That’s not a scam that’s a robbery through intimidation. Should be considered as elderly abuse.
Exactly
Lol 😂😆
Yes, it sure should!!!!
Robbery in the first degree! Stick her in a cell and throw the key away disgusting!
I would definitely move my mother to another facility , they wouldn’t provide you with the security camera footage That’s absurd.
I'm glad she was not harmed physically.
🎄
Me too would just break my heart
This is sad, these people are really out here robbing elderly people. This is sick, I hope this evil woman is found and thrown in jail.
@@SantasClause-ut5fpstfu, by the looks of your comment. You sure is special.
@Santas Clause so yte ppl don't do this huh? You're assuming it was a black woman huh? I am seriously starting 8 yte ppl.
@Santas Clause take your trolling bs elsewhere. I wanna start💀 you people. So damn tired of you yte trolls.
What a lovely woman,so upsetting to hear that you can’t even go to dollar tree 🌲 w/o being scammed.But glad nothing worse happened!
Girl who told her to take em home and sign up for this invisible food box lol
This elderly lady was robbed and the apartment complex said “she willingly let the suspect into her apartment” . What type of heartless excuse is that
Red flag
Exactly, I would move immediately after that statement why give them money if they have no concern for their residents 🤬
Absolved them from liability of a break in/damages and I'm sure they had more to say and assisted in measures that's not represented in this news cast. Hopefully they catch them. ☹️
She definitely was robbed, but not burglarized.
@@trumoca Indeed
I hope the Dollar Tree has working cameras so they can help identify the crooks.
me too
Ha 😂
No matter how old you are never trust a stranger ever.
Ok but don't be a typical anthrophobe either labeling EVERYBODY either a pedophile or whatever the hell you perceive strangers as
Use discernment and common sense. Offer food 🍞🍕🍔 but not 💵
It's hard for elderly people to understand that people are so evil nowadays.
It’s hard for anyone, not the elderly.
My grandma is 90. I can assure you she is not naive and uses the spirit of discernment. I don’t think age has anything to do with someones capability of understanding that.
People were evil in the past as well. Begin evil is nothing new. It’s just more of it than before.
What l meant by my statement l guess, is l've seen elderly people (more than one) give out too much information over the phone to strangers. They are not necessarily suave in the slick ways of those who want to steal or hurt them. I had an older family friend that was having a man call her all the way from lndia, l think, that was wanting her bank account number for some scheme that had to do with gas rewards or something like that, and that he needed her help and it would be good for her also. One day l was there and heard the conversation so l had her give me the phone, l told him to stop calling her and bothering her. He had the nerve to tell me why did l care what she was doing. Another time l came to the house and she was waiting for some stranger to come over to the house, that she had talked to over the phone. But very, very, sadly a couple years later she wasn't heard from for a day or so and was found murdered and they later found out that the murderer was a drug addict who had broke into her home to steal money. And l know she never really kept cash at the house but he didn't l don't guess. And she really didn't have anything of value there either. He had murdered her during the night with a claw hammer, she was fiesty and fought back as he was murdering her so they found his dna under her nails.
Thank God she wasn't hurt 🤲
That part
At 87, this lady should be using a service like ACCESS for transportation for seniors. I bet this thief had been watching this senior from the time she drove into the parking lot. Criminals are always looking for someone to target. Once, when I was home from college for Christmas vacation, my parents told me they had tried unsuccessfully to get my grandmother to direct deposit her social security check. My grandmother preferred to get her check at the beginning of the month, go downtown to the bank and then pay bills at different department stores with cash. I accompanied her on the bus while I was home. We got off but not together because my grandmother exited the front door and I exited the back door of the bus. A young man on the bus also got off and followed my grandmother about two blocks while I purposely lagged behind. Just as she started toward the bank, I noticed he did not want to go inside but seemed to linger by the door. When I called out "grandma” just as she was opening the bank’s door, he turned around stunned and quickly fled. He was, no doubt, planning to follow my grandmother and try to rob her after she came out of the bank. But my grandmother did not even notice him. After I told my grandmother what happened, she agreed to use direct deposit and write checks to pay her bills.
All I can Say is WOW!
I'm so glad to hear how you outwitted that crooked seed of satan. In the future, have G-mom's bill to be paid directly from her bank account---go the paperless route. That way, G-mom is a step or two ahead of these no-good things we call people but are really demons among us.
