person A: My mom got scammed out of hundreds of dollars.
person B: Dude! That sucks! I am so sorry about that. What happened?
person A: It was some internet phishing thing.  She had zero recourse.  I guess it's actually a little lucky she didn't lose more.
person B: Ugh! That really irritates me. I am so sorry that happened. Too bad they couldn't catch those creeps.
