This week on The Perfect Scamp.

I try to help this guy, get him closed, getting my cell phone,

being like a family to him.

I felt like I was totally betrayed.

It's pretty rare that you could get to be in your 30s and have no

digital history. He had none. We found absolutely nothing about him.

Welcome back to the perfect scam.

I'm your host Bob Sullivan.

Kindness, empathy, generosity, gratitude. These are all wonderful human impulses to be cherished and honored.

The world wouldn't go round without them, but sometimes they can be used against us. That's what happened

to Janet Grows. A recent widow living on a farm in rural Oregon, she was traveling the world on mission trips using her skills as a retired

health care worker when she was approached by a man named Hope about an ambitious project

to build tiny homes for homeless veterans.

She jumped at the chance to help.

But instead of Hope, Janet found herself living through months of despair.

At one point, there was a restraining order which kept her from visiting part of her own property.

Here's our story.

Let's meet Janet. That's a beautiful part of Oregon that you're in.

Oh, thank you. We get Oregon coast, it's not very far, and we are close to the

Emcore River and it goes all the way to Winchester Bay.

It is beautiful place to go fishing, crabbing.

And apparently, Amkor River is famous all over the world.
