I also concur with Gardenmama and I didn't think about it being a stranger scamming....but very possible. We received a call a long time ago from an unknown female saying she was in trouble and needed money. We were a poor target because the only female we would have responded to on something like that would be our daughter who was about 12 at the time....asleep down the hall. It was a scam.
Time will reveal more....it always does.
Hugs from another Mom who understands what you're going through.
