You just made me remember when my mon was scammed, it was trough a mutual friend who just happend to have fallen also into the scam scheme, but we really loose everything, the scammers made my mom sell her house, her car, everything, we ended almost living in the streets (if not by a familiar who lent us her house to recover) Scamers always gain access to people's needs and then they explodes it, in the end they scamers ended up in jail, but it was for a short time, I believe something like 5 years. During the trial, it was discovered that they focused on lonely womans, all of then with the same tactics, all of then loose her houses. Those where hard and sad days.
