Reports :

An online complaint describes a suspected romance scam involving someone using the name Larisa Komova, reportedly associated with Tyumen, Russia. The complaint also lists several alternative identities, including Elena Novikova, Svetlana Kashkova and Ekaterina Derevyashkina. According to the complainant, the sender initiated contact through popular online personal and dating websites. She reportedly approached individuals who responded to advertisements or profiles seeking romantic relationships. As the correspondence developed, the person using Larisa's name expressed an interest in visiting the recipient's country. She allegedly explained that she could obtain a visa with assistance from a friend working at a travel agency. The complainant stated that the sender subsequently requested money for airline tickets. The request was presented as part of the arrangements needed for the proposed international visit. After the ticket-related request, the sender reportedly asked for additional money to cover travel insurance. This introduced another expense associated with the planned journey. The sequence of requests raised concerns that the proposed meeting might have been used to obtain money rather than arrange a genuine visit. The available complaint does not specify how much money was requested, whether the recipient transferred any funds, or whether travel documents were ever purchased. The different names associated with the report also remain unverified. The information does not establish whether these identities belonged to one person, multiple people, or accounts using another individual's photographs.
