Thanks to Nancy for her persistence in bringing this story to light. It makes a difference! I’m a cancer survivor and relied on friends and family to be there for me. So now I’m curious about what the husband knew. Guess I’ll have to listen to the podcast.
Praying you stay Cancer Free!!
He had to have known. He never took her to chemo?
@@wendyfilice7101he definitely knew…there’s evidence of it.
@@MsTinkerbelle87 you are right. I just listened to the last episode where you told the court he went to her cancer treatments with her.
@@MsTinkerbelle87 do you know why he wasn’t also charged and arrested?
I can’t believe the husband got away with this 😡 he was just as involved as her!!!
Yeah unfortunately lying is not illegal, as messed up as it is. It was never his personal bank accounts or online activity to constitute the wire fraud :/ I also believe her mother had to have known at some point too
@@Cashhhhew He should at least be jailed as an accessory/accomplice
I hope it all comes out in this podcast . She was my sons principal at his christian school. She had manipulated all of us and these little kids were praying everyday before class for her recovery for this fake cancer that kept coming back.
wow! I just listened to it, they only have two episodes out. So far it hasn't come out.
@@l.l.b.7116 I was just wondering the same. I don't understand how she got that position. It takes SO much in my state to get to the top..
I don't believe you.
Well, technically your prayers were answered she was cured of fake cancer😂!
@@HelloHello-zf2svshe lied about having a masters degree (it later came out that she dropped out) and that she was enrolled in a PhD program in Stanford and I guess they just took her word for it… Also in private schools they don’t really require the same credentials.
As a survivor of Hodgkins lymphoma, this makes me sick and angry. What an insult to those battling cancer and their caregivers. I feel awful for all those kind and generous people who gave her in so many ways. I'm glad she's going to jail but it should be longer.
bro fr. cause i suffered alot from it . makes me mad. its not a joke .it makes u sick anf im still dealing with it :/
She just robbed the lives of all the cancer victims who could have at least lived longer if they received the donations.
God bless your heart 🙏🏽
just imagine.....she actually gets cancer as a punishment. cancer is such a horrible thing! shame on you scamanda!
And then no one believes her
complete psycho. how she can manipulate all those people is beyond me. To me the worst part was staking the biological daughter from the mom and making the mom look crazy when she was actually the crazy one.
That had to be exhausting pulling that off for 7 years. What a psycho.
When I heard this podcast being promoted on another podcast, I kept thinking they were saying “Scumanda” so that’s the title I searched for without luck. After eventually finding the correctly titled podcast and listening to the first 3 episodes, I actually think ‘Scumanda’ is more appropriate. 😒
There is a special place in hell for this horrid scammer. 5 years in the slammer is not enough. The only reason she was nice to people was so that she could continue to scam & was particularly nice to actual cancer patients & their families so that she could mimic the behaviors etc.
THIS PISSES ME OFF!!!!!
My dear sister and best friend passed a month ago from non-Hogkins, she fought so hard and left my beautiful nephews behind. It breaks my heart that anyone could use this misery as a money making scheme. Sadly, Amanda has proven herself to be a truly sick person but her illness is mental.
I'm so sorry for your heartbreaking loss 😞
@@jessicajamesspeaks thank you so much.
This woman is pure evil! I cannot believe she took her husband's daughter away from the biological mother. She is a pure bully for all the things she said about her online, and the horrible way she treated the teachers at her school.
And for a whole year too 😢
All I can say is, don't let her sweet smile fool you! She is a prime example of a wolf in sheep's clothing!
She's despicable!
This gives me secondhand embarrassment. I hope her & the others who’ve done this shit, are blasted on every platform. If scammers are gonna scam, it’s only fair to keep their name & photo out there for everyone to see😊
Seeing something so sickening and callous such as this makes me literally sick to my stomach, knowing that I lost my grandmother to terminal lung cancer during my senior year of high school and losing my godfather to prostate cancer. If you want money, get a job. That's simple. But don't use something so serious and sensitive like cancer to take advantage of the generosity of strangers 💔
This disgusts me to no end. My neighbor is battling breast cancer and could use the resources this woman got. I will never understand sociopathic people.
Lol when the anchor said she even sued someone for correctly accusing her of lying and then Nancy was like “that was me” hahahahaha the look on the anchor’s face
Just finished season 1 and I am literally sick to my stomach. Not only did she manipulate and exploit people’s kindness, generosity, and faith for her own narcissistic greed - but in doing so - she NEGATED every person’s lived experience who is actually fighting cancer, who has actually gone through something life-changing. How many other cancer fighters have gotten a whole community of support, 100+k, and act of kindness after act of kindness?? Every single REAL survivor and fighter deserves the love and support and she stole.
Being someone who tried to put a positive spin on my own life-changing disability (from covid not cancer) who she is and what she did contaminates anyone else’s effort to turn something horrific into a positive. I am repulsed and disturbed by her. Hopefully this podcast will remind us all to keep our eyes wide open, and to do so with humility. Don’t drink the coolaid. It sounds like in this community a lot of people did.
Are you really comparing Covid to cancer? I had it twice. The flu was worse.
@@nathanielgarden2543no she’s not. Apparently reading comprehension isn’t your strong suit
Think about how this will affect those who do have cancer. So shameful.
This podcast is EXCELLENT. Amanda was a MASTER manipulator.
Glad she was charged. As a cancer survivor I am disgusted by her behaviour.
5 years, THAT'S IT?????? THAT'S NOTHING? Thats basically letting other people know that they can do it too. you'll only get a few years in prison. WOW!!!!!!!
I feel like anyone who has suffered from cancer or lost someone to cancer should all go protest for her to be in longer. 5 years just isn’t enough and she’ll most likely not even serve the whole 5 years.
