    Send an anonymous letter (email or snail mail) to that person. Be nice and yet firm with words. Don't just criticise but do provide suggestions.
    For email, there are plenty of anonymouse email services online.

    Remember, don't tell anyone, not even your partner or best friend about the anonymous letter.

    I once did that to a friend who smelt really bad in the morning when at work - the situation improved after an anonymous email.

    Good Luck!

    May be the beans should be spilt.

    What about if it was a friend of yours getting scammed?

    The only way your friend will eventually be able to have a decent life is to change her ways.

    Maybe it is not just money but hurt and heartache, and you could save a lot by letting the person know.

    Difficult, but it seems the only decent way.

    why anonymous? it is best to just say it like it is to her face.
    God grant me the serenity to accept the things i cannot change, the courage to change the things i can and the wisdom to hide the bodies of those people i had to kill because they pissed me off.

    It really depends on how well you know the person and the situation. For instance, would you do it to your manager at work?

    yup i would, i never would tolerate scammers. and i think it is best that the scammer is told to his face, i wont be rude about it, i will just say it as i see it. sometimes this people need to be told and maybe only maybe they will think twice about what they do.

    My view is that if she is truly a friend and you disagree with what she is doing, then as a friend you should over her your opinion.advice. No matter what a friend has done wrong to you if you offer your opinion/advice with love then your conscience is claer and it's then up to your friend to heed your words or not!
    Be responsible with little so that you can be trusted with much!!

    it's up to her if she still continue, being a friend I guess you've done your part
    Don't make promises when you are in JOY. Don't reply when you are SAD.
    Don't take decisions when you are ANGRY. Think twice, Act wise. BE happy.

    Lifes not easy for a scammer either ,actualy Ive come across more beggars than scammers in the cyber dating scene,

    I think if I got caught....unlikley....I would learn from it and move on my Grandad always said you pay to learn

    Also if I was bored there are "baiting" sites with 26000 members who give the scammers hell somthing to do if you feel strongly about it
