[quote=Anonymous]My mom  for a scam via one of those tax help companies. She gave them her checking account number and he debit card number. They cleared out her account and lucky her she had over draft protection so her bank transferred money into the compromised account and voila it was gone immediately. Almost $20k. This all happened right before she went on an3 week trip and I told her she needed to close her accounts but she didn’t want to deal with it before her trip. It’s incredibly frustrating. I had to change all of her auto pay accounts and came to find out that she had multiple companies doing my r same thing. Peopel would come to her door and she’d sign up. 3 year pest control. 2 year alarm system contract that she doesn’t even know how to work. Had sprinklers installed that she didn’t wintwrize and they froze and broke. Solar installed to “save $ on electric”. She fired her accountant because she could save money and do the taxes herself. Guess what? She forgot to file them for 3 years so I had to clean up that mess as well. Now just waiting to hear from the irs about how much she owes in fines and penalties. That’s if she even puts the mail aside for me instead of just throwing it away unopened. It’s awful. I don’t know what the answer is. Appointment next month for cognition tests. I know the doctors won’t do anything though. Been through this with the in-laws. [/quote]
