I don't want money or attention, these people are the most disgusting. I'd give anything to be healthy, normal and to be able to work. I want to work, I want to stop suffering disease and treatments and feeling like a failure. I don't get money for being sick and I certainly don't get attention. If I could, I'd help others with Myasthenia Gravis fight!
@@392racer im... not sure if you're just coming at the assholes in the video, or if I'm in the crosshairs too. XP. So im just gonna clarify, either way, that I'm strictly coming at people who fake illness, regardless of reason, and not claiming that being actually sick/unwell is profitable or comes with any sort of benefit. Just in case. X3.
BuzzBee BeeBuzz She sounds just as looney as the stories she busts 🤣🤣🤣🤣😂😂. I guess this makes her an “expert”.??..?? Anyway if folks took the time out like she does then it would be damn near impossible for them to get scammed in anyway. It all starts with a private message of questions and a promise to donate. A hustler will tell you just about anything to get your money, like the rust in the blood part😂😂😂😂. Some people just get a kick at reading these kind of “heartfelt” stories and getting involved. I say No Way Jose🤣🤣🤣🤣. I’ll do my own fact checks and then I’ll take it from there. Some people are just born victims.
Ivoire Daniels Yup, I teach my lil man : QUESTION EVERYTHING and I test him frequently, for myself too!! Its easy to get caught up in your emotions when you are naturally a caring person.
Ivoire Daniels chemotherapy is paid for n full by Medicaid. I fought cancer in fourteen. I got disability and Medicaid so there isn't a need for go fund me accounts
As someone who is blind and shares my life on the internet... this is so frustrating. I've been accused of "faking it" despite SO much proof and it's because of people who DO fake their illnesses than genuine people like me are accused of it. I do what I do in attempts to educate society about disability, since mainstream media has failed us with the misconceptions they perpetuate in their storytelling of disability. It's frustrating to think about the fact that these people can be sick online, yet live a normal life on the daily. I don't get to walk away from blindness, I LIVE it every moment of every day. I face discrimination, I face real world struggles of inaccessibility and I NEVER get to walk away from it. It's frankly offensive to turn illness or disability into a money-maker. I make the best of my situation, but it's FAR from easy and I wouldn't wish it on anyone.
I was just about to write something similar! Yes, some people suck and fake illnesses. BUT NOT EVERYONE DOES! In fact, most people who are questioned about their illness or disability are not faking it. Don’t let a few bad apples ruin your view on invisible illnesses.
@LadyGaGa is hot SO? There is hydrogen in your blood, there is oxygen, does that mean you r blood is water? You don't know the difference between iron and the stuff they pull out of the ground? Why can't you stick a magnet to your forehead if you are full of iron?
@LadyGaGa is hot okay little girl, go to the vitamin shop and buy a bottle of iron pills, then put them in water and show me the rust, stop pretending you have any idea what you are talking about
@LadyGaGa is hot the only one being immature is you. The point that @johnmonk66 was making went over your head and you are trying to form an argument that had nothing to do with what he was talking about really. You are dumb.
I thought that was so silly... munchausen syndrome is a real psychological condition that revolves around craving attention and sympathy, whereas this is CLEARLY just scam artistry for money, which is not remotely like munchausen! Reckless use of medical terminology imo!
Why does the title say she "Claims to expose people"? When you show actual evidence of her successfully exposing people? Seems like thats not just a claim anymore...
@Wally Banter The depravity of the human nature. On both sides, if you get me. The white hats were not as white as they claimed to be, if you get me. These blogs like she had, proved to be a manual for scammers on how not to get caught. A sister blog to this one's had a seemingly young dude, supposedly had twin toddler sons he wanted custody of but they had health problems blah blah blah. It was a whole heroic sob story. I found the way the guy constantly replied to every post and investigation obsessive and a little creepy. Well low and behold about a year later it turns out he was a she and had lured an underage girl into a relationship that ended up being sexual(she was using a strap on in the dark) using the very story she had been telling everyone on the blog.

@@jacquelinescourageousworld2438 You'd be surprised with some of these. Like I said months ago, I used to watch her blog and a sister blog and some of the "cases" were insane. People talked about how they believed a sob story and donated hundreds of dollar. One guy I remember was like I donated 300 to Razing Ruth, a particularly long and weird case that spanned years of deception and scamming. Not just money though. That woman got gifts. I've seen people send baby gifts and toys to non existent children. Internet scams seem to be quite literally everywhere anymore.
