The VIP passenger by PR agent for a charter flight to Abu Dhabi

This isn’t just another scam narrative; it’s a complex case that’s unfolding, with an ever-growing list of victims.

A Greek PR agent and travel consultant, who has a background in journalism, successfully persuaded businesspeople, journalists, and high society members that she could organize luxurious VIP trips—exclusive and elite experiences. However, beneath this facade of sophistication lay a meticulously orchestrated fraud.

In an interview with protothema.gr, Andreas Christodoulides, president of Zela Aviation, shared that this woman sought to charter one of their aircraft for travel to Abu Dhabi during the EuroLeague Final Four. However, the deal never materialized as she failed to sign the contract. “When she sent us her list of VIPs, we were taken aback. It looked completely amateurish—like a mere shopping list,” he recounted.

Christodoulides noted that the PR agent demanded a €30,000 commission, which would have significantly increased the per-person cost. “When we explained the financial implications, she responded, ‘Don’t worry, these people have money to spend,’” he said.

Victims who approached protothema.gr described her methodical approach: she would begin with small trips—like a two-day Vienna stay or a quick corporate event. Initially, she seemed flawless, providing impressive services. Gradually, she would leverage this trust to undertake larger, costlier projects, allegedly pocketing thousands of euros without delivering anything. One notable instance was her role with the Greek national cheerleading team.

Additionally, she sought social recognition through connections with journalists and prominent professionals. By inviting them to events, offering perks, and facilitating access, she crafted a narrative of success in the PR realm. On social media, she projected the image of a woman embedded in elite circles, claiming connections with influential figures in government and business.

And this is where the depth of her deception becomes evident. Verified information indicates that the situation has escalated to the highest levels of government, with the woman allegedly invoking the names of current ministers to persuade others that the Abu Dhabi trip was secured. Though some individuals expressed interest in traveling, they never authorized her to act on their behalf.

This revelation has raised alarms among government officials, prompting an investigation into the events. It’s becoming evident that this is not an isolated case. The activities of this Greek PR agent exhibit meticulous planning, strategy, networking, and a warped sense of reality—akin to the actions of Anna Sorokin. While one became the subject of a Netflix series, the other remains hidden behind Instagram posts and messages of regret. Yet their similarities are chilling: both have leveraged the allure of influence to disguise their deceit in a glamorous facade.
