my friend thinks he is being set up. But more than this hes being shown and offered things that he really hasnt involved himself in before. But everything seems too perfect too profiteble and too accesable. It showed up at his door one day in the middle of crisis. Allmost like entrapment. He assked if this guy was undercover or trying to set him up. Does the guy have to answer

If you're asking if "the guy" has to say he's a law enforcement officer working undercover if your friend asks, the answer is no.\n\nIt would kind of ruin undercover operations, wouldn't it?  Not to mention it would expose the undercover officer to certain risk and potential death.

Unless this is something he's always done then yes, u should be suspicious.  Why don't u ask him and see how legit his answers are.  U can always follow him when he supposedly leaves for work.

Assume it is true unless you have proof to the contrary. Your friend may need your support in the face of temptation or social pressure. I hope you get very tough with your friend if they even think of going near the stuff.

Dump the mooch. He will take advantage of you as long as you let him. That seems to be human nature.\n\nIf he isn't offering to help out, that speaks volumes about his character. You shouldn't have to ask him to contribute. This is a red flag - don't ignore it. It's only going to get worse.

Maybe he was lying on purpose or trying to look stupid.  There may be some beyond the scenes bargaining going on or some hidden agenda...I find it strange they didn't rig it in their favor knowing they know how and that it is pretty easy..

It is a voluntary thing. Being undercover is far too stressful to have someone there who doesnt really want to be there. It is better to have someone that is motivated to do that.

It is not right of your friend to put you into this position. If you know about it, and don't 'snitch', then you are committing a crime too! This guy has no business involving you in his law breaking.\n\nTell him you don't want to know about this sort of thing and the next time he tells you, you are going to pass the information on to the authorities.

He could possibly be gay or really insecure with himself.  Maybe he did not have a lot of previous experience and did not want to make an ass of himself?  He could be gay.  He could be using the drugs to escape reality a bit.  It's like a temporary bandaid.

He probably confides in you because you are the only person he feels comfortable enough to do so with. He trusts you. I understand though, that he is bringing you down, causing you excess worry. Like you mentioned, he needs to speak with someone professional. There's nothing wrong with doing so. It sounds like he may have depression which will affect ones self-esteem. If you really do care for your friend help direct him to get some help. Let him know that he worries you and that mentally, you can't take the emotional blackmail anymore. Let him know though, that you do care about him and want to see him get some help to make himself feel better. You'd be the greatest friend ever to see him through this if at all possible and help him to get a "fresh" start again. Be upfront, honest and considerate with him...hopefully he will take your advice and get himself to feeling much better soon. Good luck to you!!

Yep.  What is it with people that say "well, did you talk to him" or " no" or whatever.  i mean please, can't people see the big picture?  the guy was supportive cause he felt bad and guilty, not because he was genuinely concerned.  Someone who genuinely cares and is concerned makes sure that you lock your doors every night, that  you're okay every day.  I repeat, EVERY DAY.  Not selectively on weekends!

Well I wouldn't accuse him of anything....but I would watch very closely for any future "disappearances" or "unusual" behavior and then maybe confront and/or leave him.  Good luck! :)

I think he told you didn't he, from what I surmise from your text is there is lots of signals in your mind that say he is in to you, which may not be the case. don't use your friend to do the work that really scares you, you bring a 3rd party in to negotiate a relationship, you are asking for trouble, it's OK to use one to break the ice so to speak, like hey my friend likes you kinda thing. but for him to tell his feelings to your friend, not a good idea.

is that even him? when i read his question (if it really is him), i couldn't help but wonder why on earth would he be surfing the net asking questions when his wife just gave birth? why would he ask random people when he could just "buy" all the professionals out there.

I have a close friend who has been in law enforcement for over twenty years. He says he almost always asks people why they committ crimes. I have asked him before what scammers say. He says they often say if people won't think and realize their being scammed that they deserve to be victims. Maybe not true of all scammers, but mostly the ones he's spoken with.

" Technically " NO- heck no- First off it's not like you hacked in - its an open site, second all you did was view a web page - now if you start to change your routines to coincide with his or you start going thourhg his garbage or something then you might have a problem. Besides, most talk is not " in passing" if he said it, it's because he wants people to visit  the site- -but do not confuse his wanting people to view the site with his wanting you in any deeper sort of way

he needs to be reported. there are people out there who cant afford for this to happen to. well observed and i hope the robdogging git gets caught and punished. because he is either lining the shops pockets or HIS OWN

I SEE YOUR POINT AND I AGREE WITH YOU, HE IS TRYING TO IMPRESS YOU WITH HIS UNREALISTIC ACHIEVEMENTS WHY I DON'T KNOW BUT IT'S VERY CHILDISH. ONE WOULD THINK THAT HE WOULD WANT TO KEEP IT QUIET, AS FAR AS THE JOB, WELL THATS ANOTHER STORY IS IT WORTH YOUR SANITY ALSO WATCH OUT YOU MAY BE HIS NEXT ACHIEVEMENT.
