My mother got a scam text saying her grandson, my nephew, was in a Paris jail and needs 10k for bail, she was convinced it was him, they had all the names correct which was weird.

Asked my mom if she even tried to call him or his mom to see if he even took a trip to Europe. I actually had to convince her it was a scam.

She finally called him to finally realize it’was all BS.


I’m waiting on AI to perfectly simulate a loved one on Face Time claiming he needs money for an emergency situation.

It's not just very old people either. There is a FB site I follow about animal rescue and the semi hot dude that runs it, has to routinely post videos telling "people" i.e. women that he is in a relationship already and is not reaching out to them via DM to start a one to one conversation with them. He says it over and over that he will never, ever contact any of this followers asking for money and people all the time fall for the scammers spoofing his page. One sad story was that someone's Mom sold her house and was all packed up and was going to move to Oregon to be with him and her kids had to intervene and get him to tell her that it was not him messaging her. So sad really. So many lonely people out there. The Asher House is the name of the animal rescue. It is legit but, sadly the scammers have spoofed there site and created new pages. They send money too the scammers also. Just another example...

My MIL has early stages of dementia, she swears that she is in a relationship with Garth brooks on facebook. My wife has tried telling her that he's fake but she won't listen. She sends him money all the time.

My wife got on the phone with this dude and cussed him out he laughed at her and told her if she blocked him he would make another account and friend request her. He was from another country, we went to the police and he told us it was almost impossible to prosecute these people because they are international .

She cash apps him money all the time, she thinks we are jealous because she is dating a superstar. Lol.
