OK so it's all sorted now. Basically my mother was being scammed by some nigerian scumbags doing the military dating scam. They were posing as a captain at blackjack. She wouldn't believe me untill today when he asked for £400 refundable money to pay his airfare to come over and see her...Then she believed me. She's a lonely old dear at times and is very vulnerable at the moment, this kind of thing makes me real vexed.