MSM is going to help hillary clinton deceive the people into thinking she has a terminal illness so she wont be able to be prosecuted for her crimes?why would they drag her in front of a camera to cough ,drink water, and have a lozenge at "the 2018 Makers conference"?
I was hospitalized for a csf leak after a spinal tap. I have a lot of genetic health problems, one is a bleeding disorder. Delta granule storage pool deficiency. Which is treated with a platelet transfusion. But the doctor thought I was faking it. Told me I "should be healed" by now. And yes most people would be healed. But I had a complication due to my bleeding disorder... But people who fake it should be punished. But we have to rely on evidence. Being ignored for 2 weeks in the hospital because they just assumed I had function disorder. And that my mom was munchousins. Which was far from the truth. Due to the csf leak I couldn't even sit up. The pain was horrible. But just trying to sit up would trigger vomiting. The leak caused the pressure in my brain to mess up. Even now I have horrible nerve pain from damage that was likely done while I was being played with by the hospital staff. I remember when they told me it was all psychological... it crushed me. Thankfully my mother knew one of the main figures at the hospital and asked sternly yet nicely for new docs for me. All it took was an MRI and a blood test. the leak was clearly visible and the bleeding disorder was slightly rare so the hematologist walked all his students in. So 3 weeks. It was hell. I still have nightmares about it. Yes there are fakers. But it has to be proven completely. my negligent docs. One who told me I was dehydrated due to the salt water in my IV drip... they have caused horrible damage to my life. My leg pain from this ordeal never stops. It is just hell. And they didnt even apologize! Gah. I get mad just thinking of it. The hematologist and elderly pain doctor were amazing. They were smart and tried to help. While my 2 alternating attending doctors thought they were gods gift to the earth. And looked down on us. I know from experience that doctors have above average egos. But these newer younger doctors.. I really worry about the future. They never tried to look at the big picture and ignored my family history of bleeding. They saw a large list of meds on my list and assumed we were faking. I have shitty genetics. But being treated like that is just scarring
Even though my husband luckily lived 2 years after being diagnosed with stage 4 cancer. The last thing I wanted to do was spend time posting on social media and constantly answering questions. Luckily my sister in law took over a face book page updating friends and family.
Sorry to hear about your loss Mary. Sounds like you were able to focus on what was important and enjoy the last few years of your spouses life. Good on your sister in-law stepping up and keeping friends and family updated. Saved you so much time and again you focus on your loved ones final time with you.
@Marisa Kimberly psychologically she's actually much younger due to her abuse. I still think she should be in prison at least for a few years because well,, she helped orchestrate to kill her mum
We had to use Go Fund Me in 2015 when my wife was hospitized for four months after somehow contracting a skin eating bacteria and gangrene. I too am on disability and her sick time ran out. Without Go Fund Me and family we would have lost everything! This is appalling and I hope anyone guilty of this goes to prison!
I never got a single penny on a GoFundMe set up by my good friend after i was diagnosed with stage 3 colon cancer in Sept 2017. Not a single person chose to help me but yet fakers like these jokers get 1,800. Sickening to say the least.
Back in 2016 when I was 14 years old I was diagnosed with non-Hodgkin’s lymph Phoma stage 3 my mom is a single parent and stayed with me in the hospital for 6 months she ended up losing her job and our car also our apartment lease was going to be done with in the a couple weeks so we turned To GoFundMe and were able to raise enough money to get us financially stable and in a new apartment also get our car back with sum money extra to pay for rent and food without these people who donated I would probably be dead cause I had tumor behind my lung and one behind my stomach
My dad died from brain cancer just three months after he was diagnosed. He didn't have life insurance ad his illness consumed him faster than we could come up with money for a proper burial. These kinds of people just boil my blood. Crowd funding can be a great resource for people but people like this make it harder on cancer victims and their families.
I know exactly how you feel. My grandfather died from stomach cancer and we didn't have insurance we had to all come up with the money from his hospital bill and his funeral. We only had one donation and it was from our church. And to see people pretending to have cancer putting up go fund me page asking for their money it pisses me off. I'm so sorry for your lost. May your dad rest in peace.
