Over $21K lost in December

The documents with names and bank information where the scammers asked to have the money sent.  The names may not be the true names of the involved scammers, but perhaps they had bank accounts set up with those names.  Most important is the actual bank account information which might be traceable to prosecutable individuals

connecting the dots

I stumbled on a post yesterday - written in 2005 -- a truth that connects the dots, a truth about my own life, and my own family, written by a stranger. 


http://aelfscine.wordpress.com/2005/08/02/the-hub-fashions/


This is a story about greed.

This is a story about loss.... of life, of self, of things that don't matter. 

This is a story about growing old, and the turning over of the life cycle. 

This is a story about mental illness, so insidious and yet so blatant.  Judgement and reality long lost. 

This is a story about innocence---- and the birds eye view of a stranger who captured the essence of a being and a time now long gone. 


I have been so mad at him for the last weeks, for the insanity he inflicted on my life, and I had withdrawn back to my own life, had decided to walk away, at least for a while, until I saw this story, and I suddenly felt pity, and embarassment, and protective (all at once) for the crazy old man who is my father.

We are in a true war

Senior Fraud 
is a form of
terrorism
directed against
one family at a time.

The costs to our society are much larger than has been appreciated so far.

Your father is wiring 38K to Africa tomorrow

This is a day I will never forget :  December 23, 2009

The names and locations have been changed in order to protect the innocent.

The cell phone rings.  I answer it.  A strange voice on the other end says, "Hello, Anne.  This is Steven Johnson from the Bank in Smalltown, Minnesota. I am the president of the bank and thought I could justify calling you since your name is also on the account.  Your father has scheduled a wire for $38,000 to Africa tomorrow  We are concerned because we think he is being scammed.............."

Life has never been the same since that day.
