A woman in Russia fell victim to internet scammers who "messaged" her using the name of Kerem Bürsin, a Turkish actor she admires.
A woman who works in a library in Moscow and is said to be a fan of Kerem Bürsin, whom she knows from Turkish TV series, lost 2 million rubles (about 31 thousand dollars) to internet scammers.
According to the news in the Russian media, an unidentified person or persons writing by introducing themselves as Kerem Bürsin demanded 2 million rubles from the Russian woman "to send her personal belongings from Istanbul to Moscow by container". In return, he stated that she could buy any item she wished.
The fraudsters disappeared after the woman sent the money. An investigation has been launched into the incident.
