This scam was pretty elaborate. But to be honest, I tried to become friends with @elena2017 but was unsuccessful. I was fooled though into thinking that mayber her English was a bit difficult. This was really disgusting to learn, especially since she often would make posts in my honor. The person behind this account (or accounts) is trickier and more strategic than most, because of the scam of hiring the real artist to paint my portrait. It's truly disgusting to learn that the scammer would use Elena's real identity to profit. Thank you for your amazing service of investigating these scams. Steemit is very grateful to you! i have Resteemed, and Upvoted at my full strength (but since I just flagged all of @elena2017's posts, I am weak now!). Help is needed from the community to reduce the reputation of yet another scammer.

I had enough sp to bury her post of your painting
thanks. I visited the real Elena in Facebook and told her that her scammer is being destroyed right now. Thanks.
Hectic stuff hey..
Unbelievable what these people do to scam, missing a lot during vacation or other flag drama these days, glad the scammer is getting deserved down votes though @stellabelle
