My mom Facebook account got hacked last month. I can't convince her this guy isn't interested in her and isn't who he says he is. I reported him but Facebook did very little.

Facebook investigates and promptly gets rid of romance scammers. It's easy to prove, just TinEye their images. I do it all the time. Send same to Facebook. I also post the information about the scammer ("here's the Tineye, showing the images on the scammer alerts, here's who he's posing as, etc.") on my Facebook pages. May not save anyone. Might save someone.
I mentioned a book here--was it KK's mom? No, someone else's, right on this thread--last year. "Who's The Real Man Behind The Screen?" by...damn, can't pull the name from my brain-pan. Diana something. Available on Amazon and NookPress, at least. It's an eye-opener. Get it for her, also available in print.
