[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]

You’d be surprised, OP - so many people fall for these scams. It can happen to anyone, even those who are mentally sound. My MIL has fallen for more than one (though thankfully didn’t lose that much money) and she’s actually quite sharp. On my neighborhood lost service people are constantly warning one another about these scams; your mom obviously didn’t know about them and reacted emotionally, thinking you were in trouble.

Your mom is deeply embarrassed and ashamed, so of course she doesn’t want to talk or think about it. I really feel for her.[/quote]
