Olena Rikhazova

Scam Pattern: Olena Rikhazova

This case involves a woman introducing herself as Olena Rikhazova.
She claims to be restricted from leaving Ukraine due to an alleged tax debt connected to a failed clothing business co-owned with her ex-partner.
To gain sympathy, she mixes stories about professional setbacks, family drama, and life under daily air raids in Chernihiv.

Tactics used

• Claimed she co-owned a clothing business with her ex-partner, who was also the accountant, and that debts remained after the divorce.
• Stated that the migration office blocked her from getting a passport due to unpaid taxes.
• Convinced her victim to send money for a “partial payment” of the debt, then changed the story, saying the full debt must be paid.
• Sent forged documents, including decrees from the Ukrainian Tax Office, fake bank orders, and fabricated receipts.
• Claimed to now work in a boutique in Chernihiv while barely surviving financially.
• Shared background stories: originally trained as a nurse, later opened a business, lost everything after divorce, now struggling alone.
• Added emotional elements: claims of constant air attacks in Chernihiv and stories about her cat “Musya.”

Fake contacts and documents

• Fake decrees and certificates allegedly issued by the Ukrainian Tax Office.
• Forged bank payment orders and receipts showing “partial payments.”
• References to boutique employment in Chernihiv used to appear genuine.
