<prompt> Human: Somehow my friend starting chatting with someone who claims to be a woman in Africa who runs an orphanage. She has asked for his help with fund raising. She, or someone on her behalf, send him Xbox consoles to sell for 300 each. He receives about 3-4 per week and sells them all locally. I dont know the addresss these Xboxes are coming from. Then he sends the money off to her. Again, I dont know if hes sending it overseas or if there is a US address he sends it to. Hes convinced hes helping out this orphanage. Hes also convinced shes telling the truth when she says some day she wants to meet him and get married. But he has never even talked to her on the phone or actually seen her. All communication has been through emailonline messaging. I feel like it must be a money laundering scheme. My husband and I have mentioned as much, but we dont have any evidence to back it up other than it just seems way too odd to be legit. He refuses to hear us out and says its all very real. So how does this scheme work? Whats the catch? And is he going to end up being implicated in something illegal?  <response>: Are the Xboxs legit? Theres no logical reason why an orphanage in Africa is selling xboxs to fund raise. Hes likely selling stolen property which is obviously a crime. Not sure how best to break it to him, no one likes to admit theyve been deceived.
