theme
Several women, who discovered they had been the victim of sophisticated scammers, speak about the emotional and physical toll that their financial problems had caused them. They suffered stress, anxiety and other medical issues. In brief dramatic reconstructions, we see a woman collapse, and another collide with a truck; however, visual detail of the latter incident is limited.
