My father, he's 75 and has lived alone for a couple decades, fell victim to a romance scam.

Uh-oh.

And he funneled every dollar he had into it.

Oh, my gosh.

And my brother and I, we ultimately did an intervention with him and, you know, cut off that

hemorrhaging.

But now he's just in a rough place.

He barely has a couple dollars to his name, just living pension check to pension

check, barely taking care of just the bills.

How much did he funnel into it?

About 150.

Can I tell you something?

This is the second call that we've taken on this in the last two weeks.

I was on the last time, John, when a lady called in, it happened to her mother.

Oh, gosh.

This is the catfishing.

It's just, it's unbelievable.

Such an awful scam.

So how can we help?

What do you think is the biggest challenge or where do you think we can try to give you

some practical wisdom here?
