My (step) daughter's father treated her like a redheaded stepchild. While treating his stepchildren like royalty. If they wanted it they got it. When Jenny needed her tonsils removed she asked him for help with the bill. "I pay for your insurance that's more than enough" is what he told her. She was working part time and going to college. Meanwhile one stepdaughter was in high school driving a new car that was a sweet 16 gift. That was one of many hurtful things he said/did to her. She disowned him later in life. In conversation she refers to him as asshole or Scott. I get father's day cards, hugs and love from her. I never tried to take his place when she was growing up. I treated her and loved like my own. It is your brothers loss. She is better off without him. Some people do not appreciate what they have.

I talked to her after he did it, and told her she was better off without him. A daughter loves and needs her father no matter what. My stepfather is not enough father for her, unfortunately.

This is true. No matter how much love and support I give her I am not her father. I can not completely fill in that hole in her heart. This may be wrong but I hope her father feels 1000x the pain he has caused her. Unfortunately narcissist don't feel that kind of pain.
 
Sigh. I hate reading this. As an IT person I've had this conversation a dozen times with my dad. That didn't stop him from falling prey to one of the phony Microsoft Support scams. It was only $250 - but still. He said he didn't want to "bother" me by calling during the day while I'm at work etc. You hate to have to fuss at your parents - but dang.

The bank was Wells Fargo in Enteprise Alabama

Oh snap . . . . . Wells Fargo is in enough trouble already. I'll bet a dozen donuts if pressed hard enough, they could/would get the cash back. They don't need any additional bad publicity. I'll bet if you/she threatened to go to Clark Howard (I hate that guy, but he can be a useful tool) with a story of how Wells Fargo was complicit with an elderly lady being scammed out of $150K, you would get some attention.

Clark's minions (team of experts) could do all the negotiating, and then he gets to brag about what a "good job he is doing" on-air.

Worth a shot . . . . .

I'm not sure how the bank was "complicit" in the scam. OP says she consulted with her husband, so is he complicit too? It's her money. At some point people have to be responsible for their own conduct.

If she had gone to Cherokee and lost it all at the casino, or donated it to Joel Osteen or Benny Hinn, she would have the same chance of getting her money back.

I'm not a fan of the big banks, that's why I use a community bank. And the scammers should be hunted down like wild dogs.

But it's still her money,
