My mother is targeted by this kind of scammers every once in a while. But I told her to ask me every time someone asks her for her personal data, friend or not. And she listens. She doesn't pay anything online, I do it for her. But I have been scammed with a "trading site" some years ago, for example. Deposited a few hundred, made profit and couldn't withdraw it. They changed the rules to something absurd to withdraw. After a while I discovered others began having the same problem and it became/was a scam.

Oh I heard of those. Easily done. I think these guys are all on Solana now just making memecoins.
