Information on romance scams and scammers.

This is a PSA-a Moscow scammer posing as a pediatric infectious disease specialist in a city just about on the Arctic Circle. Her original profile on OkCupid was erases before I could save it-but she claimed to be from Cleveland and of course was pretty vague about why there was a difference in origin!

I am posting in hopes that someone may be googling her scripts and may arrive here. I could not find a match for her photos on Google Image or Tineye so I'm a little hesitant to post them.

Recipient's name deleted from header...

Thanks that you give me your email. Now I can tell to you more
about me! My name is Elena. My height – 167cm, and weight - 64 kg. Now
to me of 35 years, and my birthday - on June, 23th. When is your
Birthday?

I live in Russia, in city Usinsk. Its Komi Republic. I born here) It
in North part of Russia, in 5000 km from Moscow. Here lives about 49
thousand persons. My city is so named because it is on the river Usa)
I do like my motherland, it’s so beautiful here. There are many sights
worth to see. In my childhood I dreamt to become actress. It’s very
popular dream between girls, I think.)) Whom did you dream to become
in the childhood?? I will try to guess. Probably pilot or the
policeman?? But my dream did not become true.I have finished Medical
University in Syktyvkar. Its nearest big city from Usinsk. Then
returned in native city to work as the doctor - a pediatrist in
children's hospital. My education consists of 3 levels: school,
college, university. I have finished university when I was 26. Now I
work a pediatrician at Children's Hospital in Usinsk. I have been
treating children from various viral diseases. And prevention of
various diseases. I love my job. I like to communicate with children
and help them!

Usually my working day was from 8am until 5pm. But sometimes I work on
weekends. Every day I wake up early in the morning at 6.30 to have
time to take a shower, to have a breakfast. For some people work is
burden, but not for me. My work makes me satisfied. Sometimes I stay
at work to use the Internet. There are many stories with happy final
about man and woman from different countries. They met each other in
the Internet and it helps them to have a meeting in real time. I dream
to have a man with me, with whom I feel myself comfortable. I so want
to love and be loved. I want to care, to feel, to be happy. I dream to
make my man the happiest man in all over the world.

I hope you liked my letter and will answer me. I will be waiting for
your A mail with impatience! I will be very happy if you write me
about your dreams, life, opinions about relations between men and
women, about place where you live. You can tell me about everything
you consider important. And in my next letter I will answer on all
your questions! I hope you like it.
Best regards)

Second script:

Yes, i like travel. I regret for the wrong
data on dating site. But at first I didn't think of gravity of
communication with men from other countries. Until saw your profile.
Now I would like to communicate with you and to learn more about you.
If you don't mind. What do you think of it? Let's continue
communication? Thanks for your letter to me. Me has very much pleased,
that you have answered me. Tell me true, do you wait for my letters so
impatiently as me? I would like to know about your ideas about our
acquaintance. May be you want to know me better and have some ideas? I
would like to know more about you, I want to be closer with you. May
be you have some frank questions? I wish to tell to you I about the
dreams. I wish to have a nice family. My future the man should be
sincere, with good sense of humour, gentle and kind. I think, that it
not the big requirements to the man. Simply I wish to be happy! I the
lonely girl and me have bothered one and a half year it. I Wish to
meet love! As you know already I had relations with man in the past,
but they brought to me only disappointments. It is so great you can
find time to write me. It's my first time of meeting in the internet
and I really hope to find my second half. It's a pity there are many
idiots on meeting sites, also many liars! But at the same it's
possible to meet real love. In Russia there is a saying on such case -
"One rotten egg can spoil all fried eggs." I think, that in your
country there is a similar saying. Now I am compelled to finish my
letter. I wish you all the best. I will look forward to hearing from
you with impatience.
Yours faithfully Elena

Pieces of this show up at some other scam sites but I seem to be the only one with an e-mail and header.
