Now day’s, people will do anything to scam someone! And sometimes they will take advantage of those who are not quite knowledgeable. They’ll even play with their emotions to get them to cave in to their demands. That’s what happened to this 73-year-old mother.
Lori Goodpaster said her mother started to talk to someone online. Her mother is lonely so the scammer used that to their advantage. Her mother thought that she was dating former Journey singer, Steve Perry!
The scammer told the woman that he needed financial help because all of his assets were frozen. They told her it had to do with a court case in California.
Goodpaster learned that her mother was a victim of a romance scam! Her mother ended up sending money to the person. Later they found a post on the official Steve Perry Facebook page warning people of scammers pretending to be him and asking for help. Steve Perry assured all his fans that he is financially ok and his assets are not frozen!
As for Goodpasters mother, they’re unfortunately at a loss for what she sent. But police were called and offered to help her mother and teacher more on these romance scams which they said has a total of $547 Million in total that has been scammed from people.

The Best Money Saving Hack EVER -- Shhhh!
Re-using Coffee Grounds (not all money-saving hacks are good ideas...)
Noooo! Why on earth?? Coffee grounds should not be reused. Isn’t the whole point of drinking coffee to get some of that much-needed caffeine? By running water through the grounds twice it dilutes it way too much. BUT Mom and Dad totally just saved 75 cents, so that’s a win in their book!
Unplugging all appliances nightly, or when you leave the house
Unplugging every appliance in the entire house every single night, or when you leave the house, has to take a good 10-15 minutes. And how much money could it possibly save to do this every single night? Sometimes, parents take the savings game to a whole new level.
Taking extra napkins from the restaurant - and leaving them in the car, etc
Kind of a genius way to save a buck, and never having to buy more napkins. Those glove compartment napkins can be acquired from anywhere with napkins! Don’t forget to also steal some disposable cutlery, too. You know – for emergencies.
Late Holidays to take advantage of clearance sales
“Kids, the Easter Bunny must have gotten lost!” Smooth Mom and Dad. .Though, after-holiday clearance sales can definitely be a great way to stock up on essentials for next year- just need to be able to plan ahead, and have somewhere to store your new decorations, and hide your gifts.
Making your two-ply toilet paper into one-ply
This just sounds like a ton of work. If someone has this kind of time to separate, and then reroll an entire thing of toilet paper then more power to them! Just buy the good one-ply. Better for your toilet in the long run!
