    Her BANK asked her - said DONT TAKE THE MONEY OUT! Her FINANCIAL ADVISOR said DONT DO THIS! The Gold bar seller even tried to stop her. She should not claim victimhood now. Glaring red flags were ignored.

If anything, as ridiculous as this gold bar scam is, it's nothing compared to the ridiculousness of religion that people just accept as Gospel truth every day.

      I don’t think the scammers scammed her money to invest more and make more for her. They tricked her into thinking her bank account was hacked, meaning her money was no longer “safe” there, when it really was. Then manipulated to change it into gold since that can’t be hacked or drained. I think she thought they “the government” will help her relocate her gold bars to safer account or safe. So when she didn’t receive the “receipts” it finally clicked. Pig butchering is a well known scam that we are warn elders about, but her scam was not pig butchering. Sadly, she was manipulated to basically give it away to protect her money and family. Almost like a kidnapping extortion but without one occurring.

    3- She should’ve went down to the Bank herself in person. If the bank is closed when she gets these calls, then that means No employees will be at the bank to call her(which should/would be the only people calling her about any issues, not anyone else)

I was in a grocery store and an elderly man was buying visa gift cards, lots of the . At one point the employee tried to stop him, and told him there was a limit in how much he could spend on gift cards with a bank card/credit card. Instead of stopping, he pulled out a big bundles of cash. He was hell bent on getting scammed. Nothing was stopping him.
