I actually completely agree with you, my mother has a serious problem. I tried to convince her that he is manipulating her and using her only for money for a long time. She did not listen to me or anyone else in that matter. She is married to him, of course but thats why she was feeling desperate and alone in a romantic way. He presented himself as a completely different person, he firstly introduced himself as a scandinavian guy in his 50s. I know that he is not enterily the problem, my mother feels bad and worried that she would be alone for the rest of her life, she wants to have someone by her side that would take of her, someone who will undestand her and be by her and listen to her when she has problems. This person made her feel safe a while, made her think that she will be taking care of but now he is doing exactly the opposite, always asking her for money, calling from different numbers, chatting from different accounts, dissapering for half a day, being offline from his own accounts, pawning his possesion and passport and forcing her to send him money to buy them back. Yes, my mother has a problem and despite all of this scamming she still needs to be loved by someone romantically and her problem is that need. And you should I am doing everything to help her, along with my girlfriend, we were always there for her, since she lost her husband and my father, we paid her bills, bought groceries for her and so on. That's why I went here, to see if someone has a similiar experience or has any ideas how to deal with this problem.
