This post is based on a victim report connected to the name Diana Novikova, also written as Діана Новікова, Ukrainian passport number FD022044, and the phone number +380639967461.
The reported scheme appears to involve a money scam connected to travel and immigration expenses. According to the submitted information, the victim sent money because the woman claimed she needed financial help to complete an immigration or travel-related process. After the payment, the promised trip did not happen and the money was not returned.
The submitted materials include a Ukrainian passport image in the name of Diana Novikova, showing passport number FD022044, date of birth November 2, 1993, and place of birth in Chernivtsi Oblast, Ukraine. A passport image can make a story look more believable, but it does not prove that the person using the document online is genuine or that the travel story is real.
The case also includes payment-related data: a bank card number 5355 280 2004 19487, expiry date 06/22, and cardholder name DIANA NOVIKOVA. This makes the report stronger than a simple photo-based warning because it shows how the communication moved toward a direct financial transaction.
The scam pattern is typical for romance and travel fraud: first, the victim is encouraged to believe that a real meeting is possible; then a practical obstacle appears, such as travel documents, immigration processing, tickets, or financial clearance; finally, the victim is asked to send money before any meeting takes place.
Men should be especially careful when a woman from Ukraine sends a passport and then asks for money for travel, immigration, visa issues, emergency expenses, tickets, border problems, or document processing. The document may be real, copied, altered, stolen, or used by someone who is not the person communicating online.
Before sending money to a woman from Ukraine, use our Ukrainian woman verification service. We can check photos, phone numbers, documents, payment details, dating profiles, and scam-risk patterns before the situation becomes expensive.
If she sends a passport, ID card, visa, immigration document, ticket, or official-looking paper, order a separate Ukrainian passport verification. If money was already sent and you want to understand your options, review our service page about taking action against Ukrainian dating scammers.