My husband passed away 11 years ago from lung cancer. Family and friends helped with his care for which I am forever thankful. I cannot understand money hungry subhumans who use illness as a way to con people. I hope what goes around comes around for each one of them.
Most people who are only physically sick & not mentally do battle bravely & silently however there are millions of exceptions. If someone has is a rare illness there is often specialists & some medication that is only available by certain drs & cost a lot. If the person is going to die soon they may want to try pioneering treatment or raise money for the person to have some fun before they are too ill & are on their deathbed. If it is a chronic physical condition then a lot of medication is limited & there is off licence or expensive medication that can ease symptoms significantly & improve the quality of life for that person but it is difficult & expensive to get. If someone has been in an accident, suddenly develops a medical condition, or their condition deteriorates to the point that it reduces their mobility, then a lot of people need help raising funds to cover the cost of a wheelchair, a hoist, a wetroom, adaptations to the house etc. Before I became disabled I assumed that sick & disabled people got the help they needed but it was a harsh shock to learn how little support disabled people actually get.
@@chystal9161 I don't lie or speak for you, but some people do need help and reach out on the internet, ( and I sometimes support them) Just hate the fakes who pretend illnesses, they are the scum of the earth.
If they are innocent, why cancel the interview? I think it's good to expose fraudsters whose behaviour is despicable. Having said that, she would need to be sure she gets it right, and doesn't falsely accuse someone.
To be fair, it's the same sort of reason why your lawyer will tell you not to speak to the police. No matter how right you are, you've done something wrong.
Forest Que talk to a close friend or a trusted relative, they can set it up for you, do have all of your hospital paperwork at hand...just in case. Good luck to you. I'm a stage 4 cancer patient, I was too shy and somewhat embarrassed about setting a fund page but recently I had a major surgery on my femur bone due to the cancer, the healing process is long, I'm unable to work because radiation and harsh chemo will follow so I had no choice but to agree with my friend to set up the page. If your condition is true, don't be ashamed. You need help and you're not lying, so don't be so hard on yourself, focus on your health. My best wishes to you
Pinkish Milet Thank you! You are kind. I hope you are getting the help you need from your funding page!! Sending you love! My sister and husband wanted to set one up but I’ve been pretty adamant about not wanting one. But lately I’ve been having some complications that are expensive but I’ve been putting off treatment because of the cost. :/ I may have to reconsider. I just feel so humiliated about my family seeing it. They don’t support me at all and they view all illness as a weakness. I know it’s not, but they make me feel ashamed.
Forest Que so sorry about having that type of family. My family wasn't really there for me but now at stage 4, after many surgeries, they've seen with their own eyes the reality of cancer in me. I really hope your family can support you and give you the live you need right now, it's hard when your own flesh and blood are so distant when you're in need. On the positive side it only makes you stronger, because you learn to encounter and fight on your own. Always fight, be strong and don't give up so easily. Remember you're not alone. It's a bitter sweet feeling but it's true, you're not alone! 💗
Forest Que ...as far as the fund page, forget the shame. You need it and you're not lying. Have all your paperwork ready in case you need to shut some mouths up. Many people don't get it until it happens to them. Don't be ashamed, focus on your health and accept all the help given to you. God knows you really need it!
I'm sorry it took that long for your family to be there for you also. Thank you so much. You're right! It has definitely taught me that I have more strength than I ever knew. Thank you for your kind words!
I remember when I was younger there was a kid down the road who had brain cancer. It was a never ending fundraiser, parents kept getting nicer cars and remodeling home. Dam kid never died. I always suspected them of BS.
This is so sad that people would do this, when I was 6 my mom was diagnosed with cancer which over the next 2 years progressed and was everywhere, our community played a great part in helping our family. I still can’t believe that these people did this!
I’m glad she’s outing these frauds but I do hope she never gets too quick to point the Internet mob at someone... that would be terrible if they actually were sick.
My baby fought cancer for 3yr. She’s 6 this year and is in remission. It turns my stomach that people do this. It hurts people using a crowdfunding site that actually need help Sometimes I can’t stand humans....but then one comes along and shows me why we shouldn’t give up on everyone. Good work miss. Thank you.
