Contacted via UkraineDate.com on September 11, 2023. Expressed a desire to visit my home in Belgium from the third week of December 2023 for a month. Claimed to work as a child psychologist at a secondary school in Bryansk. I sent money for visa application and airfare. The travel agency “Vip Tour” in Bryansk, UK, handled the formalities. The cost for documentation and plane tickets was 1200 Euros, sent via the CashAdvance website. The Schengen Visa was applied for through the German Embassy in Moscow, requiring proof of funds (100 Euros/day for 30 days = 3000 Euros). I sent 2500 Euros, but Cash Advance flagged it as a potential scam and returned the money after several checks. I then transferred 2500 Euros directly to her Raiffeisenbank account.
Scheduled to fly on December 23, Moscow to Istanbul, then Istanbul to Brussels, she was reportedly detained by Russian customs for having black caviar in her luggage. She faced a fine of 1,000,000 rubles (approximately 10,000 Euros) or 2 years in prison. In desperation, she attempted to raise the 10,000 Euros, and her retired father sent me documents claiming that their apartment was for sale to raise funds.
I began to suspect a scam after discussions with my loved ones, realizing she was still able to communicate via email and phone despite being detained, and receiving a threatening email from her father when I hesitated to send the 10,000 Euros.
