Key points of deception:
Lied about attending a K-1 visa interview in Kiev, after accepting payment for the trip. She later sent a copy of supposed visa denial letter in Skype. But the embassy confirmed that she never attended the visa interview. $1,700 plus $500 was sent to her for the airline ticket from Odessa to Kiev, and for taxis, and for an apartment in Kiev, and for the embassy & medical clinic fees, and for a coat & shoes for Kiev because she said it was cold in Kiev. But, as per the embassy, she never came to the interview & thus apparently never went to Kiev.
Included in posting is a detailed report, and a copy of the October 18, 2010 letter I sent to the U.S. embassy in Kiev about Viktoriya (scroll down toward the bottom of the post for this letter).
Other related history:
Sent $500 as an emergency loan for a friend of Viktoriya's. Then, while Viktoriya was supposedly in Kiev for the embassy interview, supposedly the friend wired to Viktoriya via Western Union the $500 because Viktoriya had run out of money in Kiev - yes Viktoriya told me this.
Bought a $900 computer for her which then was supposedly fried by the power system there. Sent another $900 for the computer to be completely repaired since it was supposedly burned inside.
Replaced several stolen cellphones.
Sent $500 to repair a car that had been damaged by improper driving by Viktoriya.
Sent $300 for Viktoriya to take a work seeking trip to Donetsk.
Sent $200 for Viktoriya to join a professional lawyer society in Odessa.
More details about all that was sent are further down in this report, as are the key details of the discovered fraud.

-------------------------
Note in our September 22nd Skype exchange I offer to pay for her airline ticket online or to send 1582 grivnas so she can go to the airport and pay (for her to attend the K-1 visa embassy interview in Kiev). We also had a webcam chat about this. She of course wants to buy the ticket herself - apparently because she has no intention of going - keep reading...

Note: $1,200 was given to Viktoriya for her trip to Kiev for the embassy interview. This money was for the embasy visa fee, plus for taxis, plus for an apartment in Kiev, plus for a coat and shoes she needed for the trip, since as she said at the time it's very cold in Kiev. Also while she was supposedly in Kiev, she told me that she asked her friend to wire to her via Western Union $500 which I had lent to her friend previously, because in Kiev supposedly Viktoriya ran out of money. But, Viktoriya never went to Kiev. The embassy confirmed this. She never showed up for the embassy interview.

Here is where I paid Viktoriya $500 for a plane ticket to Kiev. But she never went to Kiev, as per the statement from the embassy that she never showed for her interview.
So that's $1,200 plus $500 plus the $500 which her friend supposed wired to her and which now cannot be returned to me (since it was a previous emergency loan to her friend), for a total of $2,200 lost as a result of a trip to Kiev which apparently never took place.

Here is where I send $500 for an emergency loan to a friend of Viktoriya. Viktoriya called me in the middle of the night urgenty requesting this loan.
Then, last week (Oct 5, 2010 week) she claimed that while she was in Kiev on her trip to the embassy, she ran out of money, and had her friend wire to her this $500 via Western Union.
But she never went to Kiev. And so this extra $500 loaned to her friend on an emergency basis is lost as well.

[10/12/2010 12:42:58 AM] Anastasova Viktoriya: hello are you sleep
[10/12/2010 12:43:22 AM] Me: I've been working on the visa issue. But soon I hope to go to bed.

[2:50:44 AM] Anastasova Viktoriya: hello i am back yesterday in night and take back all my dokuments
[2:50:51 AM] Anastasova Viktoriya: how are you
[3:14:42 AM] Anastasova Viktoriya: I have read letters which you to me have sent by e-mail. Yes it was once again pleasant to me to see your good and a careful altitude to me. Thanks for your anxiety. It is not very a pity to me that I could receive the visa because of the unemployment. I thought that we will meet you in the end of a month, but probably it will not turn out. On it, at all I do not know as to do. I am upset.
-----------------------------
She claimed to me over a voice chat session that she went to Kiev, had her medical clinic check, had her embassy interview, and left her passport with the embassy. Then on Wednesday the 13th she claims that she went to the embassy again to reetrieve her passport after the supposed denial. Notice above where she says "hello i am back yesterday in night and take back all my dokuments." This is where she is claiming that she returned to the embassy in Kiev to retrieve her passport after the supposed denial.
But she forgot with her deception to take into account the courier service they have for passport delivery. So it's lie upon lie upon lie. Lying about going. Lying about buying a plane ticket. Lying about getting an apartment, about the taxis, about calling her girlfriend who I had loaned $500 to previously - calling to this friend to have that $500 wired to her via Western Union while she was in Kiev because she supposedly ran out of money while she was there. Lying abou the denial. Lying about going to Kiev again to retrieve her documents after the supposed denial. And continuing to lie to me this week about the matter, as you shall see...

