First name, Last name: Diana Stopina
Country, City: Ukraine, Zhytomyr
Telephone: +380633202184 +380969640977
Samples of her messages: Yeva Krishtopa, also claiming to be from Zhytomyr. Diana Stopina said this was her Sister and asked me to send 1700 euro to her account, as Diana's account was now closed.
Scheme fraud: Her real name is Yuliia Aukhatshina-Somova (Сомова Аухатшина Юлия Владимировна). She's from Yoshkar-Ola, Russia.
I was first contacted mid June through the UK dating site Match. I was soon diverted away from the site to WhatsApp. The girl sent me photo’s, which did not look like the girl n the dating site, but she was very beautiful, so we started to converse via WhatsApp. After about 4 weeks of quite intense communications, Yuliia, acting as Diana said she would like to come to the UK, but she did not have the 700 euro it would cost for the Biometric Passport, visa and insurance. On 12th July I transferred this money to her.
Following on from this, Yuliia acting as Diana then said that she was unable to get a passport due to owing 6300 euro in tax to the treasury from a previous failed business. After much more intense and very emotional and loving communications, I send this money to her on 10th August. I had now send 7000 euro.
I asked for proof of the payment to her tax, see attachment photo, which just shows the money going from one bank account to another, and does not have any tax reference number on it. It was not paid to the Treasury.
Following on from this, Yuliia again acting as Diana said she needed another 1700 Euro’s to pay the penalties and interest on her tax. This is when I started to ask questions.
This has been a total scam. I guess Dianna Stopina is the ghost writer and the owner of the bank account to which the monies were sent, but the scam was fronted by Yuliia Somova, who’s pictures you see here, and of whom I have many videos, and spoken to directly on video chat.
