"I said 'it's a scam' and she should use local if she was going to get her computer fixed.
"She said 'no they will reimburse me' and I told her they wouldn't."
The woman, who had various documentation all pointing overseas, insisted on going to Mahara Place so Florence decided to stop by an administration office in the nearby Woodlands area of the retirement village and explained the situation to a staff member.
"As soon as she [the resident] saw the office lady she said 'have I been scammed'?"
The woman soon realised she could have been the victim of a scam.
"She was a bit overwhelmed that someone could do that," said Florence, who has been driving a taxi for about six years.
Florence took the elderly woman home.
"She was thankful because she realised what was going on."
Florence said the Post Shop would likely have alerted the woman to the scam but it was good to stop it early on.
She was simply happy to help someone.
"I enjoy my job and don't like seeing people get conned."
