# Details: Vika stated she was a dentist working at a clinic in Alushta, Ukraine. Her mom is supposedly a retired school teacher in Kiev. She says she is divorced with no children and that she knows a friend that got to America through an unnamed firm in Kiev. First, she asked for money to help her go to kiev to file an application with the "firm." She said she needed $400. $100 for an initial payment to the "firm" and the rest for air fare, etc. She said she would stay with her mum while in Kiev. Upon her return, she said it would take 2 to 3 months for all to be arranged for a visa. In the mean time, her computer supposedly broke so she would email from an "internet club" there in Alushta. She said she was terribly uncomfortable there and asked for help to purchase a new computer. She asked for $1400 to purchase a new laptop. She said she did not have a phone, and if I could help her get a cell phone, we could talk and then when she was to leave Kiev for the US, she would leave it with her mum so she could call her mum. She needed $400 for the phone. She did give me a cell phone number and I spoke to her many times. Then she wanted a "fashionable" leather suit for $400. She became ill and asked for $100 to help her purchase medication. Also, she wanted to hire an english tutor for $200 for lessons. Two 2 hour lessons weekly for 2 months. Our first communication was in December, 2004 and the last I heard from her was May 22, 2005. April 18, she emailed me and told me that she was to appear at the "firm" April 23. She said this firm trains and assists individuals with obtaining visas and job placement in the US. She said she needed $300 to go to Kiev, $200 to municipal services to obtain a certificate showing the "absence of debts,"in Alushta, $400 for the remainder of the fee to the firm, $100 for " registration of her work," $100 for the medical review, $100 for the interview at the American Embassy. Like a fool, I wired her the money through Western Union. After a few days, she emailed me supposedly from her mum's in Kiev and stated she had forgot and left the cell phone in Alushta. She also said her mum had no phone and she would have to connect her computer to a neighbor's phone line in order to write to me. She also said her neighbors had a summer residence and she could only write when she could catch them at home. As a result, I got an email only every 3 or 4 days. She said all was going well at the firm and that there was a group of women that were to leave together. She wrote and said she passed her medical, etc. After about 3 weeks, she wrote and said an interview at the American Embassy was scheduled. After a few days, she wrote and said she had passed the interview and had received the visa. She said the "firm had to make the flight arrangements to the US. She said the whole group of women were to fly to New York and that upon arrival, a representative from the "firm" was to assist them making flight arrangements to their individual destinations within the US. She said she needed $900 for the air fare and then an additional $500 to " present at the customs house to show herself to be solvent" and to also purchase her final flight from N.Y. to my city. I did that, too. 2 days later, she wrote and said the scheduled departure date was Sunday, June 5, 2005. Two daus later, she wrote and said her mum had vision problems and she was going to take her to a reknowned eye clinic, "Filatova", in Odessa, Ukraine, while she waited for June 5 to arrive. She stated that she wanted to help pay for her mum's medical treatment but her mum would not accept it. She said that if I would and could, wire $400 to her mum directly and she could not refuse it. She said to address the wire to "Alla Kolesnik." She said they would pick up the money at 18/21 Kibalchicha, Kiev. She said treatment would take a week and she would be back in Kiev in plenty of time for the June 5 departure. I wired that money and then received the last correspondence from her on Sunday, May 22. She said she and her mum had purchased tickets to Odessa and they would leave the next day. She said that when she returned, the cell phone would be waiting for her because she had a friend mail it to her in Kiev. She said she would email me as soon as she got back and give me all the details as to flight numbers, arrival time, etc. That is the last I heard from her.
