Sad story. Thank you God for sparing my 85 year old mom this type of scenario. She is still very capable of smelling a liar and has no problems telling them where to get off.
I hope ‘Tom’ is caught and prosecuted.
My mother in law clearly understands the risk, but she’s a high trust person who hates to disappoint anyone.
Not two minutes after my wife told her to never answer the phone when she doesn’t recognize the number, it rang and she dutifully answered. The call was legit but still.
And it’s not just Indians and Kenyans doing the scamming. A lady My MIL knows is glomming on to her. The lady has some weird mental illness and we think she wants to be my MIL’s daughter. She’s been trying to force her way in and has told my MIL to not speak with my wife.
MIL has cut her off but she keeps showing up. We’ve installed camera’s to monitor her. We’re also 800 miles away but the lady across the street is a real Karen. (Yea, that’s her name) She’s itching for a fight with this woman.
We’re a bit worried that she’s trying to get her name in the will.
Very weird. We’re preparing the restraining order paperwork this week.
