[SWE] Is my friend being scammed?

My friend recently started talking with a woman who says she's from Argentina and is wanting to move to Sweden. I have been warning him that all of this seems a bit good to be true and he has assured me that he is just helping her get a green card atm, but I'm afraid he will soon start sending her money. He sent me these images of her that don't seem to be AI and not anywhere else on the web but I got a bad feeling about this... Do any of you recognize the images from other scams?

Fiest time tumbler needing some help

I recently got this lorton 45c tumbler from my father after it spending quite a few years in storage. After reading some guides and getting some chert I loaded it up and everything seemed fine. But then after roughly 10 minutes the barrel stopped spinning even though the motor is still trying to move it along.

​

After reading the instructions I have tried the following:

  1. Oiling all the spokes and moving parts.

  2. Lightening the load.

  3. Sandpapering the barrel to improve friction (suggested by the manual.)

  4. Tightening bolts etc.

​

But everytime I start it up again I get the same problem: it runs fine for 10-20 minutes and then stop; the motor running but the barrel not spinning.

​

Do any of you have any suggestions for what might be the problem and how to solve it?