I'm so glad she is in remission. May she continue to get stronger. I agree, this kind of behavior is disgusting. It takes from the people who really need it.
Turns out they didn't have cancer, but ARE cancer. My dad is a prostate cancer survivor and he had a lung cancer scare last year but luckily it was nothing.
I think the real and bigger issue is that we live in a country where people have to go use go fund me to take care of medical expenses for things like cancer! As if having a loved one that sick isn't difficult enough then add the ridiculous financial burden that comes along with it even if you do decent health insurance! We need UNIVERSAL HEALTHCARE!
There is an illness called brittle bone disease that results in frequent breaks. I saw that episode but now that I've learned about the illness it's not funny anymore
@@masonpatrices nothing, probably, until she gets picked up and has a budget. She's been doing this all on her own dime for years with an actual full time job and college. She's a bad ass!!
I really hope she doesn't accidentally target someone with an invisible illness. While I'm glad fakers are getting exposed, I hope the wrong person doesn't get the wrong end of the stick.
If you have an invisible illness you will have proof of that illness from your doctor. Just because it's an invisible illness it doesn't mean your medical records (that prove you have an invisible illness) are invisible too.
Ha, I knew it was fake when he responded "dialysis" to the question "How do you remove rust from the blood?" Everyone knows all you have to do is drink some WD-40!
@@masroorahmedkhan5028 What would case this hypothetical person to believe they have rust in their blood to begin with? Furthermore, if someone is smart enough to read and use the Internet, chances are they will know this is a joke and not to drink WD-40.
Not much makes me angrier than this. My dad lost his battle with colon cancer in March of 15 had it twice ( He was just 53) I do not know what the heck people find so appealing about faking cancer it ain't pretty for the patient or the family and I would wish it on NO ONE.
they find it appealing because they can get money from naive people, makes me sick its not only wrong its a disservice to people like ur father who actually suffer from cancer.
My aunt died from stage 4 cancer only 6 weeks after her diagnosis. She had bladder cancer that went up into her spine and brain. She lost the ability to walk and, towards the end, became aggressive and forgot who we were (because of the brain lesions). It’s hard enough going through that but seeing people do this kind of crap just makes me sick. Like it undermined everything both she and my entire family went through.
Val Narr it's 7 months later, but we never fully heal from a loved one's loss. I'm so sorry for your loss. Nothing I or anyone can say can make it better. Live your life.
These scam artists forget that there are medical health professionals that are experts at sussing them out. They make it a 1000 times more difficult for real cases to access the help they need.
When I met my ex-husband, he told me he had had stomach cancer. There's a whole bunch to this story, but it eventually came down to me taking him to y ER early one morning cuz he was having chest pains. I'd seen his grandfather's grave so new it wasn't a lie that grandpa had died young. But when the ER Dr asked my ex about medical history, including cancer, he said he'd had a benign polyp removed. So, yeah, people lie about having cancer.
My Grandfather died of Cancer, it had gone from the liver into the blood and finally into the bones. I remember how he had always been such a strong man but once the cancer got into the bones he was so frail and weak that at times he needed help just going to the washroom.
I appreciate her efforts, this kind of thing is super frustrating to me as a cancer patient (and I’m sure others feel the same). It’s this example that prevents me from reaching out for help. But I do want to clarify one thing she was upsettingly wrong about, and that is the “well you don’t look sick”. Not everyone with cancer (or any invisible illness) looks sick, not everyone is rail thin or loses their hair. My brother had an awful aggressive cancer and he looked very sick but never lost his hair, I have leukemia and you wouldn’t know to look at me that I was fighting cancer. So I would just ask that people use caution with that point. Otherwise happy hunting, I guess 😏
Omg I'm so sorry about your brother and you, I hope you recover and live a long healthy life. My mom has Leukemia. The type is acute myeloid leukemia. She's almost to getting a transplant. I just want her to get better and gave to visit the doctor and hospital less. She looks healthy as well except she has lost some hair but we think that it's from this lady at 1 of the hospital's she was at that washed her hair with this shampoo cap thing.