@@bihsaidwhatnow2392 Thank you for your reply. You are right. These people have allowed Satan to overtake them. And that is excellent advice to use the Bill Pay feature of the bank to make the payments. That would have worked well for my grandmother. I appreciate this solution and hope others read it here and take this good advice. Unfortunately, my grandmother passed away back in 1997. But fortunately, she was never a victim of crime, praise God.
Yep, some older people are stubborn, they feel like if God is gonna let this happen, it's destined
@Donnell Okafor I agree.
No good deed goes unpunished unfortunately.
Exactly because you don't know people's intentions.
@@flc2009 you said the truth fr thats true
That's sad... Nowadays, never give a stranger a RIDE!!!! The old woman is very lucky she didn't get hurt.
Just like they taught us when we didn't know a thing about the world we lived in, it is now our turn to teach them. Folks, teach your elderly to stop offering help, stop worrying about seeming rude, and NEVER TALK TO STRANGERS. Tell them every day, like they did for us. It's a very different world, and they just don't know how different it truly can be.
It's so 💔 They/We, have to learn to be cold, bc of ppl in this world.
@@southernsass2937 💯 Devastatingly so. But, the good part is that for every moment we are being extra aware of our surroundings, we can also appreciate every single, beautiful moment we see and experience while noticing those details. We can still find the goodness and joy in those between-moments. We just have to know when to turn into our own little guard dogs, sense a dangerous situation, and get to snarling. But, other than that, happy, bouncy pup life. Let's turn that heartbreak into a win! 😉
@@psyckchyck Amen 😉
The biggest majority of elderly now are not as naive as the prior generation was. This elderly generation are mainly the baby boomer generation & KNOW EXACTLY how evil this world is & KNOW they can't trust anybody. They're the generation that's seen every serial killer from Ed Gein, John Wayne Gacy, The Nightstalker, The Son Of Sam, Bundy, Dahmer, & then some. They've witnessed the Wonderland murders, child abductions like Adam Walsh etc. They are more than aware of how evil society is. They don't come from the Great Depression or World War I generations. So actually unless she is beginning to develop dementia she doesn't have an excuse to not know to distrust everyone. especially strangers.
It's the insanity and heartlessness of such heifers as the one above, (who is probably trying to figure out right now how she can demand to speak with my manager), which has created this horrible, cold, and animalistic world we live in. I do not endorse anything posted by Ondeyowna Clown. Please, no one engage with it and perhaps it will crawl back under its lonely, dark rock to soullessly raise more little manimals who we will all have to handle later.
My mom is 67 and I have to constantly tell her that people are very nefarious& cold hearted nowadays so you cannot help any and everybody like you could years ago…
Is she the one who taught you to be a racist POS? May her death be agonizing and long
😘
I tried to help someone in a store while he was helping himself to my wallet with my everything in it!
I'm79 and I always look out for "crooks". They do prey on the elderly. I do online banking ,so I don't have to go to the bank. They can scam me online too, but that is somewhat protected.
Please warn your family members of helping others around this time in the holiday season especially giving rides to strangers. Scammers & Thieves have no morals & the elderly are an easy target for many reasons smh. I’m so glad this lady wasn’t hurt it could have went very differently smh
She had all the red flags she needed and she still went inside they house girl bye
@SWEET DREAMZ to the core
@DolphinMom096 & what was your point exactly?
@@trollallday151 girl bye? That’s real sassy for a man you must be sweet with your big forehead & struggle beard
@DolphinMom096 well that’s you & you aren’t her. This is a new day, age, & time so like I said the elderly are an easy target because they’re more trusting so go away you didn’t have to comment anything at all in the first place!
I used to be nice and offer people rides if they really seemed to need it. One day I helped a woman with a cane get to Wal-Mart it was only a block or so away. She then needed to stop somewhere along the way and acted as if I was inconveniencing her. I was leaving for work at the time as well. Needless to say i will never do that again. If anyone asks for money for food always direct them to a local church. They are speechless after that. Also most panhandlers are organized now and not homeless. Rant over.
NEVER give ANY ONE a ride ANY WHERE and WHY oh WHY would you let her in your home? I am so glad that all this thief took was her belongings. They can be replaced. SHE can't. Please Be Aware of your surroundings and of people.
