Hi,
can anyone tell me how to get proof that someone is a scammer?
i have done an online photo search with the photos she sent me but no luck,
i have a friend who i believe is being scammed, i tried to tell her at first i thought she believed me but i have now learnt she has sent him money and that they worked things out and she said he is 100% real.
i know the signs because many years ago it nearly happened to me i thought the guy was real but as soon as he asked for money i knew, i told him i had no money and deleted him, i later found out his photos were from a modeling agency...
this is the 3rd time someone has tried to scam my friend, the first time someone else told her it was a scam the second i told her but at that point they had not asked for money but this time he asked for money and she sent him 2 thousand, he says he is a construction contractor and has been paid millions for his last job but he cant get the money until he pays 3 thousand first. he says he is from Dallas Texas.
i'm so worried about her she was so stressed and upset the other day she feels she is failing him because shes having a hard time getting more money for him, she told me she wants to sell her stuff to help him, she said they will marry once he gets his millions and can come meet her.
i have tried and tried to tell her its a scam but she believes he is real, how can i convince her he is scamming her? i am very worried for her as she has been through hard times and also suffered depression.
any advice would be most grateful
thanks
