Every disaster is an opportunity as far as Lads are concerned, and the Russian invasion of Ukraine is no exception.
The scammer's emails are date-stamped. I've changed only the scammer's first name. My comments are in bold.
"Goossens" is not a name I'd associate with Ukrainians; it sounds more Flemish.
11 April 2022 Dear Sir, I am Ms. Krystal Goossesn from Ukraine i have just except Death from the War going on in Ukraine,Between Ukraine and Russia and my reason of contacting you is to help me relocate to your Country where i can be safe. Further detail about myself will be revealed to you once i hear from you accepting to assist me relocate to your Country through your help God bless you as you will do that
Ms Krystal Goossens
I decided to bypass my usual question about finding my email address.
Ms Goossens I'm willing to help you, as far as I'm able. Please explain further. Regards Malcolm Reynolds
13 April Dear Sir Thanks a lot for your concerns about my well being and i am very please that you the good people of the World are willing and ready to help us out from the War Situation and for even thinking about it may God in His Infinite Mercy bless you. Sir, I must confess that it took me this long to write you back because i and a lot of people where trying to leave Ukraine through Poland and it have not been easy as we are presently stock with the Russian all over the place,however i have lost all i have ever work and live for all my life time and i have no telephone access and access to internet is limited through the help of a friend that gave me access to write you through his internet while on transit,So as you can see sir Bomb is all over Ukraine and i came to seek for you help to help me leave in your Country out of this War. Sir,my main trouble is i need Money that can take me out to where i can at least be safe and prepare myself to travel to your Country and if you can help me with any little financial assistant i must be appreciative and thankful to you for the rest of my life as i have already lost everything that i live for including my Husband,my Two children to the war and i am left alone hoping that you will financially help me to get out of this war tragedy God bless you Krystal Goossens
Ms Goossens I'm sorry for your loss. Believe me, I understand what that means. I'm a retired US Marine. I've seen what war does to civilians. That still gives me nightmares. There is a slight complication; I'm an American citizen living in Australia. I'll have to check if I can help to get you here. Where are you now? Regards Malcolm Reynolds
14 April Dear Sir With tears and sorrow in my heart please help me before the Russian will kill me with the Bombs as the kill my two kids and husband please i beg of you. I am in western city of UKRAINE Lviv under hiding from Russian Bomb and i will appreciate if you send the money to me through the Help of the RED CROSS officer who as trying to help me out. Sir,as of my PICTURE i will send you to you as soon as i find any as i already lost everything name them items as my International passport, phone ,money, Clots and many valuable items and as i am writing you i am empty only living at the mercy of my RED CROSS HELPER. Please come out and save my from been killed by the Russian Bomb with the hope that soon i will be in your Country with you God bless You Ms. Krystal Goossens
Ms Goossens So how much do you need, and how do I get it to you? Malcolm Reynolds
15 April Dear Sir, I am heading towards Poland Border and i need you to as a matter of urgency send me some money Sir,And that i want it done through Means as some one have promised me that he can assist me receive it through Bitcoins Based on that Sir i am so much under illusion and pains as i have been on one cloth for weeks now and only go on a meal per days so right now i need a lifeline that can sustain me as i head towards Poland border,Hence Sir,please i need a sum of $2000 as a lifeline to help me sustain my movement as well as getting some personal item i needed for myself.

Ms Goossens To be honest, I don't trust Bitcoin! I have my reasons. Isn't there another way?
Malcolm Reynolds
16 April DeaSir I must also confess that i felt the same way as you did but the fact remains that in times of war every one is an enemy and every one can also be a friend because some one that gave you an ideas of how to leave and escape Bomb and bullet in war time can be regarded as a friend in time of war.Hence i am pleading that you understand my situation because my situation is critical at this point. Sir,having heard what you said i so much believe you that things can go wrong in any way through bit coins but at this point where bombing is all over the place i will try my luck and that luck will see me through.Sir,before i said bit coins i know it could go either way but the person that will receive this bit coins is some one i can tell you i trusted so much at this point because he once save me from Bullet and bombing and also i have been under his care despite the fact that the war is on and every one is on his or her own but this person stood by me and i must open up this secret to you that while i am alive today is because of him,this person feed me by giving me food and while i was hungry for days and he asked me to be strong and live for Ukraine and those that love Ukraine. Based on the situation on ground Sir i want to say that the person that will receive this Bit coins for me is a reputable person that i can trust and i want you to hold me responsible if anything goes wrong and i take such responsibility that such will be regarded as my fault.. In view of of this Sir My situation asked for an urgent Redeem and i look up to you for that redeem Mission so as i have told you i want to get out of here because i will be trying to head to Poland Border despite the bombing and bullet i will take such risk because i want to be alive and to be with you since i have lost all in Ukraine i need some one like you that care so much for a hopeless and homeless woman like me. God bless you Ms.Krystal Goossens
Ms Goossens It's a small thing, considering, but please use my name. It's not much to ask. However, to essentials. I know nothing about how to use Bitcoin, or even how to get hold of it. No-one I know uses it, for the same reason that I don't trust it. Advise me. Malcolm Reynolds
Do some work, scammer!

