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.
Contextual metadata coding; reported claims are not independently verified. Unassigned codes mean not reported in the available text, not absent in the event. Allegedly deceived package recipients are distinct from traffickers. Drug market value is not a financial loss; arrest does not establish guilt. Seizure/interception of drugs is not coded as recovery of victim assets.

Promotional-looking blog and template account: topical inclusion does not verify a separate victim, platform accusation or recovery claim.

Reported caseThe description explicitly explains romance-investment deception through a false successful-person persona, sustained chats and trust. General mechanism discussion in promotional-looking material; no distinct victim or actual loss verified.
Prevention & supportThe book-review title explicitly concerns a 70-year-old legal scholar and romance fraud. The description is generic site text; do not infer losses or mechanisms from the review title.
CommentaryA love-scam network was reportedly disrupted in raids at KLIA and Nilai. Russian and Chinese nationality is not operation or victim geography.
Reported caseThe report describes marriage-pressure/dowry fraud in China, with women taking dowries then leaving. This is relationship fraud; online initiation is not established. Loneliness is contextual, not a clinical diagnosis. Being left alone is an aftermath description, not evidence of pre-existing isolation.
Research & trendsThe named legal scholar describes a 9.25-million-yen romance/investment scam initiated on Facebook; a lawyer describes secret-sharing and emotional manipulation. This is retrospective coverage, not necessarily a new event.
Reported caseProsecutors report two dating/marriage-fraud cases ending in prison sentences and orders to repay proceeds. An order is not actual returned money; source metadata does not establish online initiation.
Reported casePolice report a man in Isesaki losing cryptocurrency worth 5.8 million yen through SNS romance fraud. Do not infer an investment pretext merely from the cryptocurrency loss.
