    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.

    Becca- My friend's ex husband claimed to have brain cancer at the same time my own father had colon cancer. She found out he lied to her to manipulate her into not leaving him. I was so angry I told her he deserved cancer because that is the only way he might learn. I doubt it though, people stoop pretty low when they think it benefits themselves.

    Oh Becca and Aggie those are awful stories!!!

    So the perp called back yesterday- multiple times!! At first my manager told him that he sent the item to the billing address here in AZ, expecting the guy to say "NO. it was suppose to go to LA". But he didnt. He called back for a tracking number. So my manager goes "you know I would have sent the bike if you were the real Hon Fung. But your not. I talked to the real Mr. Fung. But I have a question for you... How do you get away with it?? I mean you have called us multiple times, and you gave us an address. Both things have been turned over to the fraud dept. and police. So how do you get away with it???'. You would think that the guy would have hung up by now, but he DIDNT!! He played dumb. It was AMAZING!!!!

    Gotta love the spambaiter/419 page, what about the handwritten copy of Harry Potter the guy obtained, or a hand carved Wallace and Gromit sculpture. Hilarious.
    It's a little secret you didn't know about us women. We're all closet Visigoths.