16 April Dear r You said it all and i believe you, i asked the person if there can be another way and he said yes but i should give him time to source and find out so Sir as soon as this my helper come with another way then i will let you know. please Sir don't be offended that i tried to force you into bit coins sorry if thazt offended you. God bless you. Krystal Goossens
"Dear r"? Is that all?
Ms Goossens So what happens now? We're at an impasse. Regards Malcolm Reynolds
Now she gets Mal's full name right! Methinks "she" is delaying things until she's got another mule....
17 April Dear Malcolm Reynolds Sir, Thanks a lot for you response and concerns and as it is not an impasse yet because i talk with some one that wanted to help me on how i can receive this money to assist me and these person was ready to help me with details on how this money can get to me and he has told me of a possibility of receiving the money on my behalf through either any of this means from a Neighboring County and i believe that can be perfect because as it is you can't send money to me in Ukraine as that could be dangerous.. Sir,please note this person that wanted to help me left yesterday to bury his Relations that was killed by Russia Army with Bomb and have not come back to me but he promised me that he will be coming back to see me by Tuesday after the Burial of his relations and he will then assist me to receive the money through one of his Relation outside Ukraine, So Sir i will as soon as he give the details forward it to you but off course i know it will not be through Bit Coin because i told him i don't want bit coin. Sir,with this i can tell you i will be able to receive this money from you as i am believing that you are just making me to live again and have hope because you gave me hope when i have no hope and was hopeless as i can now believe that i can make it out of This war alive to soon be with you after losing all i have live for including my late husband and Children God bless you for caring and giving hope to be alive once again. God bless you. Ms.Krystal Goossens
Ms Goossens Things are in your hands. I can't do anything until you find a way. And you need to act to secure your passage to Australia. Find the nearest Australian embassy when you can and make a start. Malcolm Reynolds

Seems like a bit of prostitution could put some lining in the purse. I wonder what his answer to that would be.

It's almost like this scammer needs me to tell "her" what to do next!
Ms Goossens I'm waiting for you to do whatever is needed for me to help you. Just do what you must. Malcolm Reynolds
21 April Dear Malcolm Reynolds Sir, what i need to do next is to send you either the information in which you need to send this money across to me through my helper and once you say yes then i will get the information from my helper where you can send this money to me either through bank account or Transfer agent Though my helper told me that he can only help me top receive the money through either any of this Country.Germany,Italy or Turkey and i will want to know from you if i should go ahead to collect the receiving details from him and send to you.

This one is becoming painful.
22 April Dear Malcolm Reynolds Sir Yes i said three Countries because as it is i cannot received any money on my own and by myself because i don;t have any documents to do so as all my documents and personal ID like passport was bomb and born during the Russian attack and bombing which toke the life of my Two Children and Husband,Sop based on that the person that will assist me to receive any financial help from outside Ukraine said that he can do so through Germany,Italy or Turkey and as it is in Ukraine the banks are not working because of the Russian Bombing and even if the bank is working no one will want to take the risk to avoid been hit by the Russian Bomb. Based on that Sir he said that if her can help me receive any money it will be through any of this Country i mentioned to you.In view of this Situation Sir i don't know how possible you can send money to this Country and if you can please Sir i want to hear from you as my situation as at this point demand your urgent help to me Sir.

In fact the Marines took just over a month to conquer Iwo Jima, but never mind.

