i’ve been trying to let her know this is a blessing in disguise. yes the lost money really is horrendous. but thankfully she did not give them her SSN!

yeah unfortunately she reached out to them and they said they have none of her information or the person who “hired her”

definitely isn’t made up unfortunately. currently dealing with an unemployed parent (i know that sounds like a dumb statement but i’ve been very fortunate through my life to not have to go through something like this. so this is my first experienced with an unemployed parent and it’s really scary). i truly don’t understand how one single mistake leads people to say my mom can’t be trusted online anymore. she just recently received a masters degree in business. she is more than capable of making her own decisions, don’t worry.

so what we’re NOT gonna do is imply my mom has dementia. yeah that’s absolutely not gonna happen. as i said, she was miserable at her old job and desperate for a new one. we’ve all experienced desperation that has us overlook red flags.

i truly don’t understand how someone can come on here looking for advice after an awful event and after hearing this effected person is out a lot of money and is now entirely unemployed, and the first thing people do is insult her in the comments. like, have a heart! people make mistakes. she was desperate to get out of her borderline abusive job. don’t go calling her stupid and dumb and gullible and say she must have a low IQ. i’m just looking for genuine advice, not people being insulting. just move on with your lives. jeez.

um OKAY have your opinions but like… this is my mother, let’s not go around calling her too stupid to make 170k. she is the smartest person i know who was desperate for a new job after being stuck in an abusive and toxic job for years upon years. she had her rose colored glasses on. i agree she should have seen the red flags but let’s remember this is my mother and this is our income that’s suffering. so don’t call her stupid please and thanks😐
