The only way you have that kind of cash to throw around in China is if you're closely connected to The Butchers of Beijing. Therefore...no sympathy from me.

I feel for you. It’s amazing how many elderly people fall for the scams given the constant public service announcements, warnings, and “how to avoid the scams” articles in every publication geared to the elderly. But, those that are older seem to just skip over those warnings.

I think it has something to do with the fact that they grew up in the time of the telephone suddenly being available, and that anytime they heard that “jangle” it was a family member or friend calling. They simply do not expect that someone on the phone has nefarious intentions.

Sorry your mom has passed.

My mom is 92 and you get untill the second “hello” to make proper on the phone or you are gonna get both barrels! Mom is still a great blessing. I left her house just last week with an extra long hug. And now my screen is all blurry..,..

They build a friendship with them, even to the point of trusting them more than family trying to stop them from giving their money away,,,, demonic.

I love that guy. He changes his voice to the little old lady and rapes their computer while he’s letting them flirt with
“her”. We need more like him.
