For those that were curious and didn't want to read this long article. This is a very common scam. "Family Emergency Scams". https://consumer.ftc.gov/articles/scammers-use-fake-emergenc...

The woman went to the bank and withdrew $50k in cash. The article makes no mention of the bank warning or asking any questions. Banks and Tellers absolutely need to be taught to warn people of these scams. It has saved many people in the past by just simply raising awareness.
