That story seems sketchy...
Why didn't she call her bank first and stop it when she saw it? You never call unknown numbers.
When you log onto your PayPal, all your transactions are listed. Was it there under who's business? Why didn't she use the real PayPal number on her account...not the fake one on some email?
Then opps, you put a decimal in the wrong place and now we have $89K in your account
Whoo Hoo!
I'd hang up and verify that, but she didn't. That also takes at least a day, it's not immediately.
Now we have a fake bank account? Is it a PayPal account? It certainly cannot be hers, so where did this new bank come from with this huge deposit immediately showing not pending?
Then she wires them $24.5K to fix a problem. make -0- sense.
On and on...you would think at some point in people's lives they realize nothing is instant and to sit and think about it.
It's ridiculous things like this that keep the scammers rich and more and more fall for it. Would they have fallen for this scam 10 years before?
