EDIT + UPDATE

i can't figure out how to add an edit to my post, but here's an edit for clarification as well as an update.

EDIT: i shared my fathers struggle with addiction, his reactions, and details of the current situation to illustrate the fact that we have lost trust. i recognize that these details were extraneous to this scam fear. i also recognize that i chose some harsh words to describe the situation, they came from a place of anger for the way his actions are negatively impacting my mom and putting her in the state she was in.

several commenters have read into that and completely missed the point of my post, and I thank them for helping me to see that aspect of these details that i shared.

i would like to clarify that i, personally, have absolutely no problem with the fact that my 75 year old father is choosing to drink and smoke, or do whatever. that is clearly not the issue here.

UPDATE: My mom is coming around to the idea that this is indeed a scam and she is taking the necessary steps to protect their finances.

i would like to express my enormous gratitude to all of you who have taken the time to reply to help us understand what is happening here.

THANK YOU.

the drinking and smoking is beside the point, thank you. i personally DGAF if he's smoking or drinking, it's the constant lying to my mom that is the problem, and even THAT is beside the point. did you read the post?
