[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]So she didn’t try to call you at all in the past few days?  Didn’t tell anyone at all who thought it was suspicious?  [/quote]

We spoke Sunday and the Tuesday afternoon I sent her a photo, the damage happened in this window. And no, she didn’t tell anyone. My whole family is mad at her which makes me feel even worse for her but come on... why didn’t she confide in anyone but my stepdad? It is really mind boggling. My DH is furious she didn’t call him.

Wow, your family is mad at her and your husband is furious?? I guess it’s true no good deed goes unpunished....

Give her a break. Those scammers are very convincing. Your poor mother is humiliated and on top of it, her family is angry and questioning her sanity. Y’all need to be more compassionate. If my H were furious at my mom for this, we’d be having a serious come-to-Jesus moment. [/quote]

Your husband is a horrible person, OP.  Your poor mom.[/quote]

I don’t think the DH is a horrible person. Her mother thought her daughter had killed two people and didn’t tell the the daughter’s [b]husband[/b] because [b]a third party said so.[/b] I imagine he’s less upset about the money and more upset about the withholding of what (the mother thought) was extremely serious information.[/quote]

OP's mom didn't know it was a "third party."   She thought it was her daughter!  [i] " I needed bail money and I made her promise not to tell my husband (they knew his name) because I wanted to tell him in my own way when I got home."[/i]

The mom was trying to respect her daughter's privacy and not interfere in her marriage![/quote]

Missed that. Still, I personally feel like once this dragged into a second day and the mother still thought the daughter was in jail, she should have said said something, even just a nudge to reach out to her.  Especially since OP has a child at home - my husband would have been frantic if I had gone missing that long. [/quote]

I don’t think anyone is suggesting that op’s poor mom demonstrated excellent judgement.

On a separate note, these monsters could literally cause an old person to have a heart attack (in addition to stealing their money.) I would love to know if police are ever able to catch them. [/quote]
