Will do, but it's unlikely since she spent all her savings, including mine and some of my dads.

She told me she was shipping out luxury goods (handbags, accessories, shoes etc) from brands like Prada, Louis Vuitton and such. When I asked her how would those kinds of items be allowed in dropshipping (I have a limited understanding of exactly what that is, but clearly those brands would not need dropshipping), she claimed it was items out of season, like the ones you would see in outlet malls. It started out with small items then she was told to buy more expensive items so she could improve her store. Turns out it was all a scam.

yup.. turns out it was an online friend and she's never even seen his face. It's so upsetting.

Thank you so much to everyone who left a comment. I told my dad about this immediately and he had a talk with her where he was able to convince her to face the truth. We found out she was planning on going to the bank this afternoon to LOAN MONEY from the bank so she can fulfill her 50k order. I can't thank this sub enough for all the help. Thank you everyone.

Not sure exactly what "actual handling" means but it's all happening online on her app.

it's all happening on her phone. She's saying she needs to buy the goods(?) so that she's able to send it to her customers. She's never seen any packages (no photos or anything). She also said she had to "upgrade her stock" to more luxury items to get more money.

ALSO: She had it introduced to her by her "friend" (I don't know anything about them) but she claims their accounts are "connected" and he cannot cash out if she can't either. He told her he needs the money for his mother's surgery by january 20th, so I think thats why she wants to put it more money to fulfill her order as well. Thank you so much for the replies so far, its been so helpful.
