(audience cheering)
- Ashley says her mom, Debbie, destroyed their family
when she went online looking for love
just a few months after her husband died.
- [Audience] Ooh.
- And it gets worse.
Ashley says her mom's new man was a fraud,
who scammed her for over $200,000.
- [Audience] Oh!
- Mkay, take a look.
- My mom has completely devastated our family.
- A little over a year ago,
my husband of 40 years passed away.
- Six months later my mom entered into
an online dating relationship and gave away over $200,000.
I can't even put into words how angry I am.
- I am a grown adult,
and I cannot have my daughters mother me.
- I feel like I am the parent, and she is the daughter.
- Six months before my husband died,
he was diagnosed with melanoma.
- It absolutely broke my heart when my dad died.
- It was awful.
After my husband passed, I got really lonely.
One evening, out of the blue,
I got this messenger request from a gentleman.
I looked up his profile.
He was a widower.
- He was originally from Italy.
- Was very nice looking.
- Constructional engineer, he was a multimillionaire.
- And he was in his 60s.
- He had one more job to do before he retired
and they could live happily ever after.
And it happened to be in Malaysia.
- It really felt great to connect with somebody.
I really fell deeply for him.
- She told me that he had trusted her
with his banking account information.
- And he sent me a picture of his account.
Balances, account number, his name was actually on there.
And it looked pretty darn legit to me.
- He needed her to transfer $350,000 between his accounts.
- So, I did it.
- [Ashley Voiceover] Mom are you kidding me?
I told my mom it was a scam.
- A week or two later, he begins to tell me
that he's been having these chest pains
and that he had had a mild heart attack.
Again he asked me for another $20,000.
After six months, I ended up giving him almost $250,000.
- The money that she sent to Malaysia
was life insurance money from my dad's death.
I believe, were he here, he would have wanted
to start college funds for the grandkids.
- My two daughters are driving me insane.
It's not about me anymore, it's about money.
- How do I get my mom to realize
the damage she's caused our family?
- How do I find out if this man
that I fell so deeply for is really real?
And get my relationship back with my daughters
to the way it was?
