American Express credit cards, scams, refunds

My friend hacked into her email account, and then all of her contacts were asked to electronically send an Amazon gift voucher worth £ 100 to my “friend” 's niece, as it was her birthday and there was a problem with the “friend”' s access to her Amazon account. The request was marginally plausible, but it didn't take much thought to realize it was a scam. However, two people fell for the bait, realized that they were cheated, and their banks returned the money.
However, the third person was tricked out of 100 pounds and then asked for another 50 pounds, and he duly agreed. What a surprise - the promised check for 150 pounds never came, and he says that American Express refuses to reimburse him. Does American Express have a reputation for being defiant on issues like this?
A man who has been cheated out of 150 pounds is very angry with my friend and expects her to pay him back 150 pounds. At my insistence, my friend basically told this person to rearrange these three words: bike, on, your.
Would you be surprised to learn that the friendship between these two people is now broken?

I don't see how the person expects your friend to reimburse them, but I don't think Amex has to do so either.
