How to Flag a Suspicious Profile

-

 If you’ve come across a suspicious profile, submit it for review using our VU Data Collection Form. One profile = one form. 😉

📌 Submit a Profile Now → VU Case Form

What We Investigate:

  • Romance / Soldier Impersonation Scams – Our focus is on fake profiles impersonating Ukrainian soldiers.

What to Include:

  • The Profile Link – A direct link to the suspected scammer’s social media.

  • Details About the Profile – Any red flags you’ve noticed.

  • Money Requests? – If the scammer asked for money, specify how (e.g., bank transfers, PayPal, crypto).

  • Screenshots & Evidence – Upload up to five files showing:

    • The profile itself

    • Their intro message (if applicable)

    • The money request (if applicable)

    • Any links to Telegram, WhatsApp, or Google Chat they provided

If you have additional information, questions or more then 5 screenshots to upload, please send us an email 

Additional Questions:

  • May We Contact You? – If we need more details, we might reach out via your social media.

  • How Did You Hear About Us? – Helps us improve outreach!

Privacy Note:

➡️ Use any email format you want – You don’t need to use your private email address. A placeholder like example@wherever.meh will work just fine!

Important Notes Before You Submit:

  • Submission ≠ Confirmation – Sending a profile does not mean it is fake; it only means VU will review it.

  • Submit Early – If you feel something is off, submit as soon as possible—you don’t need absolute proof.

  • Review Process Takes Time – VU only posts verified scammers after thorough checks, so there may be delays.

  • Community-Driven Action – VU does not have special powers over social media accounts. Instead, once a scammer is confirmed, followers take action by reporting the profile.

Our Mission The Verification Unit is a team of relentless volunteers from diverse backgrounds , united by one goal— to fight fraud and protect Ukraine . What began as a mission to expose scammers impersonating Ukrainian soldiers and officials has uncovered a far deeper problem: Every Scam Has Three Victims: Ukraine —as stolen donations never reach those who need them. The person targeted —deceived, manipulated, and often financially exploited. Ukraine again —as trust in giving is destroyed, and people stop donating altogether. We do not work for any platform or law enforcement, and we do not have special powers. What we do have is persistence, strategy, and a community that refuses to just let fraud thrive. What Drives Us Scams don’t run on a schedule, and neither do we. Our ability to operate around the clock comes down to one thing— dedicated volunteers who refuse to let scammers go unchallenged. Some of us bring expertise, others bring time, and together, we make it work.  ...
