Svetlana Sirotenko

This profile is based on a victim report and documents submitted under the name Svetlana Sirotenko. The case includes personal photos, a Ukrainian ID card, and a Ukrainian travel passport allegedly used to support the story.

The reported scheme followed a classic step-by-step travel scam pattern. First, she allegedly needed money to arrange a travel passport. Then the story moved to tickets from Rostov-on-Don to the Netherlands. After that, an additional request appeared for a police “statement of good behavior.” Later, the victim was told that she needed tickets for military transport through a war zone.

The final stage of the scheme was the “financial self-reliance” request. According to the report, she claimed that she had to prove she had enough money to stay in the victim’s country for ten days because her income was too low. This is a common romance scam tactic: each request sounds like a separate official requirement, but together they create a controlled chain of payments.

The presence of passport images can make the story look convincing. However, a Ukrainian ID card or travel passport photo does not prove that the person chatting with you is genuine, that the document is valid, or that the travel story is real.

If a woman you met online asks for money for a passport, tickets, police certificates, military transport, border requirements, or proof of financial stability, do not send money before verification. Order a Ukrainian passport check or a full verification of a Ukrainian woman.
