Description
My mother was taken by a scammer who told her that there was some security/fraud going on at her bank. The scammers then put someone on the line that was claiming to be the bank. They told her the same thing re the security risk. They told her to take all of her money out of the bank and buy $9000 in gift cards in order to protect her money. Which she did. Luckily they didn’t get the gift card info. We’re still trying to recover some of the money by contacting the issuing company.