Shame on the apartment complex!!!! She's 87 years old smh
What does the building management have to do with anything?
She is a victim.
However, she took the person home.
Clearly the apartment building wouldn't even turn over a damn video that could potentially help police find the person but sure let's blame the elderly 🙄🖕🏿
What did the apartment complex do wrong? They did not let anyone into her apartment- she did. People and you obviously are one have a problem with taking RESPONSIBILITY for your own action(s)
@@adjohnson2321 exactly.
Its sad for the poor old lady but I see comments blaming the building management. Lolllll really?
@@besxgoddess Seriously?! The apartment complex refused to give the media the tape NOT the police dept. The apartment management knows the police would just come up in there w/a search & seizure warrant if they were to refuse the release of the video to police. However, I don't blame them for refusing to turn it over to the media bcuz that means any Joe Blow off the street can claim they're media & get a copy of the video & what if other ppl are on that video going in & out of there but don't want certain ppl of the public know where they live? So it's a damn good thing they didn't turn the video over to the media.
That was heartless for that management to say. I don't care if she left the door open, taking things that don't belong to you is theft.
Shame on that woman. Picking on our most cherished individuals. Prayers for this family 🙏😔
So the apartment complex won’t let them see the cameras 🤯🤯 Id move my mother out of there real quick ‼️
The lady who robbed the old lady must be on drugs. She should know she's on camera at the dollar store. I'm just glad the lady is safe. Everything else can be replaced
Not judging got us here
blaming everything but the criminal got us here
The race card got us here
Taking shame away from being a bum got us here
taking shame away from illegitimacy got us here
not locking up the insane and drug addicted got us here
not enforcing vagrancy and loitering laws got us here
not enforcing immigration got us here
thinking diversity is a strength got us here
not encouraging faith patriotism and citizenship got us here
equating the enforcement of laws with racism got us here
not supporting the police got us here
voting democrat got us here
So must be the old lady who takes stalkers home and then forced to sign up for food boxes
Not necessarily. Just stupid. Look at the average thief and robber in Detroit. Do they look like they're on drugs or just stupid, low life people? I say the latter.
@@trollallday151 you'd think she's lived too long to be that damn naive but my nanna is the same 🙄
@@JLYT2024 the first thing you learn as a child is to not talk to strangers. They followed her in Dollar tree she admitted that thought it was weird and still to her home,went in her house and signed up for food she said she didn't need. Like come onnn
I tried to help someone I've known for 16 years. I gave him a place to live, my husband got him a good paying job with a career path, new clothes, food and much more and asked absolutely nothing from him in return. Last week he stole my car and was headed out of state when the cops caught him. On top of that he trashed my car in the less than 24 hours he had it.
You’re so fortunate that he wasn’t violent or stole other things or bank cards from you both! When you let people “stay” in your home, all kinds of things can happen, (I let shady characters stay with me in the past that I shouldn’t have) he could’ve demanded you evict him and he could’ve taken over your entire home, I know it hurts but thankfully it was just the car, even tho it’s awful that these people take advantage of someone just lending a hand. I say no now, mostly unless it’s coworkers going out to lunch with me. Even then, we still need to be safe.❤
@@stephaniepapaleo9001 , the second thing I did after going to police station to report the car stolen was cancel every card I had!
It's clearly impossible to trust ANYONE but God himself.
@@justme7777 you did the best thing you could do, next time you feel like helping, maybe you can help that person call an agency or get someone’s help so you don’t end up having to stay in your home, your space. My mom and I once helped a couple staying at a hotel we let them help with odd jobs in our house for the day but looking back at that, it was very unsafe and I’d never do that again!
I'm so sorry, that is heart breaking. He repaid evil for your good. He will answer for that! Some people just don't want to be helped.
Wow you never know your own family could have done worst
Never give anyone a ride. These days there are people out there who will take everything or harm you. It's a shame but it does.
I am 60 years old and I always keeping my eyes open and looking around my children thinks I am paranoid. But I don't trust anyone.
Rommie Jones. 60 is not old !!!!!
That is my point . That is not old, but to a crook they don't care they will take advantage of you from one to ninety nine.
