An eighty year old friend of mine believes that she's friends with "Reba McEntire", and trusted the person claiming to be Reba to set up a bank account for her, which has received her SS checks for the last year.

Needless to say, the money's gone.

I convinced her to change to paper checks for the time being so we could get her back on her feet (she's now homeless), but I'm terrified that "Reba" will convince her to start putting money back into the stolen account.

She refuses to go to the police.

How can I convince her to get her away from this POS that's literally made her homeless? Fake letter from the "real Reba"? Something else?

No amount of reason will convince her she's not actually texting Reba McEntire. I've been trying for a year.

Edit: I've reached out to APS via email and will start calling as I can. Thanks for the advice and the SNL skit. Made me laugh WAY too hard.
