Story
The reported case concerns a woman using the name Tetiana Dryhola, who claims to be from Poltava, Ukraine. She establishes contact with foreign men on dating platforms such as Meetic, presenting herself as a serious woman interested in a long-term relationship. After a short period of communication on the platform, she consistently pushes to move the conversation to private messengers and email. From the earliest exchanges, she emphasizes trust, honesty, and traditional family values, creating an atmosphere intended to reduce skepticism. To support her credibility, she sends scans and photographs of a Ukrainian international passport and a Ukrainian tax certificate bearing official-looking stamps. These documents are presented as proof of identity and legal standing. When asked about verification, she insists that the documents are “100% real” and discourages any independent checks, urging the man to rely solely on screenshots and selfies. Independent verification shows that the passport and tax data used in this case do not correspond to official Ukrainian records, a common indicator in romance fraud cases involving forged documents. After sustained communication and emotional familiarity are established, the conversation gradually shifts toward financial matters. She introduces a series of money-related problems, including alleged unpaid tax debts, blocked bank accounts, urgent “state fees” or fines referenced in the tax certificate, and unexpected travel expenses she claims she cannot cover herself. Each request is framed as temporary and exceptional, often accompanied by explanations involving job loss, administrative pressure, or the claim that she needs help “just one last time” so the couple can finally meet in person. Throughout the exchange, responsibility is subtly shifted onto the man. She states that she has no one else to ask for help, describes local authorities in Poltava as corrupt or unhelpful, and presents his financial support as the only way to resolve the situation and move forward with a shared future abroad. When doubts arise, hesitation is met with prolonged emotional messages and guilt-based pressure. Rather than proposing transparent alternatives—such as meeting in Ukraine or paying official fees directly through verifiable channels—she insists on private money transfers to accounts under her control, avoiding traceable or official payment routes. In multiple reported instances, after funds are sent, the promised meeting is repeatedly postponed. New bureaucratic obstacles, additional debts, or sudden emergencies are introduced shortly before the supposed travel date. When victims request independent verification of her identity or documents at this stage, she becomes evasive, deflects questions, or ceases communication altogether. This behavior follows a pattern typical of Ukrainian romance scams: an online relationship built on emotional investment, the use of forged or mismatched documents to establish legitimacy, initial financial requests framed as temporary assistance, payments directed through non-transparent channels, and repeated delays that prevent any real-life meeting from taking place. Internal checks confirm that the passport and tax documents associated with the name “Tetiana Dryhola” do not match official records and that the online persona used in this case is inconsistent with verified identity data. Additional verified information may be available to affected individuals who require it for legal consultation or personal clarification, subject to applicable procedures and conditions.
