A Story of Betrayal and Deception: Beware of Scammers

The business world is full of risks, but sometimes threats come from the most unexpected places. That’s exactly what happened to me. Today, I want to warn you about two individuals hiding behind the mask of successful entrepreneurs: Irina Jadallah (Irina Gradusova) and Anna Ivanchenko.

Beware of Scammers

Irina Gradusova is a scammer whose sole focus has always been on easy money

Who Are They Really?

Irina Gradusova is a scammer whose sole focus has always been on easy money. Starting her so-called “career” at Piccolo Teatro de Milano, she quickly realized how to exploit the trust of others. In over 15 years of her supposed professional life, she hasn’t organized a single notable event or worked with any well-known artists. Her partner in crime, Anna Ivanchenko, is another figure in this fraudulent operation. Previously, she managed a recruitment company in Saint Petersburg, but it seems she took away only one skill from that experience: how to manipulate people.

Here’s how their scheme works:

1. Creating an illusion of success. They portray themselves as modern businesswomen, leveraging conferences, social media, and fake projects to build their “image.” 2. Minimal effort, maximum deceit. A website (www.ticketmeta.io), a poorly made demo, and “carnival broadcasts” in 144p quality are all they’ve done to convince investors of their seriousness. 3. Manipulation and pressure. Once they get the money, all promises turn into endless excuses, ignored calls, and constant delays.

How Do They Scam?

In 2022, Irina and Anna joined forces to create TicketMeta — a so-called innovative blockchain-based ticketing platform. However, behind the glossy presentations and “business plans,” their real aim is to extract money from unsuspecting investors.
