my name is Elizabeth and I monitored the Army Facebook page for over 10 years to warn people about scammers using our military. I have talked to thousands of victims, worldwide and the number one reason for getting scammed is loneliness. These scammers go by a script and when I talked to victims I would say “he did this and that and this is what you can expect next”. I have had husbands reach out to me because of their wives being scammed, we have sent police to a man’s house in Australia because of scammers. We lose seven people a week to suicide because of scams.. I could tell you horror stories and about me talking over the conversation with scammers to protect victims.

They even opened offices in Lagos and Ghana and scammers are employed. Good luck to that woman and her mother but scammers are very good at grooming and manipulating and no, I have never been scammed.