That isn't even close to her criteria for finding hoaxers. I wish people would pay more attention to what they're watching and reading. Go back and watch again, and you'll see there were MANY factors involved, not just one or two things. SMDH
If I had 3 types of cancer and was having daily seizures, and a stranger accused me of faking, I'd roll my eyes and go back to my chemo. I wouldn't throw a tantrum saying "Why would anyone fake this?!"
Actually, my grandma has stage 4 lung cancer. She looks heathy and happy, but what she really feels is pain and sadness. So it’s not true that you have to look sick to have an illness. I know many people battling illnesses and they look like they just one the lottery. But really they feel upset and sad. I agree on all other statements though!
Exactly. I'm always curious what exactly we're supposed to "look" like. We aren't allowed to do our best to push through it all & at least feel like somewhat of a normal person by getting dressed? I get this alot. Rumors spread about me after losing my last job as I was quite literally dying from untreated, unknown pernicious anemia (I had for years before i was life flighted to an ICU). I wish people would just ask instead of assuming based off their ignorance and bias. I guess it helps me weed out people I'd rather not have in my life though. Your grandma sounds amazing btw, give her a hug for me lol
As someone who has an invisible illness I totally get it. But when it comes to claiming cancer, you better have some answers. Anyone who truly has it has been educated by their doctor. Not just some um, starts with a "c". And then they bail
I agree. I have stage 3 lung cancer and look healthy n happy. But when I'm alone it's a lot of sadness in me. Every1 is different and reacts different to illness. What this lady is doing is good n i respect what she doing but PLEASE make sure you don't accuse sum1 as a hoax unless ur 100% right cause for sum1 who truly is sick it can be the end...
Why in heavens name do someone WANT to be ill, i've delt with illness day in and day out since i've been 13 i'd do anything not to deal with it. I really can't wrap my head around some folk and how they take pleasure in having an illness, nine times out of ten when i speak to people i'll brush off my disease just to talk about something else, something going on in the persons life. But I will say i've been in support groups over the years and you can spot someone who is there for the attention compared to someone who need support or looking for treatment plans/help etc.. It is scary that someone think being sick is "fun" or "glamorous" sick it really is sick.
Me too. I can't even remember what it was like not to be sick. I would give anything just for 5 minutes of feeling normal! These people clearly have mental deficiencies.
Annie BornAgain I know exactly what you mean, I had a stroke 3 years ago and I'm about 50-60%, which is awesome, don't get me wrong, but not being able to walk right, left arm extremely weak, and constantly fatigued, I would love to be"normal" again.
Annie BornAgain I know, right? My father's wife exaggerates every little thing wrong with her(she still refers to a panic attack she had and called 911 about, they sent life flight to pick her up btw, as her heart attack). Meanwhile I can barely turn a doorknob and need a 3 hour nap after a trip to the grocery store and take more daily meds than I care to count just to function the small amount that I still can. I feel guilty for not being able to take care of my family, I miss having a job and hobbies and will never be able to do all the things I planned for the future because of pain and exhaustion from dealing with chronic pain every day.
I get what she's doing but it's the people that take it too far. I have had 4 back surgeries 12 epidurals and over a thousand trigger point injections over 6 years. I had the get a handicap permit. Im 29 years old and have had to lay down in the middle of a busy store because of back spasms so bad I cried. But adults will follow me on store yelling at me for missuing or faking my need for a permit one. Woman followed me in to a restroom a screamed at me. But I'm the one kick out of the store. Just don't take it to far. Probably 60% or the month I look happy and healthy and I rarely post pictures of me on my bad days because I want to be reminded of the good days not the shitty ones. Just remember that just because doesn't look sick or hurt doesn't mean they aren't fighting awful side effects. And a person using handicap plates only had to explain to a cop not you what there medical issues are and blocking them in to a parking space until a cop arrives is unlawful detainment or kidnapping depending on how far an officer wants to take it.
I am disabled and one thing I have found is yes I could probably do a desk job, but often times those are not entry-level postitions. That means that I first have to "get my foot in the door" and given my particular limitations that would be tricky.
I hate a-holes who think young people cant be sick or ill because they "look". I was 27 when I had my back surgery, before that I could barely walk or sit. I would use the electric carts at grocery stores and stuff. Omg!!!! The rude shit I got for it was unbelievable and on top of it because I'm overweight they made it all about my fat and how I'm lazy. So frustrating.
