Current coding qualifications: mechanism.relationship: Own False Romeos16M headline/Richmond loneliness aggregate supports eligibility and attributed financial/context reporting. At this bounded thematic threshold it names false-romance framing but does not describe identity/affection/trust being used to facilitate the taking. Withhold the relationship-mechanism subtype; this does not require a detailed individual case and does not change the own aggregate, relative period or source history.
Historical review note: Each own full title/description was actually read. Own aggregate loss, false romantic pretext and prior loneliness only. All other N cells mean not reported, not denied: no psychological consequence, relational/material/bodily/self-harm/homicide, facilitation/other offending/coercion/extortion/repeat approach, enforcement/justice/assets/assistance/misconduct, investment/digital method/network, blame or policy is supplied. Relative last year is not converted using publication/URL. Identical reports are not added or treated as independent corroborations.

Current coding qualifications: mechanism.relationship: After a specific reported loss, the Japanese police text switches to a general definition: pretending to be foreign and inducing romantic feelings. The selected excerpt belongs to that general definition, so do not transfer it into the particular investment sequence, actual nationality or an unclear case stage.
Historical review note: Investment pretext and general affection definition do not supply the own case relationship-to-investment sequence. No investigation from announcement alone, actual foreign nationality/gender, age vulnerability, Japan from Akita/outlet, calendar year from27th/publication, or extra case from never meeting.

Historical review note: False Romeos is a headline label, not a complete fabricated-intimacy mechanism. Significant rise lacks a denominator/comparable series.

Current coding qualifications: harm.financial: The 98Q own description makes a general claim of substantial losses in mixed schemes; it names no particular loss, paid amount or transfer form. Keep its authored subtype/causal dimension under ROOT review and existing limits; completed is not an occurrence stage for this warning. mechanism.relationship: The own generic explanation says romantic interests OR trusted associates. Preserve both alternatives, no universal romantic mechanism and no particular completed/unclear victim event. mechanism.investment: The own trust -> investment schemes -> lucrative-return promise is an explicit general mechanism sequence. It does not establish a particular request/payment or realized return. Preserve that source statement as a warning with NA stage. mechanism.technology: The own warning specifically names social media, dating apps and professional networks for befriending. Preserve communication versus cryptocurrency investment context, without inferring crypto transfer or individual occurrence stage.
Historical review note: Own complete sequence supports relationship/investment/platform applications with mixed scope. Trailing Des... not completed. No actual crypto payment, realized returns, case count, US from Connecticut/outlet or calendar year; no causal validation beyond source generalization.

It does not describe a relationship introducing investment/returns; fuller other-URL material is not imported.

Keep warning/general scope with no occurrence stage. mechanism.relationship: The own ruse has investment opportunity OR romantic-interest alternatives. Retain the authored romantic ruse interpretation only as this general mixed warning; it does not show a particular fabricated relationship or relationship-to-investment sequence.
Historical review note: Financial I: no explicit paid/requested amount or actual loss in own warning. Investment I: investment opportunity OR romantic ruse does not prove relationship-to-investment bridge. Technology I: involving cryptocurrency lacks transfer/communication role.
