As the title says, my 80yr old mother believes she is talking to the country singer Cooper Alan. It started in Facebook, then moved to WhatsApp, now she is on bloody Signal! I feel sick!

She will not believe me that this is not real. It has gotten to the point that they are telling her they are moving to Australia to near our town to be near her. At this point, I am convinced she has dementia.

They are also telling her their bank details and how much they have in the bank, next step, I am sure is to ask for her bank details as they need to move money from US to Oz, so their management can’t get it. Yep, that is part of the scam, telling her their management is trying to steal their money.

I have sent her videos of the real Cooper Alan saying he will never contact anyone privately, she believes she is talking to him. The scammer has even faked Coopers mom messaging my mom to say thank you for making him smile again. I feel sick.

How do I prove to her this is fake? I am at a loss. I have pulled out all the stops, telling her she loves the scammer more than me. Please help, I don’t know what to do.

UID: MainEngineeringWC.....I'm not sure what his issue was, but he came off super rude simply because I did not reply fast enough. Mind you I have a whole job. The way the conversation started off right off the bat was super suspicious. I never borrowed anything from this person, nor have I had prior dealings with them. They messaged on WHATSAPP from a 7866929785 # then proceeded to blow my phone up when I didn't want to get a loan from them. They go by a name "JT" but they could change their name. If you come across them be mindful because they will come off super rude and start sending threats. Just wanted to post this so that at least someone will be safe from this psycho.

These guys are fucking scams jaysauces uses telegram accepts the payment then put you in touch with his delivery person after telling you the exact amount to send and it being sent the delivery person then asks for $150 in shipping. Then they told me they would fix it only to get their other “shipping company to tell me they need a $300 deposit but don’t worry I’ll get it back. They add you to a stupid group that shows you customers that got there packages which is all fake

Don’t trust “Ultimate Mobile Solution” fb page he got me too out of $151.00 he was supposed to refund me my money back today like promised but didn’t because he couldn’t unlock my two iPhone and won’t respond to my messages or look at them and his Facebook profile page link is https://www.facebook.com/share/1JiRMrtHpq/?mibextid=wwXIfr spam is comment and call him a scammer and his inbox spam his inbox call him a scammer etc.

I talked with a guy on discord and I wanted to know if this trade could be a possible scam. I had about 130 dollars worth of skins (1 knife and other skins), he told me that he could give me 180 dollars worth of balance in dmarket. I submited my skins to dmarket (official website dmarket.com) he told me that once the skins were trade unnlocked he would buy them there. He told me he is going to use them on buff later (thats how he makes money of it). My skins were tradedd with the offical dmarket bot. Is there any kind of way he could scam me like that? He told me it would be a win win for the both of us, but it just seems too good to be true. I just want to know if Im ok (or if I should trade reverse it). All of this was made in a call with him. If you could tell me I would appreciate it.
Also, the skins are officially on my inventory on the website, but he his waiting for them to not be trade ban to buy them
