"I felt like a fool, I've been swindled out of over 60,000 euros. Don't trust anyone. Except your mother".

A journalist named Alex Delgado lost over $60,000 to a scam after responding to a suspicious message that claimed her investment account was at risk. The message instructed her to call a number to resolve the issue, which she did while preparing for a trip. She was told by someone claiming to be from a fraud department that her funds needed to be transferred to a new account. She complied, only to later discover that all her money had been moved to a mysterious account. Delgado expressed feelings of vulnerability and regret, warning others not to trust anyone except their mothers.

Bias read (Center): The article presents a personal account of a financial scam without overtly endorsing or criticizing any political ideology. While the incident involves a broader societal issue of fraud, the framing remains neutral, focusing on individual experience rather than partisan commentary.
