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.
New online-love-scam headline describes specific deepfake method but no own payment, amount or detailed intimate-to-financial sequence. Facebook/phone tags alone supply no additional platform function. No country, year from metadata, organized hierarchy from label, number of cases, guilt or effectiveness inferred.
CommentaryDisappearance remains unexplained, not physical injury/death/suicide/causation. Leaving money/documents at home is not property theft. No technical-feature inference from profile alone, no further transfer/intervention pattern from two tranches, no date-year from March23/URL, no British persona as operation-country or borrowed identity facts.
Reported caseFrisky/Fakers concerns alleged scammers; no definite victim blame inferred. MTV/DrPhil show references are not case evidence or actual support.

Reported caseOwn UltimeNotizieFlash says Bonzi disappeared after romance fraud, asks whether Mizuno had the same experience/person and a link. These are questions, not established identity, union, common offender or new independent case. Counterpart reportedly uses the Sicilian’s tax code, but authorization/precise identity-fraud mechanism remain insufficient rather than a proved additional offence. Disappearance does not establish injury, suicide, homicide or fraud causation. No paid amount, country from Sicilian/localities/domain, calendar year or invented intimate step.
Reported caseOwn FukuokaNow says manipulated into transferring multiple times but not specific separate demands, changed pretexts, recovery fraud, investment rate or detailed affection-building. SNS-based is venue, not explicit messaging/AI capability. No Japan from Fukuoka/currency/domain, event year, vulnerability from forties, legal outcome or refund. Clipped ending not filled.
Reported caseOwn Univision title calls this amorous fraud; description says she believed he was a young man she once cared for. Do not rewrite that familiarity into an explicit lover/celebrity persona or assert sender made a specific identity claim. Age70/Hispanic are not vulnerability, country or loneliness proxies; prior caregiving is not dependence. No LosAngeles location from URL/outlet, eventyear, clinical harm, refund or repeated-request count.
Reported caseOwn radio-page title explicitly describes older Hispanic woman losing35,000 dollar-symbol units in Los Angeles through social contact/affection/money requests. Description gives remote trust and believed former childcare familiarity.

Reported caseOwn German explainer asserts increasing deepfake/face-swapping use for false identities in Romance scams. This is a general source claim, not an independently verified technical incident.
CommentarySparse own synopsis reports a two-phone face-swap tactic for Romance scams. Preserve explicit technical allegation without inventing the clipped sequence or individual harms.
Prevention & supportA woman reports online love fraud in Solothurn after sending several tens of thousands of francs. Own text explicitly describes months of online trust-building and a police warning.
Reported caseOwn short t3n source asserts Romance deepfake use. Fuller FinanzNachrichten source8 is separately bound; no money request/false-identity sentence imported here.
