At this point I am willing to try anything to make her understand that she is not talking to Russell Crowe. If I could reach out to Mr. Crowe or his manager, I would do whatever it takes to get her to understand that she needs to stop.This month, Septermber she found out that she has Breast Cancer and will be going into surgery in October. Her doctor knows of this texting and he has mentioned to her she needs to save her money because of not knowing what she might need in the future after surgery. She is not truthful with Dr.We asked the Dr. if there's anything we can do, he said since she is buying and sending cards to this person, there's nothing to do.
Do you have any suggestions??
Thank you,

These scammers are horrible and target lonely old people.
At the very least Notify bank that your mother is a vunerable elder that is falling victim to phone scams and possible elder financial abuse. Ask what needs to be done to prevent fraudulant withdrawls or payments. Put a hold or freeze her credit cards. I believe that there can be a freeze on credit checks to prevent applying future lines of credit.
These types of scams make me sick. Best of luck!
Cut off this person's money supply period. This is a scammer. Call the bank, give them the person's e-mail address and place a flag on this account.
Contact the Federal Trade Commission and pass on the information. Block this person's number or e-mail address.
As for your mother, let her have a tantrum. She can scream and rant all she wants.
People need to stop allowing this to happen. This is a vulnerable adult.
Do you have POA or access to her funds?