Regardless of her letting the lady in her apartment- A crime was committed. She stole her purse and everything in it!! So why wont they run the cameras🤔And why wouldn’t the police seize the camera for evidence??
Exactly!! Wth? I said the same thing that is CRAZY
Did he say the management wouldn't give them the video because the elderly lady let the woman into her house?
What about the police?
Pull the tape at the Dollar Tree and put her picture on the news.
That is what happens when you try and help strangers. Take care of yourself. Especially if you are old.
It was sickening that this happened to this elderly lady. However, I felt when the young lady asked her for a ride home, it was a huge red flag. I would have immediately thought "how the hell did you get up here?" I've refused to give someone a ride before or simply told them I wasn't going in whatever direction they told me they were headed. It's unfortunate, but you really can't trust anyone these days, sometimes even people that you know, let alone strangers.
Exactly. Yes, you or I would have immediately thought something was up, thus, this scumbag thief purposely seeks out elderly and possibly more trusting people. The BEST advice is to drill into your elderly family member's heads to TRUST NO ONE. We constantly had to reiterate that to my Mom who lived to be 92 and a half, and it was hard for her to take that posture but after being "slightly" taken, not like this poor woman but she was being set up a few times and taken once, she got the message. Once a person reaches a certain age and scumbags know they are living alone, be very wary and keep a close eye on them and most importantly, keep an eye on their finances. Better yet, have them put YOUR name on all accounts as well so no worthless scum thief can steal from them.
On a related note - I became a widow at age 37 and I am now 51. I am cursed with looking 10-20 years younger than my actual age. I also walk everywhere. And every flipn day (this morning!) some male will slow down beside me while I walk and say - Do you know where (Name) Street is? And I give him directions thinking he (always a man!) is looking for that street. Then he says - Thanks! Can I give you a ride somewhere?.....Dudes! I walk for the exercise! And women don't accept rides from random males!!!!! (sigh - I fall for it every time, thinking the guy actually needs directions - next time this happens I am going to just ramble on with directions like - then count the trees and at the ninth tree turn left, go a little ways and turn where Jack used to live .....)
@@supportvawa2213 If you don't already, I suggest you carry a weapon of some sort and don't hesitate to use it, if necessary, and ask questions later.
@@rodentcafeteria that's some very unhelpful advice. Random males are always going to hit on me and I don't have the right to shoot them. In reality, if I were to shoot someone for asking for directions then I would be arrested.
@@supportvawa2213 I wasn't suggesting to shoot someone simply for asking for diections. However, these days, some guys can't seem to take "no" for an answer after they've offered you a ride and you've declined.
Even though the elderly lady let the scammer in , they still should have shown her face !
That's crazy not to !!
SMH
The apartment management did a very wise thing by not releasing anything to the media. The police are the ONLY ones they should be releasing that info to bcuz this is a case that is to be under investigation. It's up to the police dept. to release any information pertaining to the case. God forbid they release something that could jeopardize the investigation &/or prosecution. Not to mention there could be other ppl in that video that may not want the public knowing they live there. What if someone were to be in a witness protection program & some yutz from their apartment complex they live in just blows their cover by having their face plastered all over the tv, internet, & the entire world? All bcuz the media wants the video! Yeah, right.
It’s sad that we have to teach our elderly generation “Never talk to Strangers, and Stranger Danger.” just like we teach our children. I’m so glad this situation didn’t turn out worse than it did.
We don't have to teach our elderly that! They are a generation who have seen the birth of serial killers, child abductors & murderers, school shootings, & all the other deplorable things that have occurred over the past 75yrs! Ppl just need to be more aware of their elderly loved ones demonstrating actions of Dementia &/or Alzheimer's & THAT would help eliminate 90% of this type of thing. The other 10% of elderly being ripped off more or less comes from telemarketing scams.
Why would she let a stranger in her house in this day and age. Like seriously that’s crazy
My thoughts exactly
I’m not doubting the story but something don’t sound right sorry
With all the human trafficking and ppl disappearing this is non sense 😖😩🤷♀️🥺
Right, she knows better.
@@kittysunrise313 What you insinuating? Because what is their ti lie about, in this situation.
What does the apartment complex have to hide that they won't let her see the surveillance video?
