saved description clips at song-e; the missing completion is not reconstructed as an amount or completed payment. No investment, actual AI/deepfake creation, sexual harm, individual case, event year or prevention effect is supplied.
Prevention & supportOwn report concerns Luo, a falsely claimed million-follower influencer and marriage/dating fraud. The title alleges more than120000yuan; the description explicitly reports a Hongqiao court fraud conviction, three years eight months imprisonment and an RMB30000 fine. The fine is not victim compensation or actual refund, and is not added to the alleged loss. No served term, finality, explicit event year or genuine influencer identity is inferred.
Reported caseOwn named defendant is distinct from unspecified fraud targets. New Haven identifies the man, not fraud-operation or arrest location. No specific crypto-transfer mechanism, event year or proven personal loss is supplied.
Reported caseConsumer alert reported, not measured prevention success or policy enactment. Same exact text across three URLs is not three incidents; pig-butchering/fattening-up wording neutrally describes a trust-building technique, without expressed fault, ridicule or moral judgment on harmed people.
Prevention & supportOwn commentary says AI is causing problems especially related to romance scams and other fraud. Keep that mixed scope and general asserted technological role; no allocation of all fraud to romance, technically proven synthetic media, five measured interventions, individual loss, diagnosis or case dates is justified.
CommentaryEach of these five URLs has the same own full title and description: a New York attorney-general warning about pig-butchering romance scams and a claimed billions-wide scheme. The amount is an unverified aggregate without currency, period or case denominator; it is not five independent losses or proven all-Romance incidence. The typo Letitia Jams remains the saved spelling. No investment details are borrowed from fuller warning articles.
Prevention & supportOwn named man and sentence are supported in this URL; US is the legal setting in the title. Nigerian is nationality, not operation geography. No event year is supplied.
Reported caseNiigata is a stated reporting extent. Police/company meeting location is not an operation location; June6 has no explicit calendar year and no individual enforcement action is supplied.
Prevention & supportThe office is an explicit New York legal authority. Neutral explanation of fattening terminology supplies no target-directed blame, ridicule or stigma; no event year, individual procedure or operation location is claimed.
Prevention & supportOwn Telugu report describes dating-app introductions followed by a HiTech City pub visit, a bill ofRs40000 within an hour, women disappearing and pub staff pressuring men to pay; eight harmed people are reported. This is a stated dating-bill financial trap and demand, not proof that each bill was paid, sexual force, explicit blackmail, one organized gang or eight independently verified cases. Tinder, Bumble and WhatsApp are communication channels, not proven culpable platforms. The Telangana dateline alone is not converted into an operation-country role; no event year is supplied.
