The woman said her family got tricked out of money, all while trying to find food for her nephew.
The national shortage of baby formula is pushing parents to search the internet for resources. One woman warns parents should be careful to avoid potential scams.
"What person takes advantage of a mother's vulnerability like that. At a time like this," said Snyder in a zoom interview.Like many others, she searched Facebook looking for Enfamil Gentalese Baby Formula, when she got a message from an unknown account saying they could help. "I called my sister-in-law and was like this is great this is what I found. She is not going to charge us for the cans just shipping. She is going to give them to you if you just pay for shipping," Snyder told her sister-in-law.
"She called and was like 'hey! I think this girl blocked me'. So, I get on my messenger, and I was just like 'oh my gosh you just saw the grey icon and not her profile. She was nowhere to be found," said Snyder."She has left so many stores crying. Stood in the Walmart line crying because she doesn't know how she is going to feed her baby," said Snyder.
