Compulsive liar, narcissistic, grandiose, superficial charm, risk taking, previous form, known to police. That's a lot of boxes ticked.
What sort of age?
If he's completely out of her life, I'd consider that a big plus.

The Swiss flag, now that's a big plus 😜

Think he was nearly 30, she a fair few years younger. A big eye opener anyways, crazy how trusting people can be though,

OP tell your friend to cancel all cards and change bank accounts etc

Silentsoul666

Already mentioned it to her, don't think he bet had her card. Bit of bags or anything left downstairs he may of gotten the info.

Not a bad idea, worth looking in to.

osarusan

Worst conman ever if the OP is anything to go on.

MacauDragon

So he did the make equivalent of high heels, makeup and a pushup bra.

What your friend was hoping for never materialized after much bullsht and wasted time.

Oh yeah that sounds familiar.

Why could I only think penknives?
I must be tired, took me few reads, or maybe my brain is addled from watching some true crime murder storiy where seemingly respectable upstanding stalwart of community turns out to be a compulsive liar who created a whole new identity in a new state after murdering someone and faking his own death and eventually traced by an ex wife because of some social security screw up.
Isn't that what everyone was watching?

Swiss Army knife uses the flag's imagery

I think the OP underestimated how long it would take to write that post. He/ she thought they would get one last April Fool's joke in before midnight. Otherwise I can't see the point of it.

Is this the real life?
Is this just fantasy?
Caught in a landslide,
No escape from reality.

Open your eyes
Look up to the skies and seeee....

He's just a poor boy
He needs no sympathy

Easy come easy go
Little high little low

In fairness, he did just kill a man, shot him point blank to the head. I'm surprised the Gardaí aren't more interested.

The girl had a lucky escape.

I only heard about the loan after found out he was all waffle. The course was to do something with business and the guy had money saved for a business he starting. He had a nice story of how he had small cash flow problem coz of funeral.
That was my first thought when I heard he was doing the course of he was already successfull and rich doing a free course

Con man / potential 419 type scam.
Definitly change pins / passwords and check for what may have gone missing.

Tbh the alarm bells should have started ringing earlier for this girl

Broken Hearted Road

Always be wary of fast movers. As in just after meeting and within a few weeks there's talk of marriage, babies and a house, etc. In this case he was talking of flying her and her family away on holidays within 5 weeks of meeting. That's not right. After meeting someone new you'd just about know if someone takes sugar in their tea after 5 weeks. Jetting family members around the world shouldn't come into it within that space of time.

Silentsoul666

Absolutely not, I wasn't the only one to be suspicious of him and the behaviour.more than one member of family noticed things downtime up. Even went as far as looking up the deaths on rip.ie that of course were never there.
He always had a story oh I've contacts to get free tickets and I get really cheap flights etc etc.

The Backwards Man

I wouldn't really call Walter Mitty types like that conmen. Well, in so far as the only person they are really conning is themselves. There's people that can lie their whole lives and get away with it, and others that can spend their whole life lying and get caught out every time. I think yer man is in the latter category.

Believing positive things that are not necessarily true about yourself is part of everyone's life.

He just made that next leap.

Why's she expecting a perfect stranger to pay for her trips away and everything else he disappointed her with?
Girl needs to learn to be independent. She got all she deserved

JustAThought

I'd be changing the locks & getting CCTV outside the door - not to mention replacing visa & bank cards - there's a lot you can scope out while in a luvingroom/kitchen where most people keep ID/bills\bank stuff & letters.

If the police know of him then he's a big local problem & a serial liar - and we already know he's not against making up sob-stories & stealing from people for his convenience.

Irish nut job or international visa scam type?

Silentsoul666

She didn't expect anything though? Nor did she ask, he "offered" everyone in the course the trip to states after she initially said no.
He was waffling about another trip to new York as a business trip and was able to bring people as part of the deal. Always tried to make out he was getting everything at low cost so it wasn't a big deal as he put it.

Penny Tration

She sounds really gullible to have fallen for all of that.

Silentsoul666

No he was Irish and seems to be from the part of Dublin he said he was. Only two things turned out to be true was his name and the apartment that was his parents. Turns out she was in the apartment once when he knew both parents were say for a week, his whole story of dead parents was the reason he wouldn't go back. Oh god.

Silentsoul666

Yea maybe she was abit gullible, he did have quite a few people convinced of himself, and of course the money he borrowed and never returning probably helped him along the way look like this big shot. As I said befor she spent nearly as much as he did so more thabikely just a compulsive liar and wanted to see how far he could go.

Mint Aero

Why was he sleeping on the couch and not in her bed with his penis inside her?

mickdw

I know someone similar enough to that. Fantasist and confidence trickster.
If he is anything like the guy I know, he seems to at least partly believe his own tales.
He will talk absolute bull time and again with a straight face and has such a thick neck that being caught out doesn't bother him at all.
You don't seem to grasp op that he got a loan of money, splashed it around, girl then spends similar meaning that he is now living the high life on twice as much stolen money. All this cost the girl money. It cost the conman nothing because of his dodgy loan.

Literally I have no idea how someone has the balls to be sitting at dinner table talking about his new house the new car and holidays and have everyone else talking about it and getting excited yet him knowing its falling apart a few days later.

Personally, I'd be more concerned about the lie of his mother dying when she's actually alive.

Silentsoul666

Well yea he spoke of his dead mother at the same table, looked sorta of said and he spoke of his mother in present tense not the past and I tapped better half and said WTF? But not a bother on him and everyone there feeling sorry for him. Some balls.