I have the same problem. I’m 27 & I suffer from Syringomyelia a spinal disease. & all though I’m not fully chair bound their are times when my limbs just go numb. I can’t tell you how many people I’ve had to cuss out for trying to tell me I wasn’t handicapped. My brown skin in a predominantly white area in Texas doesn’t help either. I’ve just started leaving my folder with all my test results in the car
jessica mcwilliams I have fibromyalgia I am 45 years old I have been dealing with this for more than five years and is difficult for people to understand that the pain is real that I am not laying people thinks that I'm exaggerating some times people is so quick to judge
"Im 29 years old.... But adults will follow me on store" What the hell? At 29 are you not also an adult? So why mention that the harassment is from adults? Only minor children use that sort of speech.
My uncle recently died this year. He was diagnosed too late. No amount of money could’ve saved him. The only thing that would make a difference is the last year of his life. This really is awful to watch, and knowing someone who suffered, these people should be arrested and refund the cash to the people who were swindled.
My sister is 40. Currently has 6 tumours on her brain, its in her lungs, and now bone. It all started with breast cancer. These ppl make me sick to my stomach.
Remember not everyone with cancer loses hair it’s chemo therapy which is a common treatment for cancer which makes them lose hair. Yes I know he’s faking I just wanted to tell you that.
Danielle 1244 I know that, and honestly most terminal patients choose not to go through chemotherapy because it's only going to give them a little bit of time at the cost of a lot of pain and suffering. I'm honestly just an ass hole. You'll find many offensive comments from me on UA-cam.
Thank you taryn for your help in stopping this madness. My beautiful 27yr old daughter charley passed away from breast cancer on 11/23/19...an we were actually trying to legally raise the money to send her to the hospital in Texas that could have saved her life. But it went to her liver an she went toxic so we watched my beautiful child slowly die in pain from liver failure for almost 3 mos an what these people are doing is taking money from generous people that could actually go to the ones who truly need it like my baby. I wish they could truly see what they are doing. My lil girl was amazing an loved life. Karma is real an in this case karmas name is tamrya wright god bless you always
I lived in Japan when i was younger and always complained about wanting to go back to America and then i got cancer making us come to texas lol..now i just really want to go back. Careful what you wish for
No, you don't! What a terrible thing to say.! Cancer is a BEAST. Don't miss and curse yourself, wishing cancer on someone else. Wish them all of the happiness and, be glad that they are no longer in your life.
@@zigzag2450 your right, wishing cancer uppon dirtbags is a disqusting display of laziness. You should wish the cancer uppon theire children so they'd have to watch while they slowly fade away. Far more suffering that way. Also, aids.
paul austin um nobody who isn't lying won't get harmed. So yeah, please get some common sense. If you think someone isn't a hero because they're helping people not get scammed, you need help.
Let me just say this.......my mother had breast cancer back in the 60s. She had a radical mastectomy, and then got on with her life. My Grandmother had breast cancer when she was in her 80s, had a radical mastectomy, and that went into bone cancer. She immediately, after they started chemo and radiation....began to look ill. She wore a leg brace, had cancer popping up on her skull.....in her arms, was in the hospital for Phlebitis several times, and they eventually had to amputate her leg. She ended up in a nursing home due to the fact that they had her on the strongest chemo they had. She couldn't eat, she couldn't drink, she looked like a walking skeleton. She died on the fourth of July. Not a single time did she ever ask anyone for any money. She funded her own treatment with insurance she bought and paid for every month by turning in U.S. savings bonds that she had been buying since WWII. She had medicare, of course, but it never paid for everything. I see frauds like this and it just makes me flaming mad. These people need to be found by the cops and the district attorneys ought to throw the book a them. Jail time is needed.
The fact that people have to lie about being sick and I’m really sick irritated me to the core. I was in the hospital all last month even spent a week in the ICU and never thought to take pictures while being that sick
Bravo !!!!! I'm thrilled you've busted up these types of scammers!! It's about as low as you can go to take advantage of ppl with hearts just to beg for money. This world is filling up with folks that suck the blood out of hard working ppl shamelessly! Keep up the great work !!!
