A friend's mother (80 yrs.) is being scammed by someone. This scammer tells her that he loves her, plus asks her for money, which she freely sends. She denies being scammed, does not want to block his number. She also takes money from family members. Adult Services (a young person) interviewed her and said she was perfectly sane. We don't know what to do. Her son has medical POA but not financial POA.
Once you have “specialist’s” report in hand you will have a clearer sense of what you can or can’t do FOR HER SAFETY. Hopefully you can find someone with the appropriate expertise.
If possible get financial POA now and have it immediate. Then DH can have some controll over the money.
