My friend has been addicted to TikTok and he found this lady on TikTok claiming that she was once divorced with no money.

Had to move in with her parents and turned a few hundred to half millions.

Now she is a millionaire because of crypto. She’s trying to help people to become like her.

My friend feels impressed and has been talking to her everyday and did everything she told him to, opening crypto accounts and wire transfers all his income and take out retirement fund to invest in crypto because of this lady.

He refused to acknowledge that it's a scam. So now the crypto website that he opened an account, sent him an email saying that his account has been closed. He lost all his money.. I know there’s nothing we can do to trace that money back. But is there anything I can do to help him and stop him from trusting this stranger and stop watching TikTok? I guess this is also a warning for people , especially older people out there to not simply trust people online, no matter how much followers they have
 
This is a youtube link you can send him

Wish the government would step in to really start cracking down on this.

Scammers are seriously everywhere now.
I don't think I have a day where I don't get a random "hi" type of text.
Then the Norton renewal receipt emails.
