I usually tell people when asking about dating scam artists not to get too hung up on the name, because scam artists don't use their real names, so, chances are, if it is a scam, they're scamming lots of people under different names. For that reason, it's usually more important to look at behavior, rather than the false identity they've created.

However, in this case, that name actually has been reported as linked to multiple dating scams, with a couple of different email addresses (as easily interchangeable as names for these people).

That last one has a picture, but they don't use real pictures, so if it's not the one you've seen, that doesn't mean anything. Scam artists use pictures of real people, stolen off Facebook and other sites, so the person you're looking at is never the person (or, more accurately, people) you're talking to.

This site has some excellent resources on identifying Russian scam artists.

Unfortunately, she probably will. I'm just glad you caught on early.

I don't need them. There are thousands of different pictures being used by scam artist. Since everyone has hundreds of pictures posted publically online now, it's really easy to go through them and pick the nicest-looking ones.

The fact that I found the same person emailing multiple people with the same stuff is enough. Also, on that site I posted - they have a list of things that you often see on Russian scam artists profiles. You should read through that.

You can also use Google to do a reverse image search, which may or may not turn up anything.

They're very good at what they do. That's why they get money from so many people. So, it may not be an exact match, but you'll see some signs. Scam artists frequently claim to have lost their parents, a spouse, or both. It's a way of setting you up - when they ask for money, they want you to know why they couldn't ask family members instead.

That's good. I'm sure she'll appreciate it.

There's not a lot she can do, but she can make her page hidden from public view.
