Ukrainian escort sells airline tickets paid for with other people's cards: what is known about Alexandra Eskova

Aleksandra Yeskova (Александра Еськова), presenting herself as a personal concierge, offers clients organisational services — ranging from booking restaurants and hotels to finding flights and assisting with shopping. According to available information, her services include the sale of Emirates flights on special terms.

When speaking to potential customers, Eskova explains that the attractive offers are made possible by the availability of corporate miles. This narrative helps to present the purchase of tickets as access to internal corporate programmes and special fares.

However, according to customers, the scheme may work differently. Eskova promises to book tickets in a particular class of service, but ends up purchasing tickets in a lower class. The difference in price for such bookings, they estimate, can be as much as $7,000–10,000.

According to customers, once payment has been received and the tickets issued, Eskova stops responding or avoids providing any explanation. As a result, customers risk losing their money and receiving a service that does not meet the original arrangements.

The fraudster also uses other people’s bank cards, including those stolen in the US, to pay for flight tickets.

As well as providing concierge services, Eskova is known for offering escort services.
