3 months ago, I noticed she was supposedly talking to a very prominent Korean actor on Messenger. I reported the profile on my own account without her knowing.While I did this, I dropped hints for her that she is probably in danger of talking to celebrity impersonators on FB, and within the week, she seemed to finally catch on. She stopped talking to him and even reported him to the real actor's agency, I was relieved.

This was not the end. It seems like almost immediately she fell for another romance scam, this time for a "BTS member" who moved her on to Telegram. I told her previously that Telegram was a scam hellscape, and she initially deleted it. A few days pass and I see she reinstalled it and is now talking to the same BTS scammer AND another one on Messenger.

I know she's been single for a long while but I never thought she'd fall for such wild delusions. How she didn't get the hint after reporting the first "Korean celebrity" is beyond me. Well, now I don't know what to do. She is kind of a stubborn person and I feel like if I outright acknowledge the issue, she will go deeper and try to hide even more. I'd try to call upon my siblings for some kinda intervention but they don't live nearby and don't really have the tact for this situation imo.

Throughout this whole thing she's always shielded her phone from my eyes whenever she is texting these people, I think she knows what I'll say, and I'm sure she knows the reality of these accounts she talks to. Is she just doing this for fun? She texts immense paragraphs daily to these scammers, gives them so much of her time, and seems genuinely in a good mood when she does. Thankfully I'm sure she hasn't given any money to them yet, she doesn't really have any to give.

I just don't know what to do, I never thought my mom would fall for these romance scams, let alone ones involving huge celebrities. Do I tell my siblings, who might make the situation worse, or do I go it alone?
