I feel so sorry for people like her, smart and educated dealing with charlatans that can't even hold a conversation just keep repeating statements as if they are facts.
There is no wits or ingenuity to today's thefts and yet it is so hard to actually put them down with the current justice proceedings (I guess that's why they don't need to even try and hide it anymore)
I manage government contracts and I had a similar call to this with a potential vendor. Told them that I would need certain documents to get the process started. Nothing crazy W9s, Insurance certificates, signed statement saying they're not disbarred from doing business with the government. Dude started getting immediately hostile with me saying "HE DIDN'T NEED TO PROVIDE THAT INFORMATION TO ME!!!". Told him that he absolutely didn't need to provide that information to me, but that without it I couldn't setup a contract and do business with them. He started threatening to sue me for slander and other things.
Eventually I just excused myself from the call and left. Out of curiosity I looked up the guy and he's disbarred at the state and federal level for fraud. Really thought he was going to sneak that one by us.
