Scam scheme:
The victim reports that Uliana Ponomarova contacted him via Match.com. After he replied to her first message, she immediately admitted that the Match.com profile was fake and that the photos used there were not even hers.
She then moved the conversation off the dating site and started playing the scam very carefully: she did not ask for money directly, but kept dropping hints about her financial problems until the victim himself offered help.
At that point she supplied her bank account details. When the victim tried to send a small test transfer, his bank immediately rejected it as a wrong account. He informed her about this; she blamed the war and claimed that banks were having issues because of it.
She then pushed him to use a payment app that would allow her to withdraw the money in cash. After that she told him she would take the cash to “immigration”, insisting that they would not accept any other form of payment than cash.
