The scammers are abusing stolen pictures of a real person: Spc. Jisook Castro. The scammers stole parts of her biography from an official US Army website: https://www.army.mil/article/200299/for ... f_the_year.
They stole the pictures from the real owner social accounts and from the media articles talking about her.
The real person has nothing to do with the fraudsters pretending to be her online.
Type of messages used in fraud:
Right now, everyone of us is moving out his or her share out of Syria and I right now I have to move my share through the United Kingdom Red cross woman that came to give us treatment as she's about returning to her country today , I contacted a woman among them to help me move my luggage into London and deposit it for me in a security company but i don't have anyone to help me receive it so I'm pleading if you can do me this one favor to receive it and keep it safe for me before I recover fully...I love you and trust you so I need you to help me do this one thing honey.
