Scam Pattern: Anastasiia Tomin

A report received by our team describes an account using the name Anastasiia Tomin (allegedly from Kropyvnytskyi, Ukraine) that appears to be attempting to solicit money from targets via dating platforms and private messengers. The following summary is based on a victim report and our preliminary review. These are allegations reported to us and should be treated as suspicious indicators rather than proven facts.

Tactics reported

• Dating platform initiation: Contact starts on a dating site (reported username: bubbledrink111 on C-Date).
• Shift to private chat: Conversation moved quickly to WhatsApp (same identifier reported).
• Fake / inconsistent documents: The alleged scammer supplied identity documents that the reporting user judged suspicious or forged.
• Repeated money requests: Multiple requests for funds, typically via Western Union or PayPal. PayPal requests were reported to route payments to a third party, not the profile owner’s account.
• Emotional pressure: Classic urgency tactics — requests framed around a “sick mother”, travel costs, visa/insurance fees, or other emergencies.

Common red flags

• Rapid emotional attachment after a short online exchange.
• Refusal to meet in person or provide verifiable live identity proof (video call in real time with ID verification).
• Requests for money through hard-to-reverse channels (money transfer services, cash pickup, or third-party PayPal accounts).
• Photos that appear in multiple places under different names or obvious image re-use.
• Inconsistent or changing story details about travel, documents, or family emergencies.

How to protect yourself

• Stop communication the moment repeated money requests begin — especially for travel, visas, or “medical” bills.
• Do not send money via Western Union, MoneyGram, or to third-party PayPal accounts requested by someone you haven’t independently verified.
• Request a live video call where the person holds up a government ID and a handwritten note with today’s date and your name. If they refuse, treat that as a major red flag.
• Perform reverse image searches on profile photos; check whether the images appear under other names or on scam watchlists.
• Report the profile to the dating site and keep a record of all communications and transaction attempts for law enforcement if needed.

Conclusion

The pattern described fits a romance / advance-fee scam: the perpetrator builds trust, then invents urgent financial needs and asks the target to send money. Targets should be highly cautious and avoid sending funds without secure, independent verification.
