Annie was very devious. She did exactly the things that were described in this article and everybody thought she was so lovely to be taking such good care of my uncle. She even offered to take me on a trip to India so that I could learn about her country first hand. Little did I know she was going to do that with my uncle's money! Ever so glad it never happened.<br /><br />If someone who is helping a loved one of yours seems too good to be true, he or she IS too good to be true. Please keep an eye on these people as best you can!

My brother and his wife were the closest to me at the time and there wasn't anything that wasn't too much to do for me. They often came to me for great amounts of money to help out with this and that and slowly as my bank account was down to just a few dollars. When the money had dried up so did their help for me, while they promised to pay it all back when I asked for money from them I was promised the world but nothing ever came from them. A new Lady had come into my life and she was an accountant with a big business firm, when I told her the fix I now found myself in she knew what to do legally about it. Sadly under the laws of my country when legal action was taken my brother and sister in-law found an easy out, They Filed For Bankruptcy'. Never a cent would I get back, but from that all I would gain the greatest person I could ever hope for to share my life. With my money gone I did eventually marry the lady who tried to help me get back that which was rightfully mine, money doesn't make a happy life because we have worked hard and become comfortable, but money did teach me one very important lesson, Not Everyone even close Family Are To Be Trusted, well that's what I learned any ways.

It's the anatomy of a set-up and our most vulnerable seniors are targets of these unscrupulous people. I know that we will all be targets in the future because as our health goes, our ability to be victimized grows exponentially-these people specifically target the vulnerable. By detailing step-by-step how this occurs, you will make it apparent that those "innocent" appearing events by scammers are part of the pattern. A big thank you to you!!Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00102126046502145605noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6726760868307129738.post-12416159896908000922016-07-08T09:50:05.819-07:002016-07-08T09:50:05.819-07:00I am so sorry that person did that to your dad.
