Scammer draining my elderly parent. I just recently reported him to FTC as he is impersonating gov official. My mother is USA based. It’s been going on for 2 years. I thought gift cards here and there but now that she is in an assisted living I realize she’s willing to risk her placement by giving him all her bank acct info/ID etc. This guy needs a viral link sent from her email (which I have access to or something) Thanks!

Maybe some other agency than FTC?
And if you do report him, make sure to use your marketing skills and write a report that will get their attention; things that'll make their job easier, large scope, etc.

You can’t report to the local police (specially if they have a cyber crime department)? I’d do that as well. Perhaps with that, educate your parent as well about these. We are responsible for the education as we are the generation that handles tech a little more everyday.
I know the long way of going about it. File with court to manage her financial affairs, etc. But this guy is a clown, uses same email and fake government name everywhere. I will def forward his nonsense to FBI and anyone else that will listen. She will have to be frightened to realize its not a joke.
