By proceeding, I agree that I understand the following disclosures:
I. How We Work in Washington. Based on your preferences, we provide you with information about one or more of our contracted senior living providers ("Participating Communities") and provide your Senior Living Care Information to Participating Communities. The Participating Communities may contact you directly regarding their services. APFM does not endorse or recommend any provider. It is your sole responsibility to select the appropriate care for yourself or your loved one. We work with both you and the Participating Communities in your search. We do not permit our Advisors to have an ownership interest in Participating Communities.
II. How We Are Paid. We do not charge you any fee – we are paid by the Participating Communities. Some Participating Communities pay us a percentage of the first month's standard rate for the rent and care services you select. We invoice these fees after the senior moves in.
III. When We Tour. APFM tours certain Participating Communities in Washington (typically more in metropolitan areas than in rural areas.) During the 12 month period prior to December 31, 2017, we toured 86.2% of Participating Communities with capacity for 20 or more residents.
IV. No Obligation or Commitment. You have no obligation to use or to continue to use our services. Because you pay no fee to us, you will never need to ask for a refund.
V. Complaints. Please contact our Family Feedback Line at (866) 584-7340 or
[email protected] to report any complaint. Consumers have many avenues to address a dispute with any referral service company, including the right to file a complaint with the Attorney General's office at: Consumer Protection Division, 800 5th Avenue, Ste. 2000, Seattle, 98104 or 800-551-4636.

For example, Keanu had like 40 followers and was following about 400 women, all my age and similar looks. I had one pic of myself I accidentally posted, sence I'm so technically Smart. Haha.
So anyways it was obvious not Keanu Reeves.
I doubt if that helps but all good to know anyways
Seems she has made her decisions already and lost her money already. You certainly can try to find all the old Dr Phil shows that have on women who did similar things, but don't know what good that would do at this point. Youtube has films about scams as well.
I would simply bow out of this. As Nacy says, you can bring the horse to water, but can't make it drink.
If your Mom has a photo of this man, scan the photo or copy image if the photo is in his e-mail, and do a "reverse image". There are numerous websites that offer free "reverse imagine".
Chances are great the photo is a fake, that the photo actually belongs to a real person who has nothing to do with this scam. I know Dr. Phil had caught many using a fake photo. The person in the photo has been scammed, too.
No man worth his salt would ask a woman to pay for his needs. Ask her would she date someone in town who would ask her to pay for dinner and the movies every time he wanted to go out? Ask her to buy him clothing/jewelry?
And at this point, she's probably so totally emotionally and mentally invested in this that there's no means of getting thru to her. Can you become her POA and speak directly with her bank? She needs new accounts and to close her existing accounts - and not to have access to them. Everything needs to go thru you. It's probably the only way it can be managed at this point...she's already lost enough and if things remain as is, she'll lose whatever is left. It's completely obvious. She may not have dementia, but she possess poor judgement - and that's still a danger. And you can tell her that sending those kinds of funds can be considered money laundering - and legally, she's placing herself in a bad situation.
This $$$ she's wasted is her future old age $$$ which is now gone. You're better off having her not speaking to you than taking her into your home later on down the road to care for her, that's for sure.
We have a neighbour who supposedly is of sound mind but has fallen for romance and investment scams. The bank froze his accounts to investigate and he fought with them to have his money released to the scammers. Doubled down that the lies were truths. Nobody could convince him otherwise. I think deep down he knows he’s being defrauded but his life is dull and it provides excitement.
Be sure not to spend a single penny of your money on her.
