@veeesix What became of well-established adage that nobody is going to just offer you free money?
The format of the scam has changed a bit, but the fundamentals remain… electronic or old school paper, this should have been obvious as a scam.
Someone, 80 right now, was 50 when commercial internet became popular, & late-30’s / early 40’s when computers came to workplaces. This stuff is decades old, and everyone has had decades to learn.
I feel sorry for this victim, but it was preventable.

Totally preventable. Setting aside tech literacy for even a moment, they fully ignored the warnings their friends gave them and went along anyway.
