Thank you. voice-verified

Man, I so feel for this listener because it's really heartbreaking what their father is going through. voice-verified

And as we'll get into in a little bit, I've experienced something similar. voice-verified

So when I saw this email come through to the podcast inbox, I knew we had to tackle it because there's so much going on and it's so difficult to help your parents when you're kind of in this role reversal of, you know, kind of parenting them. voice-verified

But man, it's just it's a tough one. voice-verified

Well, we're gonna take on this listener's question ourselves. voice-verified

And like I mentioned, this really rang true to me and it hit kind of close to home because my own dad experienced a kind of similar scam a few years back. voice-verified

I want you to do what feels most authentic to you, Elizabeth. voice-verified

I would say do a little bit of both. voice-verified

You know the story, but some listeners might not have heard it. voice-verified

So act super surprised on their behalf. voice-verified

Well, we actually made a podcast series a couple of years back all around scams, and in one of the episodes I interviewed my dad for the whole story. voice-verified

So if folks haven't listened to that, I recommend going back deep into our archives. voice-verified

I believe it was spring twenty twenty four and check out our three-part or four-part scam series. voice-verified

And one of the episodes does have my dad right. voice-verified

So basically he met quote unquote a woman, someone pretending to be a woman at least, on Facebook. voice-verified

Facebook and they messaged him and said, Hey, like look at this great car that I have. voice-verified

Oh, oops, all of a sudden my car is in an accident and I need some money. voice-verified

And by the way, I actually have a bunch of money to pay for this fancy car and get it fixed because of this crypto scheme of making money. voice-verified

And wouldn't you like to make some money too? voice-verified
