family member just scamed for 10 k!! fawk(long but crazy)

[hurricane]

scammers called her 7 am saturday morning..told her i was in jail in canada(i live in ny)(they called from a canadian area code also). they said i flew up there emergency status because a friend of mine died in a car crash.Then while up there i got stopped in a car with cocaine in and got arrested.they said they were a bails bondmans and put fake cops on the phone to talk to her..sargent dooley(fucking LOL @ that).
she then proceeded to western union them 10 k to (get this LOL) columbia(forgot the reason they gave for this but more bullshit basically)..(even more crazzy)they told her NOT to tell anyone about it because it would hamper their plans of getting me out quick(i know u gotta be fucking kidding me)
yes i know she was stupid..very stupid and nieve.she is almost 80 years old so i give her a pass. i just got done yelling at her and comforting her all last night..cant believe she would fall for such bullshit.im thinking it got to be professionals if they got 2 countries canada and columbia involved in this or it could be someone who knows the family but all the people i associate dont know her last name (different then mine), where she lives or that she would do that
there are some real scumbags in this world..real scumbags

i guess she can basically kiss this money goodbye from what people are telling us..cocksuckers

We need something like a financial death penalty for scammers and identity thieves. I like the idea of confiscating and selling everything they own and everything that can be connected to them.

Then we'll lump massive jail time on top of that.

Otherwise, this mess is only going to get worse.
