Young woman claims purse is in my apt

I (M27, in case that’s relevant) live in a fourth floor walkup on a fairly busy avenue in NYC. On Friday morning, I heard a knock at my front door (I had never buzzed anyone up), but I ignored it since I wasn’t expecting anyone. The knocking continued, and since I don’t have a peephole or chain lock, I kept the door closed and asked who it was. I heard a young woman — guessing somewhere in her 20s — reply, telling me that she was tracking her purse and she “knows it’s in my apartment.” My roommate and I hadn’t had any parties or even friends over. In short, there was no chance some random girl had actually left her purse in my apartment. However, she kept insisting that I had her purse because she could track it, and that, if I didn’t let her in, she’d have to file a police report. I told her to go ahead; it definitely wasn’t in my apartment. Eventually she went away.

The whole experience made no sense for obvious reasons. 1) How could she have tracked her purse to my apartment specifically? Let’s say she did have some tracking device — wouldn’t it just show the building, not the unit? 2) If I were a twenty-something woman and I thought some man stole my purse, why would I go to his apartment alone and try to get it back? Doesn’t seem like the safest option if you’re dealing with some thief… 3) If she thought I really did steal her purse, did she think I’d just give it back if she asked? The whole thing was so illogical.

Clearly something very strange was going on, but I can’t for the life of me figure out how a scam like this would work. Did she want to “search” my apartment and steal something? Or bribe me for money in exchange for not filing a police report (for a crime we both know I didn’t commit)? Was she just high out of her mind and it wasn’t a scam at all? If anyone has ideas or has experienced/heard of something like this, let me know.

80yo Mom Scammed Out of $200k+

My mom got suckered by a guy claiming to be Willie Nelson (romance scam) to take a 2nd mortgage out of her house and now she is out 200k on that and has maxed out 3 credit cards. The guy would send deposits to get account and ask her to then send money somewhere else (mail large sums of cash, send crypto, but apple gift cards etc.) which she would do, then the deposits this person made into the account would fail, and she would be stuck owing the money. This happened several times and she should have known better, but she didn't. Now her credit is wrecked and keeping her home in in question as she can't afford to make the payment on her original 1st mortgage and now this 200k 2nd. Does anyone know of a legal path to unwind all of the fraudulent charges? So far neither the bank or CC companies are willing to help her.