In her October 13 Skype message where she transmitts the supposed denial letter Viktoriya says it's a pity she was denied due to unemployment. But unemployment is not normally a reason for K-1 visa denial, from what I've been told.
On October 14 Viktoriya sent the following message in Skype and via email:

I had asked Viktoriya to show me her screen in Skype, so that I could see the denial letter myself.
Then later on October 14 Viktoriya called to me using a voice call in Skype. She said she was angry and upset, and that she had told her mother about the situation and that her mother was upset as well. Then she hung up on me. She still claimed in this voice call that she did not lie to me.
Previously Viktoriya had claimed that during the week of October 5 she flew to Kiev, had the clinic visit, had the embassy interview, and that she left her passport with them. Then later this week she claimed that she returned to Kiev for her passport, after receiving a denial letter.
On October 15 I received the following message from the embassy:

Subject: RE: October 14 request
Dear Mr. []:
In response to your email of October 14, 2010, we inform you the following.
Question 1: Would you please call to your contracted medical clinic in Kiev and ask if Ms. Anastasova attended an exam, last week or at any time. She reportedly had an appointment scheduled for October 5. But did she attend your contracted clinic at any time last week or ever?
The answer is No. Our employees have contacted the clinic and they were informed that Ms. Anastasova did not take medical examination.
Question 2: Please confirm that Ms. Anastasova did not meet with anyone at the embassy nor at any embassy location in Kiev last week.
When I called this week to the consular section I confirmed that she never came for an interview. Please confirm this in writing to me. And thank you very much for your help on this specific item.
Ms. Anastasova’s visa interview was scheduled for October 7, 2010, however, she failed to show up.
Question 3: Please confirm that your embassy did not take from Mr. Anastasova her passport, last week. And please confirm that your embassy did not return to Ms. Anastasova her passport to her this week, in person, via her coming to Kiev to the embassy in both cases.
Since Ms. Anastasova did not show up for her visa interview, we did not take a passport from her.
Question 4: Please confirm that your embassy did not send to Ms. Anastasova the following email, and that your contracted "visa information service" that schedules embassy interview appointments did not sent it either.
The email you have attached looks like a confirmation email that an applicant receives from our call center. We have contacted the call center and they confirmed that they sent the confirmation to Ms. Anastasova on September 5, 2010, however, the content of the letter was different. In the call center’s email there was standard information about time and place of the visa interview and the appointment confirmation number. All the confirmation emails from the call center have standard text, and the call center is not authorized to change it. It is obvious that the text from the email you have attached was changed, but it definitely was not changed by the call center’s employees. Only Consular officer can determine applicant’s eligibility or ineligibility for certain visa type. Such determination is possible only during the visa interview where the applicant must be physically present. In case of refusal we do not send any notifications via email.
We are sorry we could not provide you with more positive information, however, we hope you will find our answers helpful.

Viktoriya received the embassy letter where they state that she never showed up and so on. And yet on October 16 she still said she went.
The woman is crazy & a great danger to your time, life, and wallet.

