My family and I are completely floored and it’s been an emotional day so I apologize ahead of time for what may be a rant.
Here is what I know: My grandma has been communicating with someone since at least November and maybe a couple years she met on words with friends. He convinced her to give away photos of her credit card, her license, photos, and possibly thousands of dollars.
She has had the bank contacting her regarding fraudulent charges and she’s been dismissive of them which raised suspicions. After seeing a message on her phone saying “baby i need you to do something on instacoin for me” I snooped and pulled my aunt into the situation at family dinner. It was gut wrenching and horrible.
What we saw is: Photos of her credit card Photos of her license Requests for Apple cards Requests for bitcoin Requests for instacoin And multiple calls from what may be fraudulent TDcard numbers requesting social security and date of birth information.
My question is what do we do from here? I have canceled her credit card and she’s very resistant to going to authorities, can I do this alone (she thinks they have a romantic relationship)? How do find I out how much he’s taken?
Thank you in advance for any support.