I'm so sorry for this Woman. It's really a damn shame! How this criminal took advantage of this elderly Woman. I believe in KARMA.
I am so sorry this happened to this very kind lady. I do have to say not all older people are this vulnerable (or trustworthy); my cousin is a very spry 81 and if someone would try this with her, she would tell them, "F##k off!" and just keep walking.
Wow scary for her.. thank God she is alright and not harm...
Seniors needs more protection...
I am thankful the lady is doing well..
That's sad that nothing else can be done because she let that lady in willingly, but I'm glad she's ok. 🙏🙏🙏
🫢 God bless ! She’s too trusting . My Mom is 76 and doesn’t trust outsiders at all, I pray she doesn’t become a victim by these demonic , evil beings out here🙏🏼. Glad she didn’t hurt her .
I pray justice prevail in this situation. It’s sad that the elderly can’t enjoy their golden years.
Heartbreaking but should have figured out something was very odd when she said "I'm going home with you". Please watch out for our elderly this time of the year.
Wow I can't believe she let the lady in her house this is crazy..She needs supervision..I hope they catch them this is sad

My mom passed away on August 31st at 87 years old, I had her for the last 4 years she was the light of my life. We as daughters and also sons need to let our parents know we're there for everything including ranch to the doctor and you need to go in there and listen to what the doctor says because chances are they're going to forget. I know some are better than others but 87 is getting up there no matter how independent they want to be just tell them you love them and you want to go with them! If you don't make the time you live with a consequences. It's not that hard to take Mom grocery shopping twice a week and to have her schedule her appointments on whatever day is good for you to go get her and take her to the doctor look at everything they've done for us Merry Christmas
You are so right my dear but these elderly ppl are very stubborn they doesn't listen to anyone i work with them u can only try they are a piece of work lol
@@chrismachrismaplunkett8170 , don't listen
@@veravaladez1525 thanks for your correction
God Bless you. I did for both of my parents, my son doesn't do for me and we live 20 minutes apart and he only comes to see me on Christmas day for a hour or so. Says it's a long way to get here. His job is down this way, he has no complaints. Oh well. God has my back.
Why’d she even let the woman in her car?!
Absolutely sick!!!!! Evil does that!!!!!!! I hope she recovers her stolen items and I pray she is safe🙏🏽🙏🏽🙏🏽🙏🏽🙏🏽🙏🏽🙏🏽🙏🏽
Of course the apartment complex would place blame on this nice, elderly woman for being victimized instead of the lowlifes who victimized her. So sick of these scammers.
This is very bad. I hope they find and prosecute the lady. She was kind enough to give the lady a ride. Prayers for her and her family.
Smh praying for her safety and peace. This is why I don't let people get close to me especially out in public. Covid alone is enough to tell a person to step back.
🤦🏾♀️ I am so sorry that these wicked people in this world would take the advantage of a mother, grandma.
I hope they are caught and put in jail🤔
It's a sad world where people try to be nice by giving someone a ride and end up being robbed.
Jesus they won't provide video because the 87 year old let her in...WTF ! Give the police the damn videos 📹
Oh no! I am so grateful they didn't do bodily harm to this nice lady. God Bless. Stay safe everyone ❤️
Mrs. Washington is a beautiful woman, so very sorry this happened to her. What a lowlife individual, this was soo wrong, my family have all taken days to help with my granny so she is not out running into people like this.
Bless you all.
As the daughter, YOU need to sit your mother down and explain to her life in 2022/23 not 1950/60s. The world is evil & crazy. You DO NOT take people home with you, period! She’s lucky to be a live💯🙏🏿
No matter your age don't trust strangers. You never offer someone you don't know a ride, let alone let them in your home. You don't know these days what people will do.
People these days do not have a moral compass. They rob and kill there own parents.
Why did she let the lady in her house?🤷🏾♀️🙄
Everybody knows u don't give noone a ride anywhere!
Geniuses not in the inner city.
Honey she’s elderly and grew up where moral and character was prevalent cause we had to stick together. Now it’s hell in earth but that’s my take.
@@brittneyhailey That was then, this is now and she's living in it; and fully aware of what's going on in today's society. Face it, she got caught slipping.
@@brittneyhailey girl she knew that crazy lady was up to something and still took her home with her. That was dumb af! So stop it with the crap!
