Diana Gerko

She messaged me on Telegram, saying we met on the dating site on Feb 26 2025 (sent first paypal 2/27/25 to her email for Yulia) We chatted about the normal things learning about each other. Around day 3-4 she needed help with rent because her salary was delayed, I sent some money. A few days later she talked about leaving the occupied area and going to her aunts in Kyiv. She needed money for the private transport, this amount included the bribe at the russian border, I sent some money here as well. She arrived at her aunts and began working with her aunts business She wanted to travel to the US, I was hesitant. Her idea was working to save for travel. There was an opportunity with her aunts friend for an expedited visa, but we had to get it fast, her aunts friend was leaving Ukraine for weeks on vacation and talked about not returning. I sent some money to help with the visa. When Diana went to pick up the visa she was picked up by police for being out past curfew. If a $1,000 bribe was paid she would be released. We didn’t have that so her documents were taken and she was accused of being a Russian spy and put in prison. We stopped talking for a while she messaged later asking me to send the money so she could go home, I didn’t. That is where we parted ways March 27, 2025. Her picture is used on 10+ profiles on Ukrainedate.com and Internationalcupid.com with different locations. Her telegram is still active, I sent a message May 1, she hasn't looked at it. Shes back - May 18, 2025 said she was released from prison and had to change numbers… @Dian_o_4ka on telegram - 'new number' - +380 97 952 7768
During this whole time we had a two longer video chats 10-20 minutes, and five circle videos on telegram were sent. All seemed authentic. She also sent video in Kyiv police station and a circle when traveling to Kyiv. I found Diana's pictures when searching for Yulia's friend Diana's email address (see below). I found the same pictures for Diana Monchinskaya - presumed to be the real person… Also I see her picture now on paypal now. Emails Diana sent me for paypal - didn’t use them, told her I was blocked so I sent money to PaySend, assuming these emails are affiliates. karina_bondar2002@ukr.net
