A woman in our community manufactured a fake illness . The community had fundraisers to help offset the cost of treatments that weren't covered by insurance. She was from a very well known local family. She had even fooled her family into believing she was being treated for cancer several years ago, and that she was having a recurrence.The community fundraiser was a big success. She went on a few nice trips. She got in trouble with the law when a co-worker became suspicious. Turns out there never was any illness. I am out $250 for donating products to a raffle. I probably will keep my money and time from now on. It is sad to think people are such liars and that good people can be taken in like this.
