help me

Hi, im Nanay from Europe. I know how scammers are acting and have been scammed once, many years ago. But my problem now is, that my best friend is totally in love with a scammer and whatever i have spoken to her, she does not listen...it breaks my heart as i know it will break her heart one day. This guy she is speaking to, she found in a dating site, he claims he is from US Texas but living now back in Europe from where he moved to US as a small boy. He told my friend his wife and son are dead. He is working with Microsoft. Living in a hotel here in our country. I called the hotel, and there was nobody with that name He has my friend's phone number but he has never called her, they have known for a month now. He never gave his phone number, he has never been on cam with her and whatever i try to suggest my friend, she refuses to listen, instead she is sending me the loveletters he is sending her, to see he is real...i have lost my hope...i have some pics of him and his name, also his two e-mails, i found one of his picture on a scammer site. I would be happy if you would help me, how to get more evidence that he really is a scammer.

Welcome to Scamwarners nanay.

We really need to have some details to work with before we can give much help or advice. If he's living in your country, the simple solution is for him to be challenged to meet with your friend, taking the usual and sensible precautions you'd take when meeting a stranger from the internet - make it a public place in the company of another friend.

Yes. A difficult situation nanay. Indeed she is going to have her heart broken and hurt financially too if she is not careful. Has your friend seen his picture on the scammer site? If so, it should serve as a good warning sign to her. If not, perhaps you could show her. At this point, do not become pushy or overbearing to your friend otherwise she may push you away. As Terrance indicated, some more details would be beneficial. The tricksters do copy and paste methods to add text to an email which maybe is happening to your friend. When she is talking to the scammer, does she ask questions or is the talk all silly irrelevant fluffy talk. Scammers are very good at manipulation and in control whilst the target follows their script. Once the victim starts asking questions and seeking answers, the tricksters become confused. Is there someone else, maybe like a respected family member who could help?
