Depuis plusieurs années la fraude sentimentale se développe sur les réseaux sociaux et frappe les internautes à la recherche de l'amour. Les «arnacoeurs» opèrent généralement depuis des localisations lointaines pour compliquer la recherche et la sanction des fraudeurs. Généralement situés en Afrique [du] Nord ou de l'Ouest, de véritables réseaux d'escrocs séduisent des Européens, des Canadiens ou des Américains et par un jeu de manipulation insidieux, leur extorquent des sommes colossales. 4, record 3, French, - arnac%26oelig%3Bur

Les siluriformes forment un ordre regroupant les poissons-chats et les silures, il compte environ le quart des espèces de poissons d'eau douce. Ils sont nommés poissons-chats en référence à leurs barbillons, qui ressemblent aux moustaches d'un chat. Malgré leur nom commun, tous les poissons-chats ne sont pas pourvus de barbillons, les caractéristiques qui classent un poisson dans l'ordre des siluriformes sont, en fait, certaines caractéristiques du crâne et de la vessie natatoire. 2, record 4, French, - poisson%2Dchat
