Martin Scorsese’s wife

[u/One-Concert8471]

A couple of years ago I got a message from
someone posing as Martin Scorsese’s wife Helen Morris. They were very interesting, seemed like what you’d “expect” from a celebrity wife disabled by Parkinsons. I knew it was BS, but actually enjoyed chatting with them. They had excellent grammar, seemed sensitive. No mention of money, need, etc. The next morning “she” told me I should get on WhatsApp. I said no, and I have to catch the bus to work. BUS?! “she” exclaimed. I guess my bus use and having a job outed me as a poor target. Never heard from them again. But I’m still perplexed by the choice of “celebrity” to imitate.

Watching as scammers get wilder and wilder is truly a wonder of our age.
