2:34 _"Once you send the money, it's very _*_unlikely_*_ that you will _*_not_*_ get it back"._ This is a double negative which means that you will get your money back which is awesome news!

I feel bad for her but I can't believe she did that 😳 You'd think her son would've been a bit more protective of his mom. Thats an awful way to learn a valuable lesson... don't trust anybody.

[janelbest]

Why would the son go along with it???? Wow...😮😮😮

[reneegardner]

how on earth was her own GROWN son involved wow 😠

My mom was scammed. She sent $50000 cash.Fortunately she called you right after dropping the package off at UPS and you was able to retrieve it after it left the bill. what you and your team is doing is a real blessing. THANK YOU *Briskdeft* !
P.S. my mom's had several scam calls since, but now she enjoys playing with them...hoping she'll get more calls. Maybe she'll join you someday in the People's Center..!!❤

To all those out there who are looking for a relationship, don't ever tell a person who you have never met in person, how much money you have!!! RED

I'm surprise the son wasn't skeptical.

Not a bright family. Her son didn't see all the red flags before she got scammed?

[mokahgirl]

So the adult son was going to move with his mother AND the guy? Lol smh
