Sad but true. It’s a lot easier for crooks and scammers to manipulate elderly people. Especially if the victim is an elderly widow. Older widows are so desperately in need of love and companionship that they don’t even question if the person they’re talking to is real.

I feel like in this case their might be some form of dementia or Alzheimer's because her husband mentioned that she was forgetting people that she shouldn't be. This disease is so dangerous because your logic is gone or you get taken advantage of and then forget that you did anything. She doesn't deserve this. Something mentally in this case is wrong and the scammed should be ashamed of taking advantage of her. Her husband should have cut off her phone and money and access to vital info the second he noticed that it continued. Poor guy.

Wow. You literally can't write a business contract as bad as a marriage contract. I have no idea why people get married, unless they both are and will continue to be eternally broke. If you must get married, PRE-NUP! Keep your assets separate. Marriage only makes sense if you are not likely to be financially viable ever, and if you are just plain marginal. If you're a mover and a shaker, be very careful. BTW - I am a successful woman - that knife cuts both ways.
