How can I prove an airline ticket is fake?

My friend was sent a picture of an airline ticket that a guy on Facebook has bought for her. How can I prove this is a fake and that she is being scammed? Her flight is Thai Air flight BF120 from SEA to PAH (Barkley Regional) xtkt 0372314080023. I thought tickets were supposed to be 14 digits long. How can I look this up to prove to her it’s fake and save her from going to the airport and being devastated because it’s fake and to stop her from sending him any more money? This is my first time on here but I’m sure you all hear this all the time. My friend had a tragic year loosing her husband to Covid and 6 months later loosing her daughter in a horrific car accident. She is lonely and vulnerable and I am just trying to protect her. Thank you for all the advice. I told her today of my worries and showed her all your comments.

Well, there's no way Thai Air is flying to Barkely Regional in Kentucky. It could be a code share but BF is the French Bee low-cost airline, which I'm sure also doesn't fly to Barkley Regional.

As well as the answers to your question, have your friend read Romance scammers’ favorite lies exposed and Online Imposters Break Hearts and Bank Accounts, there are many many other warnings out there

@MichaelMacAskill It looks like someone altered the question history so that not even the first revision contains the pictures anymore.

Please do all you can to help her, those repugnant bastards don’t care who they hurt. I have a dear friend who was taken for a large amount (enough to affect her life, let alone the psychological damage). I won’t say what should be done to them but it would be permanent and painful.
