Search the research collection
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.
Wanted to help him is the targeted person’s motivation, not receipt of legitimate assistance. No police action inferred from URL path, no clinical harm or calendar year.
Reported caseOwn Katagami/Akita60s male report: approximately157manJPY cash lost in Romance fraud after an invitation to set up a web shop. Web-shop pretext does not by itself supply investment returns, actual platform communication, crypto, relationship fabrication details or multiple offenders.
Reported caseOwn Malay title alleges a victim defrauded ofRM12000 and local male detained. Description says lastWednesday and aroundthree yearsago, not a calendar2021 or2024 event date. Local/currency/publisher/name do not supply a country role. No conviction, further victims, recovery or own detailed false-intimacy mechanism supplied.
Reported caseOwn police warning explicitly describes Romance scams with fakeidentity and possible blackmail. General risk/warning only, not an actual blackmail victim or independently established global prevalence. StVincent andtheGrenadines is explicit reported geographical scope; no offender-operation base, nationality-derived target country or individual event year inferred.
Prevention & supportOwn Brandenburg commentary explicitly describes scammers fakinggreatlove and says damage extends beyondtargets. Schaden/fatal do not specify money, psychology, relationships or physicaldeath; retain broad claimed harm without manufacturing those subtypes or a newdeath. Verstärkt/derzeit are attributed trend/relative-time claims.
CommentaryThe clipping contains no event calendar year, payment dates, named offender, arrest, recovery or specific investment returns. Day22 is retained without conversion from publication. Neither age nor occupation is treated as proof of prior vulnerability. No country is inferred solely from Japanese language, regional place or yen.
Reported caseOwn text distinguishes general SNS-romance definition, individual cash loss and title investment approach. No explicit calendar year, arrest, charge or repayment.
Reported caseMother’s loss, son’s later discovery and father’s earlier death remain separate subjects/time layers. No event-year or UK location inferred from sterling.
Reported caseNo country from Polish language/domain, no cyberattack crime count, no transfer of account misuse or investment mechanism onto a particular romance case.
Prevention & supportKeep apparent/suspected status, approximate sum and unanchored duration. Explicitly withhold cause of death, clinical harm, nationality, recovery and incident-year expansion.
Reported caseThe 12% headline concerns annual case growth. The own description lists romance, purchase and investment scams together. It supplies no loss amount, individual payment or relationship-to-investment mechanism. Financial harm and both mechanisms are insufficiently detailed here; no romance-only allocation, victim count or causal rate is derived.
Research & trendsKeep more than ４億５０００万円 as provisional combined loss, and the separate previous-year ２億２９０２万円 comparator. January–May20 and previous year are relative/partial periods: no incident calendar year is inferred from publication. Fukushima is a stated regional place; national location is not supplied separately. Romance and investment labels do not describe their relationship mechanism.
Research & trendsThe request 金の受取人になってほしい is preserved literally as a proposed gold/money-recipient pretext. It does not establish receiving or laundering other victims’ funds; facilitation remains insufficient. The romance label plus reported financial loss does not explain fabricated affection or identity. No year is assigned to day21, nor country from language, region or yen.
Reported caseJune is an unanchored month, not an event year. Romance and purchase reaching new highs gives no specific money amount or relationship mechanism. No actual ticket-scam victim, incidence allocation, platform fault, policy adoption or resulting awareness is inferred.
Related mentionThe alleged NT$100,000 monthly salary is a recruitment promise, not earned wages, victim loss or offender proceeds. 送辦 establishes referral, not a charge or conviction; justice detail remains insufficient. Romance/fake-investment are listed methods without an intimate investment approach. Telecom-fraud wording gives no platform-specific technology. Political protection/name associations are not proof of institutional misconduct or guilt of every person mentioned.
Reported caseBoth own metadata variants were read and retain different saved metadata dates but identical title/description. The2023 URL path and2024 metadata dates are not crime years. The description is clipped after an increase; no missing comparison is filled. Dating label/venue alone supplies no mechanism or specific digital method.
Prevention & supportOwn Tagalog text is preserved despite metadata language en. It ends at isang Pinay; no unseen partner, arrival, parcel or money transfer is filled in. Online-love label plus agency-name money warning does not detail a fabricated intimate approach. No real-agency misconduct, investigation, identity document, completed loss or event year is inferred. Root review: generic financial intent in the public warning is not a reported individual attempted payment. The Philippines dateline is contextual only, excluded from core country roles.
Prevention & supportGeneric explanation of financial exploitation through feigned love. Condemnation of scammers’ tricks is not blame of harmed people; no clinical, national, or individual-loss expansion.
CommentaryCrypto-company topic does not imply a crypto transfer or AI use in a victim case; broad online-fraud prevention coalition retained without national scope.
Prevention & supportMixed anti-fraud policy roundup. Separate postal/LINE scam details and ministerial questioning do not establish romance-specific technology, legal outcomes or operation countries.
Related mentionPurchase-scam record amount in title has no numeric value and is not romance loss. Mixed monetary-cases statement is retained without incident/awareness inference.
Research & trendsSeparate money-loss trend from case-frequency trend: overall loss fell while purchase/romance scams rose. Taylor Swift/Olympics tickets do not establish celebrity impersonation, romance harm magnitude, or verified incidents. Root review retains this application only as explicitly mixed/all-fraud financial context. It is not a romance-loss finding, direction of romance financial harm, quantity, case count or personal-loss occurrence. The own source contrasts all-fraud money loss with purchase/romance case-frequency trends; keep those separate.
Research & trendsOwn UK Finance/trade-association report combines purchase scams and Romance fraud in increased case counts. No amount or separate Romance denominator. The title2023 and descriptionlastyear are reporting-period language, not individual event dates or verified incidence.
Research & trendsOwn I4C/MHA-attributed mixed cybercrime report: headline6L complaints and overRs7000Cr swipedthisyear, covering investment/stockmarket/digitalarrest/fakegaming/Romance scams. Keep original units/threshold/reportperiod and mixed denominator; not allRomance or uniqueverified incidents/people. Body explicitly says targetingIndia and originSoutheastAsia; no individual source-country allocation.
Related mentionOwn Italian caregiver narrative in courtroom: alleged23000EUR taken after marriagepromise, Romancefraud viaFacebook. Victimcourtappearance/testimony is distinct from allegedoffender charge, trial disposition, conviction or final guilt. Rubato describes the same claimed loss; no separate employer/theft act from caregiveroccupation.
