I do have POA. I have changed her phone number, taken her to the Dr, done everything I know to do...is there any recourse from her credit card accounts? she can no longer even afford to pay her utilities and misc. bills because of this. She has nothing left to give and I have very little wiggle room in my budget, please help!
For the other bills, call those vendors and ask if you can pay a little each month until your Mom is caught up with the amount.
Since your profile says your Mom had age related decline, she should still be able to understand that she threw her money away on the scam and now she can't pay her utilities or misc bills.
If one of the utilities is her cellphone or her cable, take it away from her. Again stress the fact that she doesn't have the money to pay for it. She'll get the phone/cable back once she has saved up enough money to pay the bill. Sometimes one has to use tough love in situations like this.
