Scam Message:
Liudmila, like many romance scammers, often targets vulnerable individuals online, posing as an attractive and affectionate person seeking a serious relationship. She may use stolen or fabricated photos to create a trustworthy profile on social media or dating platforms, gradually building a connection with her target over messages and calls. Once trust is established, she often begins to share fabricated stories of sudden financial hardships, such as medical emergencies or travel expenses, and asks for financial assistance. Victims may feel compelled to help, believing they are supporting a loved one, only to realize later that Liudmila’s entire identity and relationship were fictitious. Romance scammers like her operate across borders, making it challenging to track and retrieve lost funds, leaving victims both financially and emotionally distressed.
