Hi,

My mother was just asked through her owners email to send the rent this month to her through western union since she was out of country and couldn't access her bank right away there. Since they usually  correspond through email and was sending it to her name not somebody else and since she does actually travel, she thought nothing of it..until they asked her to then send a couple months in advance, to make a long story short it was a scam and her email was hacked and it wasn't actually her. But my sent the rent for this month already and the owner wants her to pay all the rent again to her. I said if anything it should be half since it was really neithers fault and both are losing at this point. Actually I feel she shouldn't have to pay at all because she doesn't have the money and it wasnt her fault it seemed like it was her, it was her stuff that got havked and they did their research on her. So what should be done from here?