My 92 year old grandmother has stage 4 lung cancer. Since she is taking pills & not chemo, her hair is intact. There are new treatments for cancers that target the tumor through gene therapy & that is what she is on since someone her age surviving chemo is unlikely. It works pretty well. Maybe we had better get up to date on current treatments before we make too many assumptions. Just sayin. Have a great day!
Hair loss comes from chemo. If you aren't in treatment-no hair loss. I only lost hair with the chemo. About 2 months after last chemo it started to come back.
I've done that for years. Unfortunately for me, one of my medical issues is fatal if untreated & I had no idea I had it. I'd ignored all the symptoms for years & worked through, pushed past them all. Passing out included. I'd have to pull over while driving and lay down until it went away. I worked night shifts until I nearly died. I would have too if I didn't get life flighted to an ICU & given 3 blood transfusions. And monthly b12 shots for the rest of my life. Or I will die.
THAT IS NORMAL These people aren’t and you can see in some comments that this story not only taught people NOTHING, but has been seen as an invitation to prey on others further. Seriously, sociopaths have NO SHAME.
All of this can be avoided if healthcare was made free or affordable. The fact that people have to crowdfund for medical care is inhumane and opens the door for scammers.
I notice that people who are in those situations usually don’t ask for help at all because they don’t want to attract attention or feel like a burden to others. Mostly it’s a family friend will post on their behalf.
Nice scam exposing, I wish she'd had a gofundme page of her own for the service she is doing to the community, complete with well documented solved cases.
paul austin not really. She’s doing a service so the people who ACTUALLY need it will get money. Can’t believe people fell for this. Who has cancer yet doesn’t know what kind 🤦🏻♀️ dead giveaway
Bruna Ferreira, i think you got this idea for your comment from the the person who posted virtually the same thing a month before you did. Since we're calling out fraudsters, I couldn't let you slide.
My dad lied about having cancer. Gambled my moms money and left us at age five and remarried and started a family in California. Didn’t visit often and then all of a sudden moves close to us once we turned 18. As soon as we got jobs, he started asking for money after his “cancer” diagnosis. Never lost any weight, and still had pores in his scalp after he shaved it. Later used my brothers social security number to open a credit card line to pay off his debts. Lol the guy owes $68,000 in child support😱
What a creep! It doesn’t surprise me when parents who ran off and came crawling back to look for sympathy. During 2011-2013 when, I had pancreatic cancer and, I was so yellowed all over! Including my eyes and foods that can’t hold down. Glad it’s over unfortunately, several months later, I turned into type 2 diabetes and on disability. And tell your loser daddy to get lost!
My daughter had a roommate who claimed she had cancer. She was actually hooked on opiates and was using this as a way to explain why she was always taking oxycontin. She stopped paying her share of the rent and utilities and borrowed money from all her friends. Finally my daughter had to contact the girl's parents and they paid off all the debts and brought her back home to rehab. Thankfully she didn't think to put up a GoFundMe page. The funny part of this came a few years later. I was going through chemo for cancer and my daughter asked why my hair had fallen out, since her friend's hair hadn't. She had so bought into her friend's story, she forgot that she had not really had cancer.
OMG this is literally me on Instagram... I could not relate more with her. It's absolutely despicable the amount of people who will do this and the lengths they will go and still deny everything. I'm so fed up.
I posted one of these for my dad who was actually sick with stage 4 cancer, pictures of him after surgery, chemo, with doctors, daily updates...I got zero dollars, now I have zero dollars left and no dad.... It was a low point even to have to ask others for help....and my biggest regret was doing it...shameful of me asking for other people to help....
I sincerely thank you for your hard work fighting against these incredibly disturbed people. My Dad died of lung cancer and my sister is currently battling brain cancer. Cancer is not a disease that discriminates. So, it’s very easy, that cancer could turn around and impact some one in their family. I sincerely thank you for doing all the private investigation on your own time. This family honestly disgusts me!!!. You are a true medical hero. Many many prayers!!

