- It’s an all too familiar tale, a woman meets the man of her dreams online, who promises her the world only to scam her out of thousands of pounds. For 76 year old Elaine Chamberlain, her alleged scammer 'brainwashed' her into believing they would get married so he could steal her £20,000 life savings before she died with just £120 in the bank and the wedding dress she hoped to wear. Her son Richard joined us in the studio to share Elaine's heartbreaking story.

Why isn't this classed as financial abuse?!? because she gave it willingly??? But she was conned out of it !!!! STILL financial abuse!!!!!!! 😡
Of course it is BUT no matter what, she was a willing participant. And that’s what these scammers manipulate people to do. The victim is so convinced that this is real, they can’t see it. It’s so widespread now, especially in the States and Australia and one woman sent over a million dollars and lost her home, pensions she’d cashed in etc.
Because she gave it willingly
This is absolutely tragic. What a horrendous way for your mother's life to end. No justice. 💔🥺 I'm so sorry.
It was her fault.
The justice comes in the afterlife. Allah will exact the justice
@@Bless-cs9ct hahhahahahahahahahahahaha
@@sesspess the fingers that typed those 'hahahas' will speak against you one day. Watch
What a wonderful son.
It seems like he tried what he could. At one point you can't fight their delusion.
I feel so bad for him
Tragic story and no doubt many more out there. People fail to understand that the scammer has mastered the art of manipulation, so much so that the victim actually comes to believe what they are being told, and whilst in this honeymoon phase they can't discern the lies from the truth. Scammers can vary from super uber smart to not so, so that in itself will dictate the level and length of engagement, that and the vulnerability of the victim.
The web allows the world into your house. Remember that.😃
I don’t know what they hand in other countries but in the US there is adult protective services. It was a different situation when my mom was being taken advantage of. I got really scary with them to get them to back off and reported them every way I could. But it made me sad because my mom missed their small child and she really thought they were her friends.
I mean it sad she died of delusion amd fetishism....there's even one guy I know who chooses to send stupid mounts to scammers. Can't tell him nothing he even admits indirectly he knows they aren't real and he's got no chance with them I'm there like don't be a idiot I'm a real person send it me. No seriously. Some ppl are weird love delusion remember ignorance is bliss and it's not always by choice
The son was so caring and loving to his mum stayed by her side until the end. He was very wise to get the authorities involved. Professionals involved. I would say a lot of moral support from loving family and friends. I hope his wife and loving fella has wonderful future. 😢❤❤😊😊
My condolences to the son
Tragic if that was my mother I would honestly move her in with me and remove all phones,laptops
Princess diana was right , loneliness is the biggest disease in the world. Heartbreaking ;(((((((((((((((((
OMGS never give up on your mom
Very sad
