[US] I know my MIL is being scammed, but I can’t convince (old.reddit.com)

A man claiming to be in the military, stationed in Poland, sent money and gold bars, now the package is held up in customs, and they’re asking me to pay 4K in Bitcoin to have it released for tax & certificates. Is this a scam?

She says, “he’s real because she’s face timed him, and he’s sent her pizza from papa johns for lunch”

We’ve told her that the bitcoin is the major red flag, as well as the rest, but absolutely can’t convince her.

Any tips here?
