My boss is in love with a scammer

Dear Pastor,

I think my boss is being scammed by a guy she met online. He finds ways of asking her for money, and she sends it to him. Even if she's not feeling well, he forces her to send him the cash. Her kids and grandkids tell her it's a scam, but she's not taking heed. She curses the kids when they mention that the guy is a scammer. They don't do voice or video calls; only text messages on Hangout.

This guy always has an excuse. He was supposed to meet her in person some months back -- they met four months ago -- but not one phone call as yet. This guy has got more than $1.5 million from her already, and now he wants to use her phone number, via WhatsApp, for some reason. I think he's up to something big with her phone number.

I feel sorry for her, but she's not taking advice from anyone. I think this guy is about to leave her with nothing, because she keeps on sharing personal information with him. This is a long story, but I tried to make it short. How can I help this lady since she's not paying attention, pastor?

Dear Writer,

I suggest that you talk to this lady's children and encourage them to report this man to the police. Use the little information that you have about him. You said that she sends money to him, so you should try to ascertain where the money goes and to whom, and what is the address. Perhaps she has fallen in love with this man. Scammers are good in sweet-talking women they have never met.

Regardless of the currency, $1.5 million is a lot of money. You and her children would be helping her greatly if the matter is put in the hands of the police.
