Will try to cut this long story to something brief.
My father in-law is being scammed. He is 85 and has always been someone with dillusions of grandeur of fighting some meaningful cause. He has been involved in politics his whole life.
Five years ago he connected with a woman online who was trying to help veterans who were exposed to Agent Orange and he sent her $2k. She is documented online as being a scammer but he doesn’t believe it.
My mother in-law found out and he stopped...we thought.
My mother in-law passed last summer and it has come to light that he kept up contact with this woman.
In the last three months he has given her $10k to fight for information on Native American homes that have mould (what?).
She showed up at his house yesterday and it looks like he will be providing her room and board.
We are stuck on what to do. This is all his choice and it is his money.
He is a crusty old bugger who is not going to listen to logic. He does not have a strong emotional tie to any of his three children and no other family either.
Unfortunately my wife does have a strong emotional tie to him.
Looking to the FFA for ideas.
