My Mother Is Convinced She’s Dating Barron Trump

Card image cap

Location: New York City

My mother (age 53) is convinced that this person she met online is Barron Trump and is sending him money. I first discovered this about two weeks ago when she told me about her new boyfriend. I was interested given the fact that she hasn’t gone on a date in 20 years and asked who it was. She said she was dating Barron Trump (yes that one) and that he had reached out to her. She told me that she knew about social media scammers but this request came from someone who was “verified“ and had photos of himself. I asked her if he asked her for any money and she said that he was actually adding her to his will. She started talking about how rich we were going to be when they got married and when I pressed further she said that he had asked for “just” 75,000 as a loan bevause all of his money was tied up in stocks. She said that he was going to pay her back with interest in a few weeks and that they were going to meet in person around the same time. She has already sent 13k to a bitcoin account and was going to send the rest this Sunday. What should I do and who do I contact to stop this. (my mother does not have dementia or any other cognitive impairments like it but had a really bad experience with love a long time ago (how I was born) and always talks about finding the perfect one)

Any advice is appreciated
