she went as far as asking them to call her because she doesn't like typing with her thumbs. Then she got another request from another one of her friends on facebook. I have told her many times that if there is anything where anyone is asking for money, including her friends, to call me first. Fortunately, she has always called me.

What really angers me is it makes my mom feel really dumb and gives her uncertainty about things. Makes me furious. There is a special place in hell for those folks. Preying on the kindest, nicest folks. Good to know about the USPS interception. Glad your mom got her money back.
