Lying to get money?
I've been friends with this guy since I was in 10th grade. I'm 23 now, so we've been friends for awhile. Recently, I got a phone call from this friend. He said that he was upset and he needed to talk. To make a long story short, he needed to borrow $80 to get himself to and from a funeral that was three hours away. I of course lend him the money.
The problem is, he lied about WHY he needed the money. There was no funeral he was attending. His friend didn't die like he said. He was going to some 3-day camping trip with like 500 other people.
He said he would pay me back on the first of the month and that's fine. But should I approach him about the fact that he lied to get money? Or leave it alone?

in any friendship trust is a big matter. you should ask him about it or ask for some sort of appologie.
cause if he will lie about little things what makes you think he won't lie bout big things!!!

Talk to him tell him he didn't need to lie you would of understood that he wanted to go to camp and need $80.00

you guys seem extremely close, so say to him that he doesnt need to lie to you about why he needs the money, the reason shouldnt matter and that you trust him enough to pay you back
..hope it helps!:)

1) Loaning friends money is a good way to lose them. Be careful who you do that with.
2) Wait until he's paid you back to say anything.
3) Definitely say something, lying isnt cool and lying for money is worse.
4) Don't loan him money anymore.

Take the money back, don't let him borrow any money again and ask him if he enjoyed his camping trip.
Lying about a friend dying is serious and I wouldn't want my money in their hands again.
If he was your real friend, he'd tell you straight out why he needed the money, not win you over with sympathy.

Sometimes we want to see the good in people. We ask ourselves that very question. But for something that was so insignificant why would someone lie about something serious like death. If we are compelled to help people do we do it for the right reasons or to make ourselves feel better. But in the long run when you look at someone like this could you really say ther were ever really your friend? True friends will lie to save you not to hurt you. Take your money and run. People like this will suck you down into their world of lies and misery.

i would confront him because if you dont, he might think its okay and continue to do it
