How much is a cheap smartphone in Ukraine

If you feel that your new girlfriend from Ukraine is trying to steal your money to buy a new smartphone, this article will be useful for you. Hope, it’s not too late.

“Honey, buy me a smartphone so we can chat and see each other”. This is one of the most popular scams on dating sites. The woman from Ukraine convinces you that you are very interesting to her, that she thinks about you every day and can’t wait to meet you. Communication usually takes place either on paid dating sites or in messengers (WhatsApp). You can’t see her face because she claims that she still has a very old and antediluvian mobile phone. But if you send her money, she will buy a smartphone with a camera and then you will finally be able for a video chat. Of course, this is a lie and the main goal is to get an extra few hundred dollars from you. And the very fact that you cannot see her face is a red flag… But that’s not what this is about.

Smartphones in Ukraine cost less than you thought

Some time ago we consulted a gentleman in a similar situation. He thought: I will send her 200 USD and let her buy a cheap smartphone in Ukraine so that we can communicate in video chat. We explained to him that $ 200 was clearly too expensive. So how much does a cheap smartphone in Ukraine cost then?

In fact, the logic of our client from the United States can be understood. The American market is dominated by Apple smartphones with a corresponding price tag. However, the situation in Ukraine is different. As of the end of 2020, the TOP smartphone brands in Ukraine look like this: Xiaomi – 40%, Samsung – 25%, Huawei – 16%, ZTE – 4%, Oppo – 4%. As you can see, the Apple brand is not on this list at all.

As for the cost of cheap smartphones of the Xiaomi brand in Ukraine, it is many times lower than Apple smartphones (despite their quite acceptable quality). Their cheapest versions start from 100 USD. Meanwhile, if you want to buy a used Apple smartphone in Ukraine, its price starts from 65 USD only.

If a girl from Ukraine you met on the dating site does not have a smartphone, it’s a wake-up call. A young attractive Ukrainian woman without a smartphone is as rare as a cool party without a hangover in the morning.

The best thing you can do before sending her any money is contact us. “Guys, can you verify this woman from Ukraine? Is she legit?” We will consult you, check her and give a professional assessment. You will save time, money and sleep soundly.

Can – a dating scam scheme

A can – this is how we call a dating scam scheme often used by women from Ukraine and Russia.

The scheme of fraud is based on using the pictures of the same person on a large number of dating sites. Usually it’s 5-20 profiles on different dating sites. Those profiles can be registered for the same person and age or under different names and ages.

The peculiarity is that the photos are impossible or very difficult to identify. It’s like a ghost. So when we take this on (identification of person by photos) it turns almost impossible, because there’s no match on the Internet/social networks. And believe me, we know well how to search. This kind of conspiracy (hygiene on social networks and the Internet) is a necessary component of this dating fraud.

We know the case when a man was in contact with the allegedly same girl on different dating sites, but on one site she swore to him in love, and on another – did not recognize him.

Many times, these women say they’re active people: a doctor, a dancer, a restaurant owner. You have to know that it is impossible in the modern world, in modern Ukraine, for such an active woman at this age not to be on social networks. It does not happen. Not in Ukraine.

What does it mean? It’s a can – another dating scam and you should avoid such girls. Why? Most likely, she does not communicate with you personally. Specially trained people (sometimes even men) do it instead of her. She has either sold her photos to a dating site and now this material works under the same or different legends / different profiles or this person is constantly getting her commission from dating sites.

If necessary, she is told: hey, write a text on a piece of paper and take a photo for such a client. So she urgently does that to confirm she’s legit and allegedly is in correspondence (she’s real and sincere with you).

We know of a case when, according to legend, the girl was in Odessa all the time, but in fact she had been in Dubai for more than a year. From time to time she took photos, imitating that she was in Odessa.

If you encounter a similar situation, avoid such ladies, because it is a scam. Your chances of finding the woman in the photo are extremely low and even if you succeed, it will not work, because that woman does not know you. She has no feelings for you. You are just a source of profit.

Fraud with Ukrainian or Russian passport and American visa

Fake US visa in fake Russian passport dating fraud

A new type of scam on dating sites, which is now becoming popular is when using Ukrainian or Russian passport and a US visa.  

The lady you meet on the dating site lets you know that you are extremely lucky, because she already has a Ukrainian or Russian passport and an American visa. No need to spend extra on a passport, no need to wait for a US visa. Everything is READY and just waiting for you to take it.

After that, the level of your enthusiasm goes beyond, you already imagine a close meeting, etc.

But there is a small nuance. She claims that during the customs control she needs to show that she has the finances for the time of her stay in the USA for as long as you invite her. Actually, this is deception / fraud.

She will say: My love, if I go to you for two weeks, I have to show at customs at least 100 dollars a day. Nothing less than 1,400 dollars. Please send me this amount so I can show it to customs. This is just a formality required by the customs. Darling, when I come to you, I will definitely return this amount to you. I’m an honest girl.

As soon as you send her this money, the girl will disappear.

The fact is that both her passport and her US visa are fake. Most likely, the lady, her pictures and her legend is nothing more than a fiction. So you automatically lose at least $ 1,500.
