They use multiple websites and send them to multiple victims, for me, they sent me : flxbank.com , which seemed very suspicious for me.. be aware of it!
Recover your money, file a report on t .me /refund_my_coins if you have been fleeced by any scam.
I think most recovery companies will take your money again. I personally think they are the same set of people that run all of them, seems like an unending cycle and its too sad. The most crazy thing about the whole internet thing is how you can clone a website to make it look like the real one, I discovered so many people fell into this kind of scams. The only recovery company I know that works is assetsrepo dot com, I have been to their physical address to meet them before and the good thing about them is that they will let you know if they can handle your case or not. So they will not just take your money when they already know they wont help you out. I think they might help out in this kind of case though.
A thought on this as we've had a similar problem with my dad. Keep an eagle eye on all your dad's accounts every day by checking on the computer. Watch for debits that don't make sense either by the amount of money (it's not always large) and/or the recipient. If you catch it early enough the bank or financial institution may reimburse you. Our bank loses its mind when we have a $400 charge out of the blue and texts us but my father's bank won't do that. It might be fruitless, but check around for banks that will alert you if an usual amount of money is being removed. Another person mentioned getting a new phone system that blocks calls that aren't programmed in. I bought one and then decided not to use it because I don't know the numbers of all my dad's contacts. A lesser solution is to get a landline system like the one we got from AT&T. The caller has to press a button to get through. As a result, robocalls have almost been eliminated. But it's the live calls that cause problems. They often want the computer password or some sort of computer number or the number to your parents' financial accounts. If your parent no longer uses the computer, put up a sticky with phony information. If he does, my only pathetic thought is to talk to an IT guy to see if there isn't a way to block scammer's access. Honestly, I don't know. As for my dad, while he has the most godawful short-term memory he is sharp and after losing some money he smartened up and now tortures the phone scammers unmercifully. I hate to be a conspiracy theorist but I believe that the phone companies could stop this but for their own reasons they don't.
Does your mother have any type of diagnosis? Your siblings need to step up to the plate and read their POAs and figure out what they can and cannot do...and what they are OBLIGATED to do, regardless of Mom's feelings. YOU can do nothing.
I assume that the scammers are contacting her at home either in person or over the telephone. If over the telephone, get her a cell phone that will “silence” all incoming telephone calls that are NOT in her contact list. All these calls will be transferred to voice mail. If it is in person, get a Beware of Dog sign and post it at the front and back doors. After these things are in place, sit down with Mom and talk to her gently about her problem.
If they are PoA then they would hopefully have possession of the actual document, which would outline what their authorities are. Their powers are active if your mother has a medical diagnosis of cognitive impairment. Your siblings should have taken this document to her bank so that the bank gives them the authority to manage her accounts.
An uncooperative victim is no help to detectives. Your account is too thin on details and if you are not her PoA and are not the victim or involved in any way, you have no power. Your siblings hopefully know what they're doing and have actual authority. Financial scamming of the elderly is a very common crime and very hard to prosecute. Your siblings need to find and read the PoA documents to know where they stand. Your mother needs a diagnosis by a doctor. If no one has the legal authority to limit her access to her funds, then there's nothing to be done about it.

Do you know where all her money is?
Are the bank accounts in her name only? If there is another person on the account, have the other person remove the money.
Can you talk to a local branch of the bank to see what they suggest?
How about contacting your state's Office on Aging and get a counselor to help you?
I'm sorry for you. Good luck to you.
