Scam Description
She asks for pictures first (on social media), then threatens to send them to your followers and asks for money in exchange.
This sounds like a very stressful situation. It's a double scam: first, the attempt to extort you with photos, and then the fabricated draft summons. Here's what you should do:
Regarding the Extortion:
- Don't Send Money: Absolutely do not send any money to Katemary23_. Paying her encourages her to continue scamming others.
- Block Communication: Cut off all contact with her on social media, Telegram, and WhatsApp. Block her phone number.
- Report the Extortion: Report the extortion attempt to the police. While they might not be able to track her down (especially if she's overseas), having a police report can be helpful if she tries to contact you again in the future.
Regarding the Draft Summons:
- This is Fake: Draft dodging documents in Ukraine are highly regulated and wouldn't involve someone begging for money online. It's a fabrication to manipulate you.
- Ignore Her Requests: Don't engage with her pleas for money. She's preying on your sympathy to exploit you financially.
Here are some additional tips:
- Report Her Profile: If you met her on OkCupid, report her profile to the website administrators as fraudulent.
- Beware of Online Romance Scams: Unfortunately, online romance scams are common. Be cautious about sharing personal information or sending money to someone you haven't met in person.
Scammers often use fake documents to make their stories seem more believable. Here's a unique tip to help you spot a fake: Image Verification Tools.
These online tools can analyze images for signs of manipulation. Here's how they work:
For example, CredCheck (https://scamcheckup.com/credcheck/) can be helpful for analyzing images fo manipulation.
- Save a copy of the passport photo Katemary23_ sent you.
- Go to CredCheck.
- Upload the photo and the tool will scan the web for similar images and provide you with results.
you can also reverse search the image to see if the passport photo appears elsewhere online, particularly on unrelated websites, it's a strong indication it's not a real passport and the scammer stole it from somewhere else.
Remember, online relationships take time to develop trust. If someone you barely know starts pressuring you for money or sending you suspicious documents, it's a red flag. By being cautious and using these tips, you can protect yourself from romance scams.
