My father is 62 years old. Fully disabled due to a bad truck accident. Hasn’t worked in 20 years and barely survives on his SS Disability. My dad is a good man. Kind and giving to a fault and has allowed his friends to take advantage of this throughout his entire life.
Recently a women reached out to him on Facebook. She is 37 and lives in a different state in the south west but wants to live with my dad in our home state, which I won’t share because I don’t want this popping up and alerting said person. Anyways. She wants to live with my dad and recently was supposed to come visit him. She cancelled last minute because she has a very rich property she needs to sell and the agent won’t cover the closing costs and she doesn’t have the money. And she doesn’t want to come to our state until it’s settled so she can fully move here with him.
Suffice to say this woman needs 8,000 for the agent to get the house listed. So my dad reaches out to everyone. And at this point everyone is telling him it’s a scam and they won’t help. He refuses to believe any of us. The catch is they talk all the time and even FaceTime over actual webcam.
I am very worried for my father and I’m not sure what I can do? I tried to find examples online to share but I couldn’t find anything that matched perfectly. I am desperate for any help as he is now selling his house (I convinced him because it’s too big and I want him to get something small cash and not worry about so many bills) and when he gets this large sum of money I am worried he will lose it as everytime he’s run into money he has lost it all to friends taking advantage of him. And if he loses this money he will be without completely.
