[quote=Anonymous]I keep responding to these posts to contradict all of you who think someone has to be demented to fall for these scams. You do not realize just how convincing these scammers are. My mother -- who is perfectly competent, intelligent and aware that scams exist and target older people -- fell for the "Amazon refunded you too much and you have to return it immediately" scam. To the tune of $50K. She truly believed she was facing jail time if she didn't wire transfer this money to a bank in China. Please don't think anyone is safe from these criminals. I now have access to her accounts so I can see what's going on. I tried to get the bank manager to set up her accounts so I would have to also approve large transactions. That simply doesn't exist, although it should. [/quote]
