Hello everyone! The title is basically the gist of what’s been going on for some time. In the beginning, it all started with a man she met on WhatsApp from a distant friend who promised her thousands of dollars if they started this business together. She proceeded to dump 20k into this so called “business” and was scammed even though myself and my family told her not to do it.

Afterwards my mother has unfortunately become hell bent on getting the money back that she lost via a bunch of elaborate schemes and scams. First it was likely some recovery scam via this so called “lawyer” now she’s apart of a romance scam who has evolved into someone willing to send her money as well as other high end goods for nothing in return. While typing this all out it sounds ridiculous but she’s stuck on the idea that it will work out in the end. Unfortunately she’s dumped a godly amount of money into who knows what. In the past she used to be well off with a set retirement fund, two homes completely paid off and investments coming in. Now I fear for the worst and I don’t known what to do before she jumps off the deep end. Any advice on how I can take control of things will be greatly appreciated! Thank you for reading and have a good day :)

TLDR: Mother is way too deep in scams and won’t listen to reason, advice on what I can do to stop this please and thank you.
