My phad has dropped into conversation that her friend has visited, she is going back to the UK as she is married to an Englishman.

Now, I have often feared she is not a scammer but what of this. Either I am going to get a nice couple wanting to have lunch with me or a plea for money so she can visit them and me...

What do you reckon?

Scammer or 2 timer Tasman,

just play along and see where it goes, if she is coming to see you, she would probably expect you to pay for the ticket or at least some of it and she is using her "friend" to break the ice, find out when her friend is going to the UK so you have a time frame. If her friend is married surely there is a timeframe, let her know that you will have to tidy the house up for her when she visits. If she is willing to come to you without you paying money then you could start to think she is for real.

My money is on that not happening

I am going to ask where they are first so I can be somewhere else just in case...
