This story is not about a stupid person getting tricked.
It's about a brilliant, strong, 73-year-old woman who spent 50 years saving lives in emergency rooms, and made the human mistake of wanting to be loved again after losing her husband of 45 years.
If you have someone in your life who lives alone, call them today. Not tomorrow. Today.

You receive a message from a stranger. They’re charming, they share your interests, and you eventually hop on a video call. You see their face moving, you hear their voice, and they react to your jokes in real-time.
