Scam scheme:
The victim met this woman on a dating site called FilipinoCupid and then continued communicating with her on WhatsApp. She introduced herself as “Daria Byvalova”, said she was living in Alchevsk (Luhansk region, Ukraine) and used a long-distance romance story to build trust.
After a few weeks of online dating and several low-quality video calls, she claimed she wanted to travel by taxi from Alchevsk, bypassing the front line, north to Belarus, then to Kyiv and finally to Poland. She said the taxi company was called “Lugantaxi”, with the address “2-й Оборонный проезд, 5, Luhansk city centre”, and that the total cost of this trip would be 600 USD.
She did not ask for money directly at first. Instead, she repeatedly complained that she had nothing to eat and no money to pay for the taxi. When the victim offered financial help, she sent a photo of a Ukrainian passport in the name “Daria Lisina” and asked him to send 600 USD via PayPal to the email address “nadiapantelijcuk@gmail.com”, explaining that this email allegedly belonged to her deceased mother.
Before sending any funds, the victim forwarded the passport photo to our Ukrainian passport verification service. The document was identified as a fake Ukrainian passport used in an online dating scam, and the money transfer was stopped in time.
This case was added to our blacklist as another example of a Luhansk–to–Poland taxi pretext. It also shows why a timely identity check through our verification of Ukrainian and Russian women on dating sites is essential before sending any money.
