One of the "addresses" he used to try and scam your friend.... belongs to my friend whom I tried to warn about this guy. but still, she would not listen and still talks to the guy. I'm ay my wit's end. I'm about willing to have her hate me forever just to make this guy go away. But I don't know how without risking everything I have learned here and without putting others at risk.

You cannot help someone who is unable to help themselves. Do not risk the lives of others over this one intractable person.

So, I backed off. Let her be who she is with this guy. I'm an Empath so it still hurts seeing her get scammed. She informed me he "ghosted" her around Christmas. Then informed me around New Years she had been informed he died. I don't care how evil this man was but if that's legit (and I feel it's 100% fake... keep reading you'll see) I will not speak ill of the dead, However, she was informed she was "his sole beneficiary" to the tune of 8mil and so she told me she "wised" up and contacted the US Embassy in Turkey for information on his death. Now.... IMO she hasn't "wised up". I'm going to do what I can to keep her from doing something stupid while making sure I don't piss her off so I can keep relaying information here.

We can tell you exactly what's going to happen next. She'll be asked to pay "fees" to receive the supposed money. It's nothing more than a variation of the "next of kin" or "inheritance" scam. You can quote us that it's 100% a scam, and not even an original one.
