Wasn't there a list of romance scammers out there?

4. My mom didn't get taken by a "romance scammer" but she did get taken

These are very sophisticated operations and many times they have an American addresses but
their base of operations is offshore and much of the time out of India. If you have family close
by that can get her debit/credit cards along with her checking account then do so. My mom
will turn 91 in April, she has a PhD in Nutrition, has taught nutrition and bio-chem, and did
the first online class @ Ohio State but "they" were able to get to her.

BTW getting the checkbook is important because once "they" have the account and routing #s
"they" have the keys to the kingdom. If your mom has bills you can set up auto payments and
if she has any bills you can do it w/a POA and electronic checks.