Quote of October 18, 2010 letter to the U.S. embassy about Viktoriya:
=========================================================================================
Regarding the October 11 fifteen page letter that I sent to your section, via fax, email, and regular mail, I am embarrassed about this letter that I sent. The reason I am embarrassed is because I have discovered that I have been defrauded by Ms. Viktoriya Anastasova in this case.
Recently Ms. Anastasova transmitted to me the following message via Skype (as directly quoted from the Skype log on my computer):

[10/11/2010 7:17:41 AM] Me: Greetings. I am asking online about what our options are for appeal and so on. I hope to have more information soon. The embassy is closed today for a holiday.
[10/11/2010 2:25:57 PM] Me: Dear Viktoriya. I have drafted a four page letter in response. I will fax the letter to the embassy tonight, so that they can read it Tuesday morning Kiev time. Later when you are online I will send a copy of the letter I am sending to them.
[October 12:]
[12:41:51 AM] Me: Hello.
[12:42:58 AM] Anastasova Viktoriya: hello are you sleep
[12:43:22 AM] Me: I've been working on the visa issue. But soon I hope to go to bed.
As you can see from the Skype log quoted above (the Ukrainian language text quoted), Viktoriya claims that your embassy wrote to her a visa denial letter. In your supposed denial letter, your office supposedly mentions a chatting time frame of six months.
My October 11 fifteen page letter to your office was a response to this Ukrianian-language message I received from Viktoriya in Skype. But now I find that this message which supposedly came from your office denying the visa, this message from your office to Viktoriya was never sent by your office. Instead, it was apparently either drafted by Viktoriya herself or perhaps by her father – both are lawyers in Odessa.
As per my October 11th direct phone call to the consular section, I found out that Viktoriya never attended her October 7 interview in Kiev.
Last week Viktoriya represented to me that she had gone to Kiev for her interview. Before her supposed trip to Kiev she showed to me a supposed airline ticket receipt on a Skype webcam chat session. And after her supposed trip to Kiev she described to me how she had met a friendly man at your embassy who interviewed her. She had supposedly told this man what our relationship had been, why she wanted to come to America, and so on. And she said that this man smiled at her at the conclusion of the interview and supposedly said to her “your interest in coming to America to live with your fiance seems genuine, but it is not up to me to decide.” Viktoriya told me all this in a Skype webcam conversation we had last week.
But, Viktoriya never came to your embassy for her scheduled interview. And she never attended the contracted medical clinic in Kiev either.
I must say that this whole matter has been a near complete surprise.
The near daily conversations I have had with Ms. Anastasova since January. All the time we’ve spent talking. Her intentions seemed genuine.
But, I am sorry to say, as per the October 11 Ukrainian-language supposed email she transmitted in Skype to me, Viktoriya has misrepresented a visa denial from your embassy.
So she did lie to me about coming to Kiev for an interview there. She apparently lied about the purchase of an airline ticket for Kiev, about having to pay for an apartment in Kiev, for taxis from Borispol to Kiev, for food in Kiev. She lied about attending the clinic. She lied about leaving her passport with your office. She lied about the denial. She lied about leaving her passport with your office. She lied about returning Kiev to pick up her passport after the denial.
And here is a quote from an October 14 email:

And here is a quote from a Skype message she sent on October 16:

I request that this case be closed (case []), at my request.
My apologies for the lengthy October 11 dated fifteen page letter I sent earlier, sent via several methods.
After devoting nearly a year to this endeavor, and ten months of intense chatting with Ms. Anastasova, and all the resources devoted, I am disappointed at this outcome. But thanks for processing my I-129F in this case.
Here where I live, I did have motivation to find a good job, and to get a house, and to fix up my yard, and to grow a nice new crop of green grass – all because of my motivations to make a nice home for someone to live here with me. I shared with Viktoriya many hours of videos and as much of my life as I could – so that she would be put at ease at coming. But I am sorry to say that all this time I devoted was apparently for nothing, with the exceptions as noted.
This level of deception, where I trusted Viktoriya to come to Kiev, and when she did not & lied about it, and when she claims she receives a denial letter from your embassy, a letter you did not send, I do not see how any sort of reasonable relationship can sustain this level of deception.
So I will move forward. I have contacted online support groups regarding this matter. If there is something you can do to prevent Ms. Anastasova from defrauding other men in the future, I would appreciate it. And please make note of the fact that my intentions in this endeavor were genuine and honest, even if at the last moment we found out that I was being defrauded by Ms. Anastsova.
Thanks again for your time.
