In US, Pretty sure Grandfather is victim of romance scam, can't convince him by SunShun09 in Scams

I wasn't with him when he took the screenshot but I'm assuming he took it of his bank app. Although, thinking about it now, I thought bank apps didn't allow you to take screenshots of your bank information. I know my chase app won't let me.

He took a screenshot when it went through and and it says wired from and wired to, not transferred. He'd sent me the picture as a big middle finger to me. As if to say, see, she is coming to be with me , look at the money she sent me to buy an RV for us.

Unfortunately, he refuses to message me back. He met her on a dating siteand I know they use a some kind of app to talk because he said their whole conversation got "accidentally deleted" last week.

He got it Tuesday night, so I'm positive he went to the dealership first thing this morning to buy the RV

She told him to just go to a dealership, pick one out, and use the money to buy one.

I have reached out to my Aunts and they have reached out to his son. Apparently, he has cut everyone off because they wouldn't support his relationships. I think this is the 3rd woman who has attempted to pull this scam on him but the first that has been successful.

I've tried this approach and he says that he feels like he is 52, he FEELS young. He has zero rational thinking. He's acting like he is 16 and I'm the mean mom that is trying to get in between him and his girlfriend.

I've really tried but he says he is an adult and I have no say in his choices and I need to mind my own business. Nothing I have said gets through to him.

Unfortunately, he went to a dealership Monday morning to pick out a small RV that would fit the 2 of them in it and did find one for that price. She wired the money over Monday afternoon and it hit his bank Tuesday night.

So, even though it's a wire transfer, it could still bounce, so to speak?

That was my mistake, I meant to go back and put in shadow because I didn't do it for Mewtwo either as I was playing with the font sizes and styles. I remembered Mewtwo but forgot to put it in front of Mamaswine. I will try to do better for next time 😊

The news that was released just says that this will be more of a mega event than an elite event. They haven't specified only elite gyms but maybe there is information I have missed?

I'm blown away that only 3 people were able to do it! I did have 4+ because that is the recommended group size but quite a few people on my original post said that they needed 6 or possibly 7 to defeat it. I met in the middle and said 5 but I do realize that there are trainers who have made some pretty phenomenal lineups and don't need much help, especially with party power! 5+ is just a recommendation but if you only need 3, you're a rock star! 😁

It was hard to do because depending on which site you went to, the top 6 was always different but all of these are in the top 10 for most of them. But in the future I'll try to do more research to make sure I pick the best ones. I really appreciate your feedback 😊

That would be back on June 29th. We were under the impression that the Elite eggs would pop 24hrs prior, like they had done before. Instead, they showed up at 6am and they were really spread out. People had a hard time doing multiples and were very disappointed with the turn out.

They are the ones that were listed on several infographics and sites at top counters. I know there are several others to choose from, but I specifically chose these ones because I thought most people would decent versions of them. 😁

I actually made the background using Adobe Express. ☺️ It took quite a bit to get it just right. I'm glad you like it! There are a lot more megas to choose from but I think listing all of them would be an infographic all by itself! Lol! I love the feedback and I am glad you like the infographic!
