My son was stunned. “Mom, what are you doing?”
I held back tears. “That girl isn’t who she says she is. Two years ago, she scammed my sister out of her savings—nearly $30,000. Same face. Same name. She vanished before the trial.”
My husband called the police while Cindy banged on the basement door, pleading. When the officers arrived and ran her name, their expressions turned serious. She had multiple warrants for fraud across three states.
My son was devastated. “I didn’t know,” he whispered.
I hugged him. “I know. That’s why we have instincts—and family.”
The lesson? Sometimes, love can blind us—but truth protects us. Always trust your gut. I nearly welcomed a criminal into my family, but I listened to my instincts, and it saved us all.
