A lady down the street had her mom get taken for $500K of gold bars. She loaded it into their car. Thought she was part of a scheme that the FBI was investigating and she was to not tell her family else it would rope her family into the group of suspects. None of it makes sense but to her it was completely believable.
Why did some random lady you know's mom have $500k worth of gold bars?
They had her take her retirement money, pull it out and convert it to gold because they told her it was safest that way. They said by being physical the thieves couldn't take it. The irony.
Come to think of it another old lady friend got taken for 20K but it wasn't the gold thing. I think it was just good ole graft. Sad story. Her kids took over her estate after consulting with her and are now forcing her to move into an old folks home. They are selling her home she's had for 50 years. A friend offered to buy it direct and they said nope... talk to the real estate agent. A holes.
