The pictures look like screen grabs of a zoom call, not really profile pics.
Most romance scammers steal random photos from online. “Nicole” could be a yahoo boy in Lagos, or multiple guys working for a quasi-state approved Russian operation.
I don't think this is a romance scam. The linked matrix basically doxes her workplace and all of her images, like you said, appear to be from a webcam. It looks more like harassment to me.
I've said before and I'll repeat here again that we really ought to be denying recognition to the person behind those messages, whoever they are.
That said, I remember not long ago reading a comment that somebody had actually seen the person in those images livestream, which wouldn't be possible if these were just photos of a person who had nothing to do with it.
