Mom Fell For Romance Scam, My Name Is On The Bank Account
Location: Vermont, US
So I just found out that my 65 year old mother is actually not as smart as I thought she was and she fell for a scam. I had told her about scams, but somehow she stupidly thought that a random man on the internet would love her so much he would send her money to "help her out". She cashed the check, and now she is in the negative for over $10,000 dollars. I literally just found this out after a week of her telling me that the bank screwed up and maybe someone at the grocery store saw her pin... Like what is actually wrong with her! It wasn't until I went in to see what was going on with my name being on her account (they have closed the accounts and are investigating the fraud), that I found out about the checks. She needs to make a police report, but she really doesn't seem to understand the gravity of this. Especially since she is still online dating, still doesn't see that this is a major issue, and says that the bank will take care of it.
My name was on the account as an authorized user, with her as the primary, so am I on the hook here too? I had my name added after she said she wanted to make it easier after she passes, but now has that screwed me too? I had nothing to do with this, but can they come after me in any way for this?
