Blackmailed with intimate photos — “lawyer” lured a Kyiv woman out of over 200,000 hryvnias

A resident of Kyiv, who suffered from the actions of a fraudster, contacted Ternopil law enforcement officers. The Ternopil regional police reported this. 

The woman said that she allegedly met a lawyer from Ternopil online. He said that someone had posted her intimate photos on one of the sites. The unknown person offered his help and promised that the photos would disappear, but for this it was necessary to pay the moderators.

The woman accepted this offer, because a few years ago she really took photos of an intimate nature. To avoid publicity, the Kyiv resident used her own savings and borrowed some of the money from relatives and friends.

During conversations with the “assistant” she received SMS messages and other notifications, supposedly about the removal of photos. And after some time she also received a message about the debiting of money from her bank card. The woman realized that she had become a victim of a fraudster and contacted the police.

Investigators have opened proceedings under Part 4 of Article 190 (fraud committed on a large scale) of the Criminal Code of Ukraine and are identifying the perpetrator.
