My grandma then revealed to my mom that she had met Johnny Depp in a chat room and they were engaged to get married, but he needed her to send $3000 to the UN so he could get out of some movie contract and come “take care of her.” She somehow managed to go to the bank, cash a check for $3000, then send it via bitcoin to this guy.
Come to find out, my grandma has now sent him her card information, told him her address and how much her house is worth, how much is in her account, my parents names, numbers and address, all of her grandkids names and numbers, and even more. My mom has tried over and over again to convince her this is a scammer and she’s putting all of us at risk, but there is literally no reasoning with her.
Oh no this makes me wanna cry. Somebody’s poor sweet grandma. Older people become so isolated as they age. And loneliness combined with possible declining mental functioning (which HAS to be happening to some extent, she’s giving away all her money and grandkids’ info)…this makes me sick. I hope whoever is pulling this scam in particular is caught and punished severely.

This is one of the few celebs where it seems plausible that he'd need money, though 💀
