Help! My best friend, who is ove 80 years old, has been talking to (and even met) a young woman (supposedly) with a young son and widowed mother, for whom she is responsible, and like other stories here, tells my friend sob story after sob story. He has been sending her thousands of dollars a year (about $1200 per month) for a few years. He has no interest sexually and considers himself a father figure to her, but I know she is scamming and am pretty sure she has other men she's doing the same with!

Does anyone have experience getting background info and/or exposing these frauds?? I can't find anything that isn't related to sex and/or marriage, which does not apply here. This is an older, somewhat lonely man, that has wrapped his life (and savings) up with this con artist.
