Did you speak to your friend about it?

It is sometimes hard for people to believe someone they care about could do something bad.

but she should care about me more!! she barely knows him.

I have been in a similar situation with a friend and her husband; when he was exhibiiing bad behavior, she did not want to see it in him. I agree that she should value you your friendship more than someone she just met.

last time we went out for brunch, he literally tried to make her pay for it! that's not the behavior of someone that has money like she claims. she's delusional

It sounds like you are worried about your friend putting her trust into this guy.

I think if you talk to her again and tell her you are looking out for her best interests it may help open a conversation. If you do end up calling the cops, at least you will have tried to speak with her first.

i should tell her that i am thinking about calling the cops, at least or maybe not cuz she might tell him then he can get rid of it. i think she is working with him, maybe, or at least covering for him
user

Knowing your friend, do you really think she would do that?
assistant
Question
i think she would cover him, maybe, or try to avoid the truth. but no i dont think she would plot with him
user

It sounds like you really care about your friend, and want the best for her. She may not realize this but you are doing the right thing.
