Natalya Lyuta

Stolen pictures/identity
She claimed to live in Nikopol, attending university there gaining a degree of some medical specialty, but works in the Human Resources department of a place called “Metro” in Nikopol. She claimed the pictures were taken by a friend who aspired to be a professional photographer

Natali requests money to get medical papers/insurance at $100 USD, a traveling visa at $200 USD, an international passport at $250 USD, and a plane ticket at $1227 USD to travel to the USA. After sending her the money and requesting pictures of the passport and plane ticket, she travels to Kiev to stay with a friend called Elena Efimenko. She claims that when she goes to the Kiev airport to make sure she has all of her papers in order, she needs to show $2000 USD in cash in order to leave her country due to COVID-19 concerns and the Ukraine government concern about Ukrainian citizens being stranded abroad without money to return to the Ukraine. pretending to be Vera Avdeeva from Zaporizhia on AdultFriendFinder.com. The current AFF ID is 2020lady2020. I caught on to it from the start, so no harm has been done to me, but maybe put up another warning.

Linked Fake Passport: Elena Panina

This case also appears to include another fake identity document using the name Elena Panina. The submitted image shows what appears to be a fake Ukrainian passport with the name Панина Елена / Elena Panina.

We do not treat this as a separate independent scam case. Based on the available materials, the Elena Panina passport image appears to be part of the same broader fraud pattern connected to the Natalya Lyuta case.

This is important because romance scammers often use several names, several fake documents, and several female identities inside one operation. A victim may believe he is dealing with one woman, while the scammer may switch names, documents, photos, or supporting characters to keep the story alive.

The use of an additional fake Ukrainian passport strengthens the warning signs in this case. A passport image should never be accepted as proof of identity without verification, especially when the same scam pattern involves requests for money for documents, visa support, travel, airfare, insurance, or airport-related payments.
