[@donnamckinley9807]

Well, children many times have taken advantage of them all their life. The money grown kids borrow, they usually will never see again. When a woman thinks she is in a real relationship and in love. Is being told she is wonderful, beautiful, humorous and someone spends time just talking to her, it means more than you will ever know. They certainly dont get that from the kids even when they spent their life catering to them. Giving them money growing up and now they are so tired of being taken advantage of. They fall in love on-line and once they've sent a significant amount of money, they keep sending more because they believed in this person (and they havent been screwed over repeatedly by them...yet), and thought when they got here they would be paid back. Once they're in for a certain amount, they are so desperate to get it back they keep sending more to get whatever obstacle or circumstances there are out of the way so they can finally get their money back.

I think the fact she worked in the entertainment industry for so many decades kinda skewed her perspective.

I'm sure she was super sheltered. One of these people who depended on the agents and managers to take care of logistics and requests. Remember, her heyday was the era of big concert tours and massive, long-running positive cash flow. Stevie Nicks is still rolling it in, I am sure. This lady was adjacent to all that, plus I bet her husband handled all the finances and budgets. But yeah: that's what I was thinking. HUGE jackpot.
