my mom was just completely scammed of everything. she was sent $3,500 from Zelle (mobile banking) and was called from what she thought was her “bank” (she thought it was her bank because they mimicked the banks phone number) telling her it was fraudulent and gave them all her information in order to fix it. once she realized she was scammed she called her actual bank and they told her they have to do an investigation that can take up to 10 days and even then they might not refund any of her money. she is so extremely overwhelmed she is threatening killing herself and selling our house and i don’t know what to do. i’m shaking in fear for what is going to happen as my mom supports my family. so please if anyone has any advice or experience in this please tell me. i don’t know what to do we have no family in the state we live in and this just killed us we weren’t very wealthy before this but now it’s hopeless please help i’m sorry if this is the wrong subreddit
edit : sorry for the confusion but they started with 3500 but after she gave the information they went through her accounts and wired everything she had. they took the money she inherited from my grandpa and everything she had saved up.
