Give advice if they are open to it. Let them know some reliable sources to research. Don't push too hard. If they are not open to your advice then just accept it and let them live with their decisions.

And never offer more than a suggestion, or just tell what you would do in a similar situation. If things go wrong, you certainly don't want them coming back and placing the blame on you.
