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.

Plea reported;3m scheme value not automatically personal netloss;20years faced is exposure not imposed term, Nigerian nationality not operating country. Current source-specific layer: All24 codes assessed. Preserve completed guilty plea separately from arrest, charge, planned sentencing and maximum exposure. False identities/business/emergency pretexts and source-attributed ring are distinct from formal forged documents, financial-operator nationality, crypto or investment-return promises. Credit lines support disruption, but vehicle ownership/outcome not sufficiently specified to claim target property loss. Reporting shame not organizational failure.

Preserve both reported claim and denial, not a confirmed arrest, unspecified formal charge, guilt, verified Hajia network membership, innocent finding or filed lawsuit. Comparative denial within saved researcher summary is supported by its own explicit supplementary URL/access fingerprint and not represented as original-article text. Outside source is not a new GDELT observation. No newly inferred target loss, clinical/serious harm, money flow, operation country or exact procedural date.
