New Romance Scam - Ekaterina/Tatyana Romanova

New here, just thought i'd go around some of the forums I could find to post this one up to warn people about.
The email used by this scammer is [email protected]

The email is typical from the start that sets off the red flags.


Hey! your name Static? I have a whole day spent at work. You have a rest today?
I attach a photo to the letter. If you have enough photos. I can send you more? In return! I would like to receive your photos. Ok?
I met you because I like your profile.
I would like you to answer some questions.
1 What are your plans for me?
2 for what purpose you were on a dating site Zoosk?
3 You want to meet with me? First, let's get acquainted? We get to know each other!
I am Ekaterina, I am 31 years. I work in a beauty salon, barber shop in. I spend most of their lives at work. Because of my busy schedule, I had no time left on the man's quest. Why are you still single? All women look only at the money and wealth? I'm right? Unfortunately, the world is now gone all the money. True love, even at this point no one appreciates. But I'm not like, I like the red Mustang 1985 issue, buyout dusty and in need of attention. Do you understand? I want to find a good man and true love! People say that to find someone with whom you're ready to spend the rest of his life, the Internet is simply unrealistic. But I heard a lot of stories about how people learn about the Internet, and often find their soul mate, my love! Build a family, have children, and live a happy life together! I believe in it. You believe?
I look forward to your response.
We are friends for? Now I'm your friend!
Ekaterina.

Normally, I'd ignore it since the person had a profile listed in the states and claimed to be from russia but for some reason, after seeing the photos I wanted to be able to shut them down and warn others away. Took a few weeks to find a multitude of social media sites they're stealing these photos from and I'll list them here so people can keep an eye out for future reference so as not to be fooled. The last email really cinched it like the joke the person is cause instead of listing their name in the letter as ekaterina, they put tatyana. More than likely out of confusion of who they were emailing from attempting to do this with multiple other people I imagine. If reverse image search doesn't turn things up just wait, they're doing photo flipping with some of the originals so they don't show up on google but they did start to turn up on xxxxx. Sorry if this is long winded for a first time post, but this person needs put on serious blast for what they're doing. If someone fell for it and actually traveled to russia to meet with them, they could end up out of a large sum of money and in serious danger and all over a pretty face. If this person isn't the one in the photos, they're as much a victim too. I would however not suggest contacting them if found, it would only make matters worse. Better to report this to the consulates and local authorities in both countries if someone actually did do something in that manner.

I don't know who this person is but they were the typical scammer albeit of the indirect sort. Did not demand or ask for money but left the option up in the air. When telling them you would come visit them in russia, they were open to the idea of such which presents an even larger danger for a petty scam. I suspect anyone that follows through on that with this person is opening themselves up to being kidnapped and sold as human traffic if not worse.

IP Address in the headers traced back to moscow, russia and this person claims to be from orenburg, russia.
92.63.102.65

Thought i'd add a few more of the emails I received so people will be able to find the letters on a search if they come across this person cause most of these are definitely copied from a really bad translator with the scammer only adding in what they want when necessary.

Hello my friend Static! I am very glad to get another letter from you. And my spirits rose at one point! Incidentally, I was worried, what if you do not answer me more! Suddenly I do not like, or maybe hurt you than ever! But I am happy that our contacts began, and has continued, I hope that in the future our relationship will go just fine!

Hello my dear friend Static!
I told you, that works as a hairdresser, from Monday to Saturday. My work schedule depends on the people, coming for a hairstyle. There are days that come only 1 or 2 people. But I can not leave their workplace and leave. From what envy your job? You are days that the work had nothing to do?
I went to school 11 classes. After high school, I enrolled in the University, he studied economics, and in parallel to the University, I took courses stylist Barber! After graduation, I could not find work in the profession, and went to work as a hairdresser in a beauty salon. In the future I will find a job in their profession, but now I do not have time for this.
I have parents, I live with my mother and father in the apartment. I have a grandmother, she lives in Sakmarskaya village, at a distance of 50 kilometers from the city. I love my grandmother, and I try to visit her as often as possible. Before I went to see her on the weekend, now I have no time. I'm very bored and lonely that I can not see it for many days. When I come to her village, she smiles and is happy. I became very sad at heart, and I want to sit with my grandmother, and did not go no where. But I can not quit my job, and everything else. I have to leave. You would be sad if you could not see your grandparents?
Static, you are looking for a rich woman? I'm not looking for a rich man, as do many women now! I'm not interested in wealth and expensive gifts. The most important thing for me, so that my husband could provide all the necessary family! And the rest, I think a woman should do. She should be able to feed a family, you need to clean clothes, clean the house. But many women do not want to do it. They prefer to have a maid. Do prepare food for the family, it is bad? Have to do the cleaning in the house, it's bad? In the morning to accompany her husband to work with a delicious breakfast and in the evening to meet with a delicious dinner! This is a real family happiness! And I want this!
You want a woman to meet you in your home, with a smile and open arms at home? Now I will finish my letter. I do not want to bore you to my letter was long. I hope you will answer my questions, and send your photos?
I'll be waiting for your letters. Your dear Ekaterina.

My feelings are very real, and my absolute intention.
I wanted to talk to you seriously. My mother insisted that I went to see you. She says if I do, pull the time, you can stop loving me. But I do not think that this is possible between us? But I still started to think about it. As the time goes really fast. And we can just lose our time in the shuffle, and anything to lose each other because of our offenses, or not understanding. I want between us was mutual understanding and honesty. I always told you everything I have been honest with you. I hope you've always told me the truth, and never cheated on me?

I'm trying to figure out why the xxxxx this asswipe is still emailing me but it's gotten amusing now. guess they're watching forums? poor fool is butthurt i've killed his game lol.

Hello my love Static!
I'm shocked after reading your letter. You're blaming me that I stole the pictures? I am a real woman in the photo. You found all of these sites vk. And you think I stole someone else's photos of women? I'm shocked. I have no words.
I really love you, and I never cheated on you. Why would I do that? I think that you yourself create a profile on vk, and put my pictures on the website. Did you do that? I do not understand why you did it?
I'm shocked to see all my photos online.
You say check my address IP. I have no idea why Moscow? I told you I live in Orenburg, and use the Internet Cafe to talk to you. You need to ask questions in the Internet cafe, where I use the computer to write to you.
I'm shocked by all that you told me.
I understand that all information that you have found provocative. I understand that you think I'm kidding you. But I did not lie to you ever. I have never told you lies.
On the Internet you can find just about anything, and to blame for the post due to the fact that there is.
I can also find all your photos on different sites, with different names. And to tell you. What are you a liar. But I do not do this. I'm not accusing you of lying.
I am shocked by what you have done! I found viewtopic.php?f=13&p=291964
If you do not remove it. I'll go to the police to Interpol. You will have trouble with the law. Libel and laid out the information, you will be judged by the law of Interpol.
I have always told you the truth.
I think you started all this specifically. And you put my photos on the Internet. Why? I dont know.

He found this thread because you accused him of being a scammer and taught him about searching for photos.

So, he will now take 30 seconds out of his life and change his fake ID and photos and your warning is now worthless and we possibly won't find his new fake identity until a victim posts after paying him.

I actually didn't accuse him of being one. I got that email just this morning and I hadn't even mentioned anything about this to him in any email correspondence other than I thought he was lying and left it at that. if he found this that fast, he's got a <removed> profile on here more than likely.
