[quote=Anonymous]Well even before I got poa we set up everything (or as much as possible) online with my cell and my brothers cell as secondary and we had her email password. Please checks. There are so many ways she could be getting scammed.

My mom was getting scammed out of thousands of dollars . Both magazine scams (she was paying hundreds a month for the same magazine all sold by horrible Florida based third party resellers; they would call and say “do you want to renew foreign affairs ?” And she would say yours and give out her Banerjee would not say that they were third party charging hundreds more on a monthly basis, etc). She was also taken advantage of by a very unscrupulous contractor who was getting her to spend thousand and thousands on poorly done or not done at all repairs renovations at ridiculous prices (50k to remove cottage cheese ceiling etc). Also disappeared when I came into the picture and turned out to have a fake name website etc .
Soon after she was officially diagnosed with dementia and I moved her near me after that.

Sorry for the rant-just a cautionary tale for everyone. Because it was mostly during Covid I wasn’t seeing my mom and she still sounded okay on the phone but the finances were the first sign.  [/quote]
