Matching coverage over time
Relationship-based deception
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.

Spanish report describes an older Japanese woman paying over 7,000 dollars after a supposed astronaut developed a special friendship and demanded money to return to Earth. Retain the attributed romance/persona/payment claim, not a verified astronaut, precise event year or identity with other million-yen oxygen stories. Nationality/population adjectives alone do not establish a separate geographic victim role; actual country location remains unknown in this individual short source.

Chinese account describes a married woman posing as a drug lord's daughter in an online romantic relationship with entrepreneur Xiaoma29, who reportedly spent RMB3.3-million over more than two years. Contact began in explicit2021. Persona, financial and relationship claims are alleged; the drug-lord persona is not evidence of actual trafficking, and the two-year duration is not a calculated exact act date. Only explicit2021contact/startyear is structured. The false drug-lord-daughter persona does not establish actual drugs, a real criminal relative or where the perpetrator operated. The exact numeric substring2021 in original2021年 supplies the already supported explicit year format; no month/day is inferred. Preserve the prior literal-format draft and complete original source. The complete original2021年 literal is retained with explicit year-only precision using the tested new adapter. Prior failed literal-format attempts and initial code are preserved; no missing month/day or source qualifier is filled.
