Ugh. Definitely sounds like your friend’s neighbour is being Catfished. Your friend should email Neve from the show Catfish. Kind of blew me away after watching that show just how many catfishes are out there. Most are just sad, lonely people who got tired of being rejected IRL so created fake profiles in order to find some acceptance. I also went out on a date with a guy a couple years again who was head injured and got cheated out of $10,000 by a woman he met online and not IRL. That was pretty sad.
