Personal, defensive and patrimonial due diligence in Ukraine

Searches for information on missing persons or abducted minors in Ukraine

​

The firm, making use of professional investigators regularly authorized in Ukraine and Italy, has set up a method to be used  to trace people, including minors, who may have been stolen internationally and brought to Ukraine. By the way we recommend reading the specific page on anti-fraud in Ukraine.

Very often, not only the resolution of problems, for example in the field of family law, is linked to mere cross-examination. Sometimes it is decisive to be able to demonstrate, for example, that a marriage was contracted for non-sentimental but economic purposes or to demonstrate with certainty that in fact an abducted minor resides in Ukraine. Think of the much deplored flash marriages, aimed at framing subjects deluded that they have found love, with beautiful brides who are extremely young compared to their spouses who then run away with their children in order to literally blackmail their ex for financial reasons. This Firm, in relation to what is in question, boasts appeals deemed admissible for the annulment of marriages, with "ex tunc" effects (from the moment it was contracted) or for the repatriation of minors from Ukraine to the State of customer assisted.

The declared nullity or annulability of the marriage not only excludes problems inherent to the very value of what has been contracted, but also allows us to avoid in the future requests for rectification of conditions of separation or divorce and claims of any kind on movable and immovable property and on improvements therein.

The firm boasts cases in which it was discovered that the spouse from Ukraine and neighboring states, thanks to documents that later turned out to be false, had declared an age much lower than the real one (8 years), no children or no previous marriages in some cases not yet dissolved. Thanks to these discoveries, the court in question granted the nullity of the marriage directly in Ukraine in three months, due to the defect of consent on the contracting party in good faith.

At a commercial level, preliminary investigations allow for a complete view of the solvency of the customer or business partner in the event of debt collection and the feasibility of the action.

Love scam in Ukraine.

Very frequently this international law firm for Ukraine comes across issues of sentimental fraud or better defined love scams. The victim on the internet or on various social networks has an almost unlimited choice of potential single Ukrainian women and girls who, according to them, are ready to marry in a very short time. Italians, by nature, are very sensitive both to Ukrainian charm and to the desire to start a family and, therefore, ready to accept flattery and declarations of love. Italians, people who are often too honest to believe that others can play with their feelings, are easy prey for scammers, who take advantage of them in a targeted way with the aim of enriching themselves financially.

 

Definition of “sentimental scamentale” or “romance scam” or “love scam” in Ukraine.

For some time there has been a modern form of romance scam in Ukraine, with a promise of marriage called "romance scam" or "love scam". Translated into Italian it means: love scam or romantic scam. To carry out this form of scam, scammers create false profiles on social media or Internet dating sites in order to pretend to be in love with the person who has fallen into their trap and then obtain financial contributions from them or solicit men to exploit them for a fixed period of time.

Modus operandi is quite simple and is divided into two types of cases. The first case is that of direct and personal contact with the victim by the Ukrainian woman (solicitation) and the second is the virtual one on social media.

 

The love scam, with direct contact in Ukraine.

The love scam in Ukraine is still a proven system in use.

The victim, by any means (internet, social media, agencies or through acquaintances), falls into the so-called solicitation and comes into contact with the Ukrainian woman. In the vast majority of cases, a meeting is arranged in Ukraine where the man enters  in a festive manner in the Ukrainian family. At that point, at least initially, the relationship takes off quickly, with days spent between sweet kisses and romantic outings. Precisely being physically and emotionally involved means that the scammer can easily play on the Italian's fear of irremediably losing such a sweet and enamored partner. Therefore, even in a very short time, the inevitable idea of marriage arises. Unexpectedly, often the scammer, faced with the possibility of marriage, begins to show hesitations to cause anxiety and a desire to define the unfortunate person. The future bride will find essential problems to solve in her native land. Some examples: the donation of a large sum to guarantee a period of time for your family to live in Ukraine; the subsidy of medical expenses or unexpected illnesses of close relatives, renovation costs, the purchase of a property to guarantee at least accommodation for the family in Ukraine; that the loved ones of the "betrothed" can arrive and settle in Italy, obviously at the expense of the future Italian husband; the donation of a sum aimed at starting a business in Ukraine and similar ideas. In all cases, always with unfulfilled promises of repayment of the investment.

If the Italian appears willing and capable, the scammer will insist until the man demonstrates the impossibility of continuing with the disbursements or becomes suspicious and becomes more pasimonious. As soon as the first "no!"s begin, the woman will appear perplexed, absent, melancholic, detached and hesitant about marriage. There were even cases in which the future husband had subordinated the "investment" to the celebration of the marriage. In these cases the scammers, with the most absurd gimmicks, have deserted the ceremony, citing fake impediments or created "ad hoc" bureaucratic obstacles, the classic case being the loss of documents, to postpone the ceremony.

This firm has unmasked scammers who had multiple relationships and all with promises of marriage.

 

The virtual romance scam in Ukraine.

The scammer or swindler (the English term scammer means swindler) surfs the Internet under a false profile and contacts his victim on an Internet social platform. This impostor first begins by exchanging messages with his prey. Then, strangely very quickly, she says she fell in love. If the subject agrees, he will be inundated with compliments and sweet nothings until he actually falls in love and nourishes the illusion of having found the partner of his life in Ukraine, who will often have the appearance of a beautiful woman. Obviously, the real gender of the scammer or swindler doesn't matter at all. For weeks and months the alleged love relationship develops via Skype, WhatsApp or other platforms. Joint plans will be made for the future and the future wife or partner will also show an intention to meet the other in real life. But precisely at this point the unexpected happens! Shortly before the appointment scheduled with the alleged Ukrainian woman, in reality a scammer, who claims to have been involved in an accident, to have fallen ill or to have been robbed at the airport or that she was unable to leave for the most varied reasons and, therefore, of not being able to leave Ukraine. At this point the victim is invited to cover the costs of treatment, travel or other expenses and to pay the necessary amount via money transfer or into an account abroad. Instead, the problems and obstacles multiply and the victim is asked to pay money again each time. However, the longed-for meeting will never happen.

Following the above, if the victim stops paying or becomes suspicious, the scammer changes strategy: she then becomes more insistent and threatens to leave him, thus putting her face to face with a definitive choice. And if this method doesn't work either, the scammer resorts to other tricks. In other words: anyone who has paid money once will continue to be harassed with the most varied systems until they finally interrupt contact with the scammer.
