Yes, our beloved, trusting mother got scammed. Please advise all of your elderly trusting parents or grandparents to beware. There are people out there that will take advantage of the elderly crowd and play on their trusting nature. You see they don't understand that in this computer age everybody has all of your information and bad people use that to make there money.
Yesterday, while napping peacefully in my bed, Angel called from work in a panic, stating that Mom was on her way to meet two men because she won a lot of money but they needed her to moneygram $6500 so it could be delivered to her home. I fly out the door, ugly hair and all, race to an outskirt town of Indy to save the mama. One sister and niece were sent to Mom's home for safety. Of course, traffic was in the way so one sister called 911 and let them know what was going on. The police intercepted mama at the Wallyworld with another elderly man sending money to of all people, Andy Taylor (from Mayberry) in Canada. Well, $13,000 later, mama still doesn't have her prize and I am not so sure she is convinced through the bank and police that it was a fraud.
Robert Peterson or whoever you are, watchout, you silver tongued ....we will be actively seeking you and all of your like to save the next poor nonsuspecting soul.
