Matching coverage over time
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.

Documentary synopsis not verified event series. Drug dealers and pedophiles are separate cybercrime examples, not romance-linked offending/harm.

ROOT own-source qualification: generic internet setting and presence of love scammers do not describe a platform communication function used in the confidence approach. Hold technology without inventing messaging, accounts or AI; retain the explicit fabricated love, money-taking, mixed cybercrime barrier and bounded source wording about credulous women.