There should be video of this either from the store or the apartment unless this is a scam itself.
This Apartment Complex needs to be Investigated...there was a Crime Committed To An Elderly and they need to do everything they can to protect their tenants SAFETY...
We as children of elderly parents need to discern when are parents are no longer able to do things on their own. Clearly her mom was too trusting and the person was counting on that. She should not be driving nor running errands alone. These clowns never take time off and they are always looking for seniors that they can take advantage of. Thank god your mom was not hurt, as money and property can be replaced. I am just surprised that the facility’s cameras did catch footage of them.
Sorry to hear this but she didn't get scammed that lady robbed her she should not have let that lady in her home
I gave this lady a ride home one day it was at a dollar tree where she approached me and asked me if I could give her a ride, her daughter left her stranded. I normally don't give people rides but I felt this woman was sincere and was desperate to get home.
That is so sad. They think they are getting away with something, but they won't be when they stand before God on judgement day. They will wish they hadn't!
true
I hate when seniors and women be out here alone. This needs to stop!
That's terrible. I this lady is blessed with everything she lost and more.
Dickerson manor would not provide video??? Why? Is she a relative? That's a lousy company! There is no reason not too!
Why would the apartment complex not give video to help catch this person how heartless and disgusting of them smh
The purse is long gone ,So she can forget about getting it back.
The Christmas season is a smorgasbord of games!

People hearts are so cold. This person will reap what she did to this elderly woman.👊👊👊
That’s so heartbreaking 💔
Exactly right. Never leave your parents or grandparents by themselves.. or errands. Please. ..
this Angers Me, Leave Old People ALONE!!
That is just evil. Taking advantage of a elderly person.
Who does that? A devil in a human suit.
Never give out rides.
Thank you for the warning ⚠️
If she's sharp enough to drive, shop, and live alone at that age, please don't use her age as an excuse for her stupid decision to take a stranger into her car.
This is so heartbreaking stuff like this really pisses me off taking advantage of a poor sweet elderly woman the woman who stole from her needs to be in jail right now
Unfortunately, the time she grew up in no longer exists. Its a dangerous world out there. These people prey on the elderly !
Grateful she wasn't hurt. This makes me sick and hurts my heart.
Leave our elderly ALONE!!!!
That is so sad. Her heart was in the right place, that pathetic robber? Not at all. How could you do that to an elderly woman?
How terrifying! Dont ever give a stranger a ride. Should have driven to the nearest the police station.
That's very scary wow!!
Terrible. We have to take care of our elderly just like we have to remind our younger people. Do not talk to strangers. On the phone or in person. This is truly sad and I'm just thankful she didn't hurt her.
Absolutely ridiculous.
This is why we don’t help people anymore I hope the lady gets caught anyone who scams go to jail
absolutely terrible 🤦🏽♀️
A special place in hell for these scammers.
The camera footage needs to be given to the police regardless if she let the woman in or not. Poor thang.
I was always taught to respect my elders. How awful to do this to her (to anyone) when she was kind and helpful to a stranger. SMH
18 or 80! DO NOT PICK UP A HITCH HIKER!!!!
Elderly ppl are like babies you treat them with care
Show the police and media the video footage of the female that scammed this kind God fearing woman!!!! Do the right thing apartment complex people!!!!!!!
I hope they find the lady and file charges against her!
Never give strangers a ride and never allow strangers in your home. At her age she should know better. I have myself dealt with people like this scammers con men at 43 I never fell for any of it.
This is why people that have seniors in their families need to step up and help them stop letting the seniors in their families go unattended even if you think they can manage💯‼️
Some people really believe they can commit crimes , with absolutely no consequences. The Most High God will hold them accountable on the great day of judgement.
Older citizens please do not talk to strangers especially during this time of year.
How horrible!
Here's part of the problem: Us old people, were raised in a time 60 to 80 years ago when there was an entirely different morality. We pretty much knew most of the people around us, and the ones we didn't know, were just like us, with rare exception. Even though we want to believe that "people are basically good", unfortunately they are not. As Judge Judy says: "It is so time to die"!
There have been thieves, robbers, and murderers around since the beginning of time. We just see it more now because of social media and cameras. If everything was so nice and cozy back then, why did parents teach their kids not to talk to strangers?
So sad OMG
