This has got to be the friendliest, nicest arrest of a bank robber ever. As a side not I will say you left the most important part out! I wanted to know about the scam. As soon as I turned 62 I started getting those scam emails and now it’s several texts a day. I’ve tried ignoring them, sending STOP messages and giving them a strongly worded response. Nothing has worked.

[@anjenue4894]

Don’t respond. Some scam texts/emails have malware that links to your keystrokes and/or phone info….

[@only1muppet]

I’ve learned that when a text says to send “STOP” that’s how they figure out if the number they texted is valid. Just report the messages as spam, don’t interact with them at all. The same goes for emails. All of those messages are automated anyway.

She was in dire straits. She owed her sister $5,000. and it's reported that a friend loaned her $65,000. Her scammer needed money at customs. Sounds like a romance scam, but who knows. She knew robbing a bank was wrong. It's reported that she only got $500. from the bank. All that to face up to 15 years in prison. She also had a gun. Unfortunately, I don't think she will be able to beat this charge.

@@KennethRJones-SWEN The sister was detained by police for something she didn’t do. She will have to write a statement and potentially be involved in the trial if there is one. She also claims the house belongs to the sister who is getting arrested. She will likely have to figure out her sisters affairs along with helping her sister obtain legal counsel. She may even have to find new housing. At the very minimum, her life has been disrupted by her sisters’ actions. So I repeat one more time for those who can’t think critically; I hope she feels awful for getting her sister involved in all of this.
