[quote=Anonymous]My MIL has continuously fallen for these scams since becoming widowed a few years ago (“successful businessmen”, not young women, but same con). At this point we believe she’s been scammed out of most of her savings, but every legal entity we’ve spoken to has said there’s not much recourse for these types of things because she’s giving the money away willingly (albeit under false pretenses), not because she’s being threatened or coerced. DH and his siblings have done everything OP has done - reverse imaged search the pictures, pointed out he terrible English grammar, provided information on scams, blocked the scammers from her phone - but she keeps falling for them. Our accountant suggested trying to get power of attorney over her accounts so at least she can’t keep giving money away, but she won’t agree to that.[/quote]
