Unfortunately, I'm the only one who knows most of the full story of all of this -- I don't think W is telling the whole story to her friends and family as she slowly starts telling people about OW... And she won't take any advice on this sitch from me, so the only people she might listen to don't know enough to be throwing up those warning flags about a possible scam.
And if those people have been told the whole story and haven't thrown up warning flags (and only given her their blessing), then they are not the kind of friends I thought she had in her life.
Definitely making me happy right now that we've kept our finances separate. If this is a scam it's going to be a very painful experience for her, but I can't do anything about it. This falls into that "not my circus, not my monkeys" category I think :-)
