Help me explain to my father he is being scammed.
My 73 year old father is a mess. He is constantly making terrible, stupid decisions and is about to be evicted. He is living off social security since he lost his job in the fall. Things are tough, who wants to hire an old man with health issues right? But he is about to be evicted due to late payments and the fact that he sent his January ss check, which is almost 3k, to some random 'friend' he knows from online who lives in Chicago. We told him it was a scam but now he is begging her for the money back and enlisting my sister to help with the technology aspect. The Chicago scammer is saying the funds are in her cashapp, but her account is frozen. She gives the explanation in the screenshot text. It's bs right?
