My sisters and I think part of the problem is that my father is losing it mentally.
Yes, picking up the phone to verify the email would be the logical thing to do. But he's over 80 years old, who knows where his head is at. Plus I heard that these scammers are now calling the house, next thing they will be showing up at the house. Good thing my mom can't speak very good english.
Yes, the money is probably a loss. But somebody mentioned the bank, yeah it's the banks responsiblity to ensure no fraudulent activities exhist. Haven't we all received a call from the bank from an unusual activty or a strange purchase on our card? You think a 50K wire to the UK from an 85 year old man would be a red flag?
I'm going after the bank. Good god, give me the money and let me gamble it, at least would be a small chance of return.
All it would take is some crafty former FBI agent to look into our case.
