This isn’t just another scam story—it’s something far more complex. A case that’s now taking on broader dimensions, as the list of scam victims continues to grow.

A Greek PR agent and travel consultant, with a background in journalism, managed to convince businesspeople, corporate executives, journalists, and members of high society that she was capable of organizing luxury VIP trips—exclusive, institutional, and elite. However, behind this manufactured glamor was likely a well-orchestrated fraud.

Speaking to protothema.gr, Andreas Christodoulides, president of Zela Aviation, revealed that this woman attempted to charter one of the company’s aircraft for a mission to Abu Dhabi, on the occasion of the EuroLeague Final Four. However, the collaboration never progressed officially, as she never signed the contract sent to her. And not only that: “When she sent us the list of VIPs, we were shocked. It was completely amateurish—like a shopping list,” he says.

According to Christodoulides, the PR agent requested a €30,000 commission from the deal—something that would significantly raise the cost per person. “When we explained that the total cost would skyrocket, she replied, ‘Don’t worry, these people have money to spend,’” he recounts.

Her method of operation, as described by dozens of victims who contacted protothema.gr, was almost professionally mapped out: she would first target small, manageable trips—like a two-day stay in Vienna or a quick corporate outing. There, she would operate flawlessly, offering services that impressed. Then, she’d move on to the “big game.” She used the trust she had built to take on larger, more expensive missions—allegedly pocketing thousands of euros without providing anything in return. One example is her handling of the Greek national cheerleading team.

At the same time, she sought social recognition, primarily through journalists and high-profile professionals. She invited them to events, arranged perks, offered “hospitality” or facilitated access—and later used the photos and their names to craft the narrative of a successful PR agent. On social media, she curated the image of a woman mingling in elite circles, with access to ministerial offices and connections with influential figures in the business and political world.

And this is where the depth of the deception starts to show. According to fully verified information, the matter has reached the highest levels of government, as the woman invoked—or even used—the names of current ministers and their partners to convince third parties that the Abu Dhabi trip was “locked in.” Some of these individuals had shown genuine interest in traveling—but had never authorized her to act on their behalf.

This revelation caused a stir and prompted action from government officials, who demanded an investigation into what exactly had transpired. What now appears clear is that this was not an isolated incident. The actions of this Greek PR agent reveal planning, strategy, networking, and a distortion of reality—much like what Anna Sorokin did. The only difference is that one became a Netflix series. The other, for now, hides behind Instagram stories and messages of regret. But their similarity is chilling: both used the allure of power to wrap their fraud in a golden package.
