Scammed Out of Life Savings

Friends - I am angry, and sick to my stomach. My poor mother was scammed out of her life's savings. A scammer called her in the middle of the night claiming to be her granddaughter.  The put her through hell for over a week making her think her granddaughter was in serious trouble.  They took advantage of her love of her grandchild.

Please, tell your parents and grandparents about this scam. It's called the grandparent scam. The scam these people are pulling is awful. They are taking advantage of the older generation.
