A Russian woman recounted that a scam had left her over $ 20,000, after thinking that Australian actor Chris Hemsworth was courting her on social media.
A man posing as a brilliant actor approached the 42-year-old girl on Twitter, sending him a series of messages over two months, starting with: "Hey, I'm Chris Hemsworth, I'm a famous Australian actor I live in California, you're so pretty, can we chat? "
Although she was not a fan of the actor, she liked what she saw and apparently did a research on Thor's star. Although she discovered that he was married and father of three, she did not question it because the messages arrived at a time when the marriage of the mother of two children was in crisis.
"I thought he was in the same situation as me, we were both married and very lonely," the woman told a local newspaper, the source said. Serbian time.
The pair's messages gave the naïve woman the hope of meeting the Hollywood star … enough to be able to take out a loan and transfer a large sum of money to the man so that he could visit him.
Police in Serbia is currently investigating the case and is looking into a criminal case after the online fraudster got $ 20,100 (980,000 rubles).
The woman transferred the money after a second person, claiming to be Hemsworth's lawyer, contacted the woman, claiming that the alleged actor wanted to come to see her in Serbia but did not have only little money. Therefore, if she transferred it to him, he would pay her back.
"He needed money to pay for visas, insurance and parking for his private jet in Siberia," a police source in the city of Irkutsk told the publication.
"The lawyer asked him to transfer money and sent him Chris's driver's license as a money-back guarantee."
However, it seems that the woman has failed on Google – that of the official license of Vic Roads being very different. The fake also seems to contain a photo of the actor on the red carpet.
Hemsworth lives in Los Angeles. The 35-year-old moved to Byron Bay with his wife Elsa Pataky and their three children in 2014.
In addition, it is unlikely that Hemworth is short of money, since he was appointed by Forbes Magazine as one of the highest paying actors in the world, ranking eleventh on the list, raising $ 43.59 million ($ 31.5 million) in 2017.
Due to the scam, the Serbian police are warning women not to give money to the people they meet online.
"We urge everyone not to keep in touch with strangers and not send anything to people you do not know," they said in a statement.
