Scheme fraud:
Fake Ukrainian international passport, transportation-to-airport pretext
Primary hook: the suspect presents a photographed Ukrainian international passport (bio-page) in the name “Katerina/Kateryna Panchenko” to build trust and accelerate payment decisions. Our verification determined this passport image is counterfeit; we successfully identified the person behind the profile and recovered her real data.
Money request used in this case: the victim was asked to cover a €600 transportation cost from Kakhovka, Kherson region (Russian-occupied territory) to Warsaw Chopin Airport in Poland, framed as the only way to “safely reach the EU.”
How the pretext works: after sending a fake passport image, the scammer claims urgent logistics from an occupied area and pressures for a single “one-time” transfer that will solve travel barriers. If payment is made, additional “fees” (tickets, insurance, border issues) commonly follow in similar Ukraine romance-scam cases.
Safety note: verify any Ukrainian woman’s identity and documents before transfers.
We have investigated this scammer and can provide full information about her real identity. This is a paid service. Feel free to contact us if you're interested.
