She fell for the "grandparent scam"
Someone texted my elderly mon pretending to be me and said I dropped my phone and smashed it and my bank account is frozen and its the first of the month and i am going to get evicted can you send rent money to "the landlords" account and she fell for it.
Bank fraud squad caught it (thank god) and reversed charges right away and called her. She's super embarrassed, I'm like geez mom I have a job and shit, I would never ask you to lend me a thousand bucks you are on a pension FFS. Capital punishment for anyone who scams the elderly, she hasn't got dementia yet either. Anyway always be alert to the scams out there.

They did that to my grandpa when he was still alive. Luckily he called my dad and confirmed before he sent out any money. They said I was in jail...how tf do you send digital bail money? Fuckin scammers, I wish I could throw acid in their face just to distance myself!

Actually my mom got the grandchild in jail for DUI needs bail one too. She didn't fall for that since my niece is highly unlikely to be driving drunk at 6 years old

I read they make the scams fairly obvious intentionally because it helps them not waste time in the future by weeding out "marks" that aren't going to fall for it most of the time.

I second that. People who hurt the elderly are among the worst of the worst, right up there with people who hurt children. Mandatory minimum of 20 years, plus if they're in some third world shithole, the marines should go in and just shoot the place up, fuck em.
