You were talking to a scammer who was posing as your friend. Scammers will copy old, rarely used accounts, and make new accounts with that person's name or profile. Or, they will use info from a data leak they bought to log in and use that person's account. Then then message you posing as that person. Thinking since it's someone you know, you'll give them money. Its when you start questioning them they get flustered and block you.

@prexie You had every reason to believe it was her. Scammers are good at fooling people and using people like that. But, don't feel bad. You weren't talking to your former friend, you were talking to a scammer. The tip-off you're talking to a scammer is they don't spend a lot of time on small talk. They'll jump right into asking for money.

You were not being harsh at all, but real. So you do not need to apologize at all.

@prexie You just need to forgive yourself and keep your conscience clear. Then you can learn to let go of the guilt. It is well, you do not have to be perfect anyway, remember.

First of all , how are you sure it is your friend? Just because there is a photo of hers. Again , there is a logical flaw in everything you narrated. Her husband and family are aware she does not have a job. Would it not be better for the husband to ask for money since he has the job . Again , she blocking you all of sudden , well that has all ingredients of a scammer more than a friend. Plus this whole story looks like cooked up. Plus why reaching out through facebook instead of reaching out to by call or in person. Well, you were lucky not to have fallen for it. Just warn your other school friends as well. Enjoy the weekend!

The moment she asked for money you should have immediately disconnected and blocked her
