Technology was supposed to make online dating safer. Instead, it’s giving scammers brand-new tools to rob men like you.
We’re now facing a new wave of romance scams where artificial intelligence creates women that don’t even exist—and these fake beauties are shockingly convincing.

How This New Scam Works

It’s the same old story:

• A stunning Ukrainian girl suddenly takes an interest in you.
• She flirts, learns your type, and becomes your “perfect woman.”
• Soon, she’s talking about visiting you or needing help with “documents” or “emergencies.”

But now, with AI, it’s gone to the next level:

1. Fake Photos: AI generates professional-quality pictures of women who never existed.
2. Fake Passports: Scammers now create entire documents that look 100% real.
3. AI Video Calls: Yes—you can have a live video chat for 30 minutes with a beautiful girl…and she still doesn’t exist. AI perfectly animates a fake face and syncs it with a scammer’s voice.

In the end, you’re left with nothing but empty promises and an empty wallet.

Why You Can’t Detect the Fake

From what we’ve seen:

• 90% of these fake profiles look better than real women. They’re designed to hit your exact preferences.
• Regular photo searches won’t help—these faces have never existed, so no matches come up.
• Even experienced online daters fall for it.

We’ve analyzed the woman in these photos (see below), and here’s what we found:

• She does not exist in real life.
• All her “passports” and “IDs” are completely fabricated.
• The “video calls” are AI avatars, not real women.
• Our technology detected face-swapping and synthetic image generation in her online profiles.

The Risks Are Huge

• 💸 Financial Losses: Most victims lose thousands of dollars chasing fake love stories.
• 🔐 Identity Theft: Scammers can trick you into sending personal documents or payment details.
• 💔 Emotional Devastation: Imagine realizing that the woman you thought you loved was never even real.

✅ Before sending money, verify the woman’s identity.

Understanding Article 190 of the Criminal Code

She told you she loved you. She said she needed help — money for rent, food, or her dog’s surgery. You sent it. Then she disappeared. Or worse — kept coming back with new stories.

If this happened to you, you’re not alone. Many men in the U.S. have fallen victim to long-distance “relationships” with Ukrainian or Russian women they met online. But here’s something most victims don’t realize:

Under Ukrainian law, many of these scams are not just unethical — they’re criminal.

Let’s break it down.

🔹 What Is Article 190 of the Criminal Code of Ukraine?

Article 190 of the Criminal Code defines fraud as obtaining money, property, or rights through deception or abuse of trust.

That includes situations where a woman pretends to care about you, builds emotional trust, and then uses that to take your money.

Whether it’s:

• A fake story about a visa
• An emergency surgery
• A war-related excuse
• Or a romantic promise to visit

… if there was no real intention to follow through, it’s not just heartbreak — it may be criminal fraud.

🔹 Real Example: A $7,000 Scam with a Fake Visa

One of our clients met a Ukrainian woman on a dating app. Over two years, she built trust, told him she wanted to visit, and sent a photo of a U.S. tourist visa.

He sent her money to help with “paperwork” and “tickets.”
She disappeared soon after.

We investigated the document — the visa was fake.
We helped him prepare a report under Article 190, and now legal action is underway in Ukraine.

🔹 Is Asking for Money Online a Crime?

If someone lies to you, knowing they’re lying, and takes your money — that can be fraud.
In Ukrainian law, this is especially true when:

• The scam involves fake documents
• The scammer used email, video calls, or text to build trust
• You lost a significant amount of money

The bigger the loss — the stronger the case.

🔹 Penalties Under Article 190: What Scammers Face

Depending on the amount of money and how the fraud was committed, punishment may include:

• ✅ Up to 12 years in prison
• ✅ Confiscation of assets
• ✅ Harsher penalties if the scam involved:
• A group of people
• Use of computers or mobile tech
• Actions during wartime
• Losses over ₴908,400 (approx. $23,000 USD)

In 2025, any scam above ₴151,400 (~$3,800) qualifies as “significant harm” and opens the door to serious legal consequences.

🔹 Warning Signs of Criminal Fraud in Online Dating

Be cautious if she:

• 💸 Asks for money soon after meeting you online
• 🏥 Shares stories about medical emergencies, surgeries, or dog operations
• 📅 Promises to visit you — but never shows up
• 🛂 Sends you a visa or document you can’t verify
• 💔 Claims she’s a refugee or victim of war but refuses to meet in person
• 🔁 Keeps changing her story or city — “now in Paris, now in Warsaw…”

These are classic scam patterns we see weekly.

❓FAQ: Criminal Fraud & Romance Scams in Ukraine

Can I report a Ukrainian scammer from the U.S.?

Yes. If the fraud was committed by a person in Ukraine, Ukrainian law applies. With evidence, legal action is possible — even from abroad.

Is asking for money online considered a crime?

Not always. But if the money was requested based on false promises, it can be qualified as criminal fraud.

How much money counts as a serious crime?

In 2025, losses above ₴151,400 (~$3,800) are considered “significant” and allow for tougher penalties under Article 190.

What if she used a fake visa or document?

That strengthens the case — using forged papers is an aggravating factor in criminal fraud cases.

What age does criminal responsibility begin in Ukraine?

16 years old. If she’s an adult, she can be prosecuted.

How “Angelina Kovalenko” used fake military photos and a tragic story to steal from men online.

When “Angelina Kovalenko” reached out on Facebook, she claimed it was a mistake. But soon, she was chatting like she knew you forever.

She said she was a soldier in the Ukrainian Armed Forces, stationed in Donetsk. She shared photos in uniform, with Ukrainian flags and weapons. Her Facebook was filled with patriotic posts, memorials to fallen soldiers, and pictures showing a tough, brave woman ready to defend her country.

But it was all fake.

Who Is She Really?

The woman in the photos is Anastasiia Lenna, a Ukrainian model and former beauty queen. Scammers stole her pictures from Instagram and used them to create a fake identity: “Angelina Kovalenko.”

They added war-zone photos, wrote military-style posts, and posed as a heroic Ukrainian servicewoman to gain trust.

📌 This is not the first time scammers used Anastasiia’s identity. Her face has been used in multiple scams since the start of the full-scale invasion.

The Story That Raised Red Flags

After moving the conversation to WhatsApp, she claimed to have suffered a broken neck in combat, was recovering in Kyiv, and was planning to travel back to Donetsk — by Uber.

Seriously? A broken-neck soldier traveling by car into an active war zone?

She added more emotional hooks:

• A son named Andriy and a sister in Istanbul.
• Photos from a hospital bed with a neck brace.
• Requests for support — “just until I recover.”

Eventually, the ask came:
“Can you send me something via PayPal?”
When that didn’t work:
“Apple gift cards would really help.”

And sadly, some were sent.

Phone Number Used in the Scam

What You Can Learn From This Scam

If you’re a Western man chatting with a beautiful woman from Ukraine who claims to be:

• a soldier,
• a single mother,
• recently injured,
• and asking for money or gift cards…

🚨 You’re likely being scammed.

❗How to Protect Yourself

✅ Reverse search her photos. Use tools like Google Images or TinEye.

✅ Check her story for logic. Soldiers don’t take Ubers to war zones.

✅ Don’t send money. Not through PayPal. Not Apple gift cards. Not Western Union. Ever.

✅ Ask for a verification report. We offer full background checks on any woman from Ukraine, Russia, Kazakhstan, or Eastern Europe.
