Scams are one of the things that really gets to me......espceially after the home care person (who was supposed to be an RN) pulled all the ID theft & stole all the valuable jewelry from my 80 year old mother who was dying of cancer. She preys on people with cancer.....from what I can figure out......& the police couldn't do a thing about it because I stopped payment on the checks that she wrote & caught her on the phone applying for the credit card, but stopped that before she could do anything. Only thing she did get away with was stealing a credit care & using it before they stopped the card because they figured out the fraud.

I was with my mother 24 hours a day during that time & it was happening right in front of my eyes, but they are so good, it's hard to realize what they are actually doing until things all start adding up. It took me 5 days to figure it all out & then it ended with the police coming to the house to accuse ME of abusing my Mother......then she OD'ed my Mother on morphine & that was the only way I could get her out of the house.

If it was easier to catch people who scam people & the penalty was worse, it might stop or at least slow it down, but it's so easy for them to get away with everything.

Glad you caught the scam fairly quickly,
Debbie
