My 30-something unemployed, insomniac son had been prescribed benzodiazepenes for anxiety and insomnia when he was employed and had insurance. This condition is familial. As his father, I shared my benzodiazepene prescription with him because he had none. His girlfriend stole them, and I reported the theft to local authorities.

Is this a scam, or are these people for real?
