Thanks for bringing this to light, Sassy. It's a shame how scammers exploit innocent people, and it needs to stop.

isn't it pitiful that they prey on geriatrics. It's like you can't trust anyone.

Re:She is pretty embarrassed by this and she is heartbroken.
She actually thought that he loved her. I still cannot believe that she couldn't tell by his voice that he was a foreigner. He made her think that he was a millionaire from Texas, working on an oil rig in the middle of the ocean. She even sent him money for his daughter's 16th birthday because he convinced her that she wouldn't have a party otherwise.

I hate con artists. The deceit, the play on their target's emotions and
that sense of being made a fool of -- all that makes the theft 10 times worse. These guys need to be smeared with honey and staked out over an ant hill.

Re: You're welcome, Sea_Gypsy. We have her back on track now.
I would love to have him prosecuted, but who know's what his real name is. He went by Bill, but we found that his photo was a fake.

Thank you for posting these links. I’ll send them to my daughter. My SIL’s mother almost fell for the phiney IRS scam last year. These people who do this are the lowest of the low. I’m glad you were able to help your MIL.
