Internet Fraud

I have some major issues with my own father and he was the one of the reasons why I moved out of the house. I moved out three months ago to help out with my grandparents while my granny is in the nursing home, hopeful be out sometimes this month. How can I convince my own father who does not believe the e-mails that he recieve are scams and he gave out infos out to them as well. He is on home care from Hospic. Are there any way I can get some information on how to clear his name or is it too late for me to do anything. My father and I got into agruements alot about it and he isn't not all there. All he thinking about is money, money and money and I told him that there no one gonna give him money from another country or so whatever. He put my mom and myself under a lot of pressure. I had to lied to him that i sent the check over to them but the truth is that i burned the check and lied to him that I had sent it. He knew that we don't have that kind of money that they wanted. Thanks.

This is a great question. In some cases, where a person has lost the ability to make rational decisions, a court can appoint someone else to act on their behalf. It may or may not apply in your case. You should discuss it with a lawyer. HTH V2K1

I'm sorry for what you are going through. Maybe if you had him look at http://www.snopes.com it could help. That site debunks all the urban legends and fake emails. My mom often forwards emails to me that are fake and I look them up on snopes and show her coz she won't believe me but she will believe that site. Hope that helps.

"He is on home care from Hospic" Is that his income or some kind of insurance? Either way, if he is sending that money away to something, and it is not his earned income, then he is stealing it. Put that in his face, and tell him you will report him if he keeps sending away.
