| Oct 14, 2020 at 13:54 | comment | added | Steve-O | It's an interesting point, but if she were knowingly part of the scam then she wouldn't be buying the Steam cards herself (she'd be getting others to buy them for her and tell her the codes so she can send them on,) therefore OP wouldn't have found scratched off Steam cards around the house. More likely, the forgery thing is the next stage in the scam, dealing with larger sums of money. OP's mom may think she's part of something shady that will pay off for her, but really she's part of something shady that will backfire on her. | |
