Reports :

An online complaint submitted by a person identified as Thomas describes a suspected romance scam involving someone using the name Anna Korotkova, reportedly from Saratov, Russia. According to Thomas, the person contacted him after viewing his Facebook profile. The two began exchanging letters and continued communicating for approximately three months, during which the correspondence appeared to develop into a personal relationship. After several months of communication, the sender reportedly expressed an interest in traveling to the United States to meet Thomas. She claimed that she needed to travel to Moscow to arrange a visa for the proposed visit. The sender allegedly requested **€500** to cover the expenses associated with traveling to Moscow and obtaining the visa. Thomas stated that he refused to send the requested money. According to his account, communication stopped after he declined the financial request. The sudden end of correspondence led Thomas to suspect that the relationship had been motivated by a desire to obtain money rather than a genuine intention to meet. Thomas submitted the complaint to warn others about the experience. He specifically expressed concern that another person might receive similar messages and be persuaded to transfer funds. The original report does not establish whether the individual using Anna Korotkova's name was the person shown in the accompanying photographs. It also does not independently verify the claimed location, identity, or intended travel arrangements.
