My Friend joined a dating agency a while ago and has met a guy on there who she 'connected' with. After a lot of emails back and forth, he told her he had to go away on a business trip and could he have her phone number so that he could ring her from the airport as he wanted to say goodbye.
As they had already arranged a date for the next week she emailed her number to him. His reply was that he couldn't believe what had just happened. He was already at the airport and his luggage had been lost and could she get £700 to him until he returned from his trip a week later! She emailed back saying she didn't have that sort of spare money and he would have to find help from someone else.
A couple of hours later, he rang her pleading for money, so she cut the phone call short saying she had another call on hold. So, he emailed again asking for £500 saying he was really desperate. This time she emailed back and said no, and that it had been nice chatting with him but she didn't want him to contact her again.
All quiet until last night. Her phone rings (Number witheld this time) so she answers and it's him! She said straight away that he should leave her alone and cut him off.
He clearly is a con-man, and an arsehole. AIBU to think she should notify the Police, seeing as he is probably trying this with other women too?
Sorry it's long!