The max she could have gotten was 20 years but the judge said most get 18 months but she wanted to give more & settled on 5 years or 60 months
Wow! This is disgusting 🤢
Fart, pee, barf - Those are disgusting. This, is just evil.
@@FilthFartHoleit’s still disgusting….
5 years in prison? That's almost as disgusting as her crime.
Wanted to hear more from Nancy Moscatiello.
Both Nancy and Charlie recorded an hour and twenty-two minute podcast on True Crime Daily's channel. YT no longer allows us to share links in comments, but the title is "Influencer who blogged her fake cancer story busted after getting over $100k in donations".
Thank you for this info
2:56 I have been listening to this Podcast and it is beautifully done by Charli. Thank you too to Nancy on her hard work as an investigating journalist. Bravo!
My god this is some sort of trend where people scamming others for cancer fraud.. thus probably my 7th video about this.... Very alarming
Just listened to the podcast. Riveting. The manipulation and damage Amanda did to her family and her friends is staggering. Friends bent over backwards for her. Amanda is a narcissist.
In my country you are not reliant on funds, there’s something called healthcare… I know that’s not the main point here in this story, but still important to add. Fraudsters wouldn’t even have a chance.
It’s funny, we call it “healthcare” too in the US and when you really think about it that label is not always appropriate. I’ve heard of so many cases of people being booted out of the hospital because insurance ran out, children not getting needed meds and treatments because their family can’t afford it. A lot of wonderful drs and nurses and staff but our “healthcare” isn’t very caring.
This is such a wild story! It’s so sick and evil that she would lie and defraud so many great people.
Great Job Nancy!
I listened to this podcast. It made me furious. What bad karma she has created for herself.
Wait how was she able to sue the person that knew she was lying wouldn't she have to show some proof that she had cancer
Idk about that court case but she falsified many documents in other court cases she was dealing with
@@karliann1 Oh okay, thanks
Anyone can sue anyone, doesn’t mean that she won or that her case had any merit.
She wasn’t able to provide any proof that’s why she lost that court case 😂
@@jessicafeeney3996that's good that she lost her court case! Now it's about getting justice for all of those donors and every present cancer patient, survivor, and those who lost their battle to cancer.
Did her husband get in any trouble? How would he not know? She started doing this in college.
Damn she acted like this was her full time job. So many years she strung so many people along. I bet she believes all this in her sick head..
Hard to believe these evil people exist !!
This podcast is excellent quality and I’m hooked only on the second episode and I’m so curious to know if her husband knew or was deceived also.& 5 years is nothing and I bet she gets out in 3 for good behavior 😑
Does anyone know if her husband was in on this, as well. I can’t find any information re: him.
He hasn’t been charged, but his daughter said she felt like he knew about all along and he seemed to be empty inside and just going along with it. In the podcast he also told a couple of people, including his daughter that Amanda had cancer. To me that indicates he is pushing the lie. Plus he ate the free food, went to all the charity events and free shows. He took advantage of the gifts and freebies just as much as she did.
Of course, he knew, as well as her mum
Satan has a solid hold on Amanda.
where can I watch it
Perhaps prepare before an interview so you are aware that one of the people you are interviewing (Nancy) is the one who discovered and developed the story, and is the one who was sued. SMH
Guess the whole “pride goes before destruction” is a real thing.
This kind of crap sure makes people think twice about giving to a self driven purpose. Shame on her. I wonder if she’ll start a go fund me now to pay off all the money she swindled.
A go fund account to help her pay back all the money she scammed! What a foul person.. Karma will come to her.
ppl suck bro :/
True dat
Meanwhile I am trying to raise money legitimately to open a store our town really needs and these people who scam, really really scam and people fall victim. 😞😞😞 It is very sad.
this was a terrific podcast, if it wasn't for Nancy, Amanda would still be stealing from others, making those who worked for her a living hell etc
By now, I can just assume anyone trying to raise funds to cure their own cancer is running a scam.
This case is incredible. She must have some sort of mental disease. How can anyone lie to everyone? Does she not feel guilt?
Such a great podcast!
I believe the term is psychopath. Seriously. The difference between a sociopath and a psychopath is the criminal element, which she has shown. I’ll bet something traumatic happened to her in her early childhood.
@@kjoy519he has munchausen’s with a psychopathy on top of it. We need to name it so people will see signs in the future…
@@kjoy519 it’s prevalent in the “Christian” community. Look at their love for Trump. Biggest scammer of all time.
People like her are incapable of feeling guilty, that’s why she was able to do everything she’s done.
😮
Sad, RIP Amanda.
I've been seeing more and more cancer videos pop-up, and some of these cancer people I hate to say it. I'm a little skeptical that they even have cancer , never show a hospital, some never show doctors with them, the women talking the husband and then all of a sudden. Oh, well, there's no more treatment, and they bow out. Without any parents involved, it's just a sister and a brother. How do you know if it's half these people, and there's people giving them money? Oh, my gosh, they are go fund me there. Always talking about. Oh, what this person wanted to do in their life It's really scaring. There's more and more videos of cancer popping up. And I don't know how you even know if these are real people you dont I know
Christians 😂
😂😂😂💯
What’s your point? She wasn’t a Christian and the people that were did things out of kindness and compassion. Is that something to laugh at?
@@starstar6777 my point is this…. “Christians” love throwing money at other “Christians” who look like them - in need. How many of those dopes from her church have given money to famine relief in Africa? Or you for that matter?
@@nathanielgarden2543 so if u get scammed ur a dope for donating?
They should’ve put hottest award-winning journalist
Omg stop , womansplaining 😅
These females need jail time
