TLDR: female friend who is recently divorced is most likely in a romance scam and the first test/proof is in couple of days. How do I help her through it and to see the truth? I have a friend (both F50-somethings) who is just out of a 30 year marriage that was almost completely without physical connection for over 20 years. She jumped into online dating right away and has had a few in person dates but nothing stuck. She is also "dating" a guy in London named "Jack" (she did tell me his last name but I don't remember it). She briefly showed me a video of him (tattooed white guy rotating toward the camera with a bouquet of flowers with the caption "would you date a 40-year-old single dad?") that looked like AI to me. And then she said that he has bought her a Land Rover that will be delivered in two days, and she "ONLY" had to pay the import taxes. I asked her who she paid it to, and she said to Jack's assistant. I cautiously asked if she thought it sounded scammy, and she was immediately uncomfortable and muttered something about having the receipts (for the money she sent). I told her if this is a scam, she'll never get the money back. The weird twist is that she is actually going to London next week - trip was planned before she starting seeing 'Jack' - and plans to meet up with him, which probably made her trust him more. Come two days from now, what do I say to her?
