Protecting Parents with Terri Proctor

Sometimes people only share their stories after they’ve gone through a challenging time. But it’s also important to learn from those in the middle of a scam to learn how people are manipulated and how vulnerable our loved ones can be.
Today’s guest is Terri Proctor. Terri’s elderly mother has been scammed by romance scammers over the last three years. Trying to get help from different recommended services, she realized that no one was interested in helping. She started the non-profit Stop Elderly Scams to educate and bring awareness to the community.

It must be the loneliness. I'm 77f and try to fill my life with in-person relationships. I’m also tech-savvy and I recognize scammy things online. I’m fortunate that my daughter and son-in-law live in my home. I have the wonderful opportunity to make nightly family dinners because they come home from careers. It gives me purpose. I'm very fortunate.

Im 75, a widow, most of my family and friends have died. I hv been a victim of this romance scam crap. Believe me, they work on you, love bomb and gaslight you. Make you feel guilty abd pkay on your sympathy. They lie and threaten and get angry. Then they ghost you. The trauma is endless. They preyed on my emotions.