Ms Goossens Everything I try to do for you is going south and it's like for every solution you have a problem! Just give me the details for this helper of yours, and make them good, OK? At the rate things have gone, we might as well wait for the Russians to retreat from Ukraine. Malcolm Reynolds
"Krystal" sends details of two different receivers.
17 May (sent twice)
Dear Malcolm Reynolds Sir, i confess that i have wrong you by all the trouble i might have cause to you but please forgive me please sir and in order to correct that i think i made a little mistake when typing the account as this account is what my helper give me as well as name and information you can send the money through western union if possible. The account have been corrected as stated below: FOR BANK ACCOUNT TRANSFER INFORMATION: BENEFICIARY NAME: REDACTED IBAN :REDACTED BIC: REDACTED Sir,i believe you and i trust in your ability to help me out of this war zone in UKRAINE and when i will relocate to be with you in your Country will show you how grateful i am in all that you have done for me by showing feeling and concerns about my situation. As i am forwarding this account details to you i want to so much thank you for give me hope when i have no such hope and was hopeless due to devastation the War has cause in my life. However sir if you want to send it though western union here is also the name and information you can send it as well FOR WESTERN UNION TRANSFER: NAME: REDACTED CITY ; BERLIN COUNTRY : GERMANY Sir,i know you are very much in order of what you said but please and please do not abandon me at this time of my so much need of help because i lay my hope in your please sir i beg of you that is why i put the account and the western union details so that any of this can work out please i beg of you. God bless you. Ms.Krystal Goossens
19 May
Dear Malcolm Reynolds, Sir, The names and information i send tom you was giving to me by the person that is helping me to get the money across to me and it is not by my own making that it was done so but the person who is to receive this money on my behalf provided it and said it is for the reason that if you could not do it through bank transfer you can as well send it through western Union Money transfer that was why he give me that name to give to so that you can try any of the options. So Sir if you will understand me you know that i have no power to take my own decision as this my helper is the person that will get this money to me from Germany and i have to follow what he provided in order for you to successful send the money across to me ,Hence that is the reason for the sending of the account details and the names i sent to you. Based on that i will want to know sir when you can be able to send it to me and is it going to be through western union or account transfer. I wait to hear from you. God bless you. Ms.Krystal Goossens
I decided on some mischief (I wish I'd been right!)
Mr Goossens The Russians are retreating everywhere. You should be able to go back. Malcolm Reynolds
20 May Deasr Sir, I heard you and will find out if what you said is true. God bless you. Ms.Krystal Goossens
21 May
Dear Malcolm Reynolds Sir, If actually you want to help me do so without making me to suffer expectation and hopelessness while waiting for your help,This is is all i am asking of you and i will appreciate it if you will go ahead and help me because i really want to relocate out of ukraine for now. God bless you. Ms.Krystal Goossens
Four days later, I dropped a brick on "Krystal's" hopes.
Ms Goossens Now here's a funny thing. I tried to send money as you requested, but the agents at Moneygram and Western Union both warned me that I would be sending money to a scammer, and they even showed me evidence. It looked compelling to me. Malcolm Reynolds
It took a few days for "Krystal" to react.
30 May Dear Malcolm Reynolds , Sir, Western Union or Money Gram can be right by what the said and such i must confess existed all over the place but i am not one of such and i will never be,Sir if actually you really want to help me a dying woman you should consider my situation here and send this money to me because i am dying here . Though i will never doubt what you said but please Sir because of Go help me i want to relocate to your Country Sir i am not either scam or whatever i am Ms.Krystal Goossens and i am dying of things i do not know about please Sir Consider this fact that this help you may do because of God Sir because i will save a life like mine. God bless you. Ms.Krystal Goossens
You say you're "not one of such" but the evidence says otherwise. I was shown many examples, not only of emails using your name, but many others using the war in Ukraine as a means to deceive people into sending money to scammers. Using Ukraine's suffering for fraud is disgusting.
2 June Dear Sir, So you cannot help me? is that what you mean? God Bless you. Ms.Christiana Goossens
No, the question is; should I help you?
2 June Dear Malcolm Reynolds Sir what is your final words on this? are you still going to help me? i want to hear from you to say either yes or no so that i will know where i stand with you as regards this issues of helping me. God bless you Sir. Ms.Christiana Goossens
Given that you didn't even try to rebut what the agents said, the answer must be no.
"Krystal" never responded...
Thanks for reading.
