In a bid to fund their country's war effort, scammers originating from Ukraine are employing fake dating profiles to trick gullible Russian men out of substantial sums of money.
The Monetary Army, a group targeting Russian soldiers, police officers, military academy students, and others, employs a wide range of tactics to trick victims out of sums as high as £19,000 to support the Ukranian government. Posing as attractive women on Divinchik, a popular dating app in Russia, these approximately 100 scammers match with unsuspecting men and try to trick them into shelling out certain amounts which will eventually be used for their cause.
