[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I am so sorry this happened to your mom OP and to you. I do not have any advice but have to say that your mom's situation is a testament of her love for you. I think that when a mother hears of a hardship happening to their child they are instantly not in the right mindset to think clearly. They just want to help in any way possible. This is how your mom was tricked: the scammers played upon her basic hard-wired need to care for and protect you.[/quote]

I hope you are right. I mean, I know certainly you are right she was overcome with a need to help me, but I am still feeling worried that she might be deteriorating mentally and I feel very helpless.[/quote]

Those scammers are very convincing and very pushy. My parents we in their 50s when they almost got scammed out of tons of money in a similar fashion. They only thing that helped is that they did not have enough money to send and called me to loan some. [/quote]

I am so sorry, OP.  The PP is correct that the scammers are very convincing.  It sounds like your mom was trying to keep it quiet to save you the 'embarrassment.'  You need to report this ASAP to the police.  The money may be gone but you never know.  At least you can alert the police and they can alert the public in your parents' area.[/quote]
