This isn't about your Mom getting scammed. It's about your Mom caring enough for your Dad to spend that money to make him happy. It's about your folks giving it to you because they love you. Appreciate their feelings toward each other and toward you.
It's a gift to you - free. Why get upset about it's value?
Forget the scumbag who took advantage of her. You can't do anything about it. But don't hurt her feelings by telling her about it. You never told her about some of your mistakes, so don't tell her about her's.
What you can do is accept and appreciate their love for each other and for you. Say "thanks" and hug them.
God will take care of the scumbag. Just don't let Him be disappointed with you.
