Summary

My mother was the victim of 5-months long, elaborate, insidious scam which resulted in a loss of $66,242 CAD. Our whole family is suffering the traumatic repercussions of this scam as it led to irrational fighting daily between my parents and a MASSIVE debt for all of us.  As their daughter who loves them to the moon and back, I am determined and desperate to help them reduce this debt as much as possible, in hopes that it would mitigate the mental and financial damage we've collectively suffered. 

This incident has broken the trust between my parents so they will be getting a divorce. My younger sister and I are beyond traumatized from their constant fighting and verbal cruelty, so we will be moving out on our own after we sell our family's current home and pay off the $66k debt from the scam. 

Details of the Scam

Someone who she believed to be her online friend of multiple months was actually a catfishing scammer.  The catfish, after getting to know my mother for multiple months and befriend, promised her that they will be providing her with a huge return in investment in the form of an expensive shipment of precious minerals if she just pays the shipping fees. The catfish even crafted 2 elaborate websites, one of the shipping company, and one for the catfish's own credentials, to fool her into believing that they're real.  The fake shipping company website even had an updated tracking page and live customer support chat, which to a 50-year old immigrant who is not quite proficient spotting internet fraud, looked very realistic to her. The other website would display the credentials of a successful manager of a construction company (all completely made-up), complete with a portfolio and everything, and the scammer was playing the part of this manager.

The fees for her fake shipment started racking up, and when she hesitated to pay, the scam shipping company would begin to extort her by threatening to report her to law enforcement multiple times. The scare tactics got even more money out of her. The scammer would gave her details on how to lie to her family/the bank staff to hide the transactions so this was how this went on for so long without us noticing.

Aftermath

We have filed both fraud investigations and police investigations, both of which are currently active. However, online scams like these rarely see a happy ending where the victims are able to recover their lost money. The money my mother transferred to a bank account has since been wired to another offshore bank and withrawn as cash so the entire $66k is untraceable now. 

At first, I was livid that my mom put us in this dire financial situation because of her mistake, but after speaking to our bank’s fraud investigators, I came to understand that these scams are EXTREMELY insidious and predatory. Often times, the victims are older (like my mom) and do not understand the ways of the internet. It’s especially devastating knowing that this scammer spent months and months talking to her daily to gaslight her into believing them, and taught her to hide all of it from her family. I have learned to forgive her but now it’s now time for her to forgive herself too and the first step is to help her alleviate some of the debt. She’s already stressed and feeling betrayed due to the scam, I don’t want her to become more miserable from financial instability too. This is why I’m humbly asking for donations.
