She was warned, and still went ahead with it anyway without doing the slightest bit of verification. This feels like the finance version of a Darwin Award
Its still tragic to see con artists steal money from prople with mental disabilities
Is it?
I warned a coworker years ago their wife was getting scamed. A friend form their past contacted them and needed help, with money. Being good christian folks they gave it. Never saw it again. A month later he was like yes it was a scam.
Then again, deadbeats asking for cash is an entirely different thing. You KNOW there's a good chance you won't see them or the money again, but for some people the conscience wins out.
