Re: Lawren

  • Lord no. She's still being stupid. Me and my sisters have told her everything and showed her proof. She's in denial because she is so obsessed with the fact that somebody 'loves' her. She hasn't been with anyone in over 25 years. She is computer illiterate and has no idea about anything because she's never had it and recently got a smart phone and joined facebook, so when we try to explain things to her she doesn't understand anything! It's kind of like talking to a 5 year old. I had a friend trace the IP address and everything. I guess it's Nigerian scammers and they've hacked into IP addresses in Sunnyvale, CA. I still read through their conversations on facebook and he's starting to ask her if she would do anything for him in the name of love. I want to kick this douchebag in the throat. But my Mom has really high blood pressure and they had to send her home from work the other day because it was so high they almost admitted her to the hospital. She's claiming me and my sisters are stressing her out so much by interfering and not believing him. She's delusional. I don't know what to do because I don't want her to kill herself over this...

    Nope. I don't know what it's going to take to have facebook do something about it.

    That is really scary...and I don't think FB really cares about privacy anymore so who knows what it would take for them to do something.

  • Ok. So he sent her an email today saying that he has gold bars that he needs taken care of, so basically the next step would be that he needs her account information to help secure them. This is a well know scam and the FBI gets at least 5-10 calls a day about because I called a good friend of mine that is a cop. He's going to go by her house tonight in uniform to tell her that she is involved in a scam that is under investigation by the FBI and he's going to tell her the truth since she obviously won't listen to her children.
