SF retiree loses $500K life savings to pig butcher scam despite family warnings [video]
- randycupertino 8mo agoThis one is really sad. The gentleman who was scammed was actually a volunteer at a call center helping the elderly prevent scams and he still fell for this, despite his son and other family members cautioning him that it was a scam.
