It’s really sad to hear about the 73-year-old woman.Her story shows why it’s so crucial to have people in your life who you can chat with about these things.
she did have someone in her life she could talk about it to. didn't you read the story? she ended up asking her friend for advice but that was AFTER she made that money grab.

It’s tough to call someone dumb for being caught in a scam like this
you would think someone that had amassed $700,000 liquid cash would be smarter than to just give it all away. so yeah it was dumb.

because these schemes are designed to be convincing and prey on hope and trust. It’s just a tough reminder for all of us to stay sharp and support each other, especially those who might not be as familiar with these kinds of tricks.
it's a bitcoin ATM. all she had to do is google "bitcoin" and that would pretty much tell her what she was doing was irreversible. some people just were meant to be broke and maybe this lady was one of them this may all sound harsh but thats how i see it.

that is the difference between younger age and the Older one , because they felt nothing to gain from their capacity and with this they become greedy , we don't know what's her plan why she wanted that 3.5million because we are not there to ask her and give us her motive , yet this is het fault and we cannot do anything about this.
I just felt sorry for her still.

i remember a story about this lady getting scammed and she went to a computer shop hoping they could fix everything. well, no unfortunately, computer shops can't reverse bitcoin transactions. your life savings is gone, lady. that's a really sad story how desperate someone would be to go to a business for help like that. i'm sure she needed that money too.
lol computer shop , and even if that shop could help about recovery for sure they will be the one that would took the funds after, we are talking tons of money here and not just some penny that can be given as a free services , mostly this kind of stuffs can change every humans Attitude and behavior.

lol computer shop ,
you want to know what's even worse? after getting scammed,she went to the GEEK SQUAD. that's right the best buy geek squad.

https://www.bestbuy.com/site/computer-tablet-services/geek-squad-24-7-support-welcome/pcmcat748300520360.c?id=pcmcat748300520360

imagine sending $15k or $20k to a scammer at a bitcoin ATM and showing up to the geek squad hoping/thinking they can help you get your money back now that is a sad situation.  but that's exactly what happened. and it happened to a lady. these scam victims seem to be women i'm not sure why that is but i do not really see as many men falling for this scam as women. what do you guys think about that?

are men just smarter?  Shocked
