An elderly retired priest was scammed out of his life savings of more than $60,000.
Retired Riverside priest Father Robert Bazin was robbed of his life savings of more than $60,000 in a PayPal scam.Father Robert Banzin begins working on his weekly homily the day after he delivers his last one. The 85-year-old is a retired priest, but he continues to celebrate mass on some weekends to keep his mind sharp. That's why he can't believe he fell for a scam that robbed him of his life savings.
He said he assumed PayPal was alerting him that his bank account was being hacked. Because the email did not have a phone number, he googled PayPal to call them to clear things up/. For the next several weeks, Banzin said the so-called investigators gained his trust, convincing him to withdraw money from his account, thinking they were helping him avoid hackers when they were in fact the hackers. In the end, Banzin lost $61,000.
