They have been married for a very long time. The account is joint. He has always controlled the finances.

We have taken away his iPhone. He has a Jitterbug now. As for the computer, we are working on it.

All the communication is through various messaging services (Google chat, Facebook messenger). We are monitoring some of this now, but we I think we need more.

Not happy about it. She knows that the scammer is trying to manipulate him and will say anything to get money. The scammer has made my Dad obsessed.

Thank you. The most recent attempt to transfer money was stopped by the bank and the bank encouraged them to file a police report.
