Matching coverage over time
Financial and property harm
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 source explicitly describes a false astronaut romance scam or general astronaut-romance warning involving an older Japanese target/oxygen emergency. Preserve source-specific currency conversions, rounded quantities,80s/older age, payment versus request and return-to-Earth/under-attack pretexts. Similar persona alone does not verify a shared case, actual space emergency, clinical vulnerability or causal harm; source labels remain attributed. Short descriptions do not inherit location/amount from fuller accounts. Financial application binds the description that actually states payment/loss, not a title lacking monetary evidence.
