My mom doesn't have much money to take. Blessing and a curse, I guess.

I can't believe I remembered it: It's "Who is the Real Man Behind The Screen," by Diana Garren. Here's the link:
http://www.amazon.com/Who-Real-Man-B...dp/099076110X/ (Good thing she has a Kindle--the print version is
very expensive, but
the book was over 800 pages, IIRC). (n.b.: we did NOT do the print version).
The author worked with several Feebies putting this book together, and she relates the story of how SHE was scammed out of money, herself. She then realized she'd been scammed, and, somehow, befriended the scammer, who gave her all sorts of info. I'm the one who showed her how to use Tineye, to find the pics of the guys (all male models, of course, from their portfolios and headshots).
I hope it helps, I really do. I know that, as I said, I get 2-3 scammers a week on FB. I lead them on--luring them into saying just ENOUGH BS that I can report them to FB for being scammers, just to try to help other women...at least, for THAT identity. Of course, almost none of these bozos know that I served, so they don't know that I'll know that 99% of what they're claiming is utter BS (like, my personal fave, SEALS in Syria. Uh...riiiiiiiiighhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhht.)
It's not bad enough that there are all sorts of honor thieves on FB already, who AREN'T trying to scam people out of money (there are something like, 10,000 women on Facebook who claim to be "forensic anthropologists" when there are TEN registered women doing that in the US, and several hundred thousands "Ranger Snipers," ditto on the absurdity of the numbers--they all use crap that they heard on "Bones," god help us all)...but this crap is
just nauseating.
Good luck.