As someone who is blind and shares my life on the internet... this is so frustrating. I've been accused of "faking it" despite SO much proof and it's because of people who DO fake their illnesses than genuine people like me are accused of it. I do what I do in attempts to educate society about disability, since mainstream media has failed us with the misconceptions they perpetuate in their storytelling of disability. It's frustrating to think about the fact that these people can be sick online, yet live a normal life on the daily. I don't get to walk away from blindness, I LIVE it every moment of every day. I face discrimination, I face real world struggles of inaccessibility and I NEVER get to walk away from it. It's frankly offensive to turn illness or disability into a money-maker. I make the best of my situation, but it's FAR from easy and I wouldn't wish it on anyone.
You are inspiring

@@christiniyoutubesux was thinking the very same. Not entirely blind I thought.
I was just about to write something similar! Yes, some people suck and fake illnesses. BUT NOT EVERYONE DOES! In fact, most people who are questioned about their illness or disability are not faking it. Don’t let a few bad apples ruin your view on invisible illnesses.
As a guy who went through Chemo twice, radiation daily for three months, and beat cancer, this sickens me.

Why does the title say she "Claims to expose people"? When you show actual evidence of her successfully exposing people? Seems like thats not just a claim anymore...
I used to follow her blog actually. Loved watching her work.
@Wally Banter The depravity of the human nature. On both sides, if you get me. The white hats were not as white as they claimed to be, if you get me. These blogs like she had, proved to be a manual for scammers on how not to get caught. A sister blog to this one's had a seemingly young dude, supposedly had twin toddler sons he wanted custody of but they had health problems blah blah blah. It was a whole heroic sob story. I found the way the guy constantly replied to every post and investigation obsessive and a little creepy. Well low and behold about a year later it turns out he was a she and had lured an underage girl into a relationship that ended up being sexual(she was using a strap on in the dark) using the very story she had been telling everyone on the blog.

Dude. You nailed it.
Haha yea true!
I had to do an actual 10 sec skip-back to play that one! Unbelievable!!! 🤦🏻♀️😂🤪
I was hospitalized for a csf leak after a spinal tap. I have a lot of genetic health problems, one is a bleeding disorder. Delta granule storage pool deficiency. Which is treated with a platelet transfusion.
But the doctor thought I was faking it. Told me I "should be healed" by now. And yes most people would be healed. But I had a complication due to my bleeding disorder...
But people who fake it should be punished. But we have to rely on evidence. Being ignored for 2 weeks in the hospital because they just assumed I had function disorder. And that my mom was munchousins. Which was far from the truth.
Due to the csf leak I couldn't even sit up. The pain was horrible. But just trying to sit up would trigger vomiting. The leak caused the pressure in my brain to mess up. Even now I have horrible nerve pain from damage that was likely done while I was being played with by the hospital staff.
I remember when they told me it was all psychological... it crushed me. Thankfully my mother knew one of the main figures at the hospital and asked sternly yet nicely for new docs for me.
All it took was an MRI and a blood test. the leak was clearly visible and the bleeding disorder was slightly rare so the hematologist walked all his students in.
So 3 weeks. It was hell. I still have nightmares about it.
Yes there are fakers. But it has to be proven completely. my negligent docs. One who told me I was dehydrated due to the salt water in my IV drip... they have caused horrible damage to my life.
My leg pain from this ordeal never stops. It is just hell. And they didnt even apologize! Gah. I get mad just thinking of it.
The hematologist and elderly pain doctor were amazing. They were smart and tried to help.
While my 2 alternating attending doctors thought they were gods gift to the earth. And looked down on us. I know from experience that doctors have above average egos.
But these newer younger doctors.. I really worry about the future. They never tried to look at the big picture and ignored my family history of bleeding. They saw a large list of meds on my list and assumed we were faking. I have shitty genetics. But being treated like that is just scarring

Back in 2016 when I was 14 years old I was diagnosed with non-Hodgkin’s lymph Phoma stage 3 my mom is a single parent and stayed with me in the hospital for 6 months she ended up losing her job and our car also our apartment lease was going to be done with in the a couple weeks so we turned To GoFundMe and were able to raise enough money to get us financially stable and in a new apartment also get our car back with sum money extra to pay for rent and food without these people who donated I would probably be dead cause I had tumor behind my lung and one behind my stomach

My dad died from brain cancer just three months after he was diagnosed. He didn't have life insurance ad his illness consumed him faster than we could come up with money for a proper burial.

I know exactly how you feel. My grandfather died from stomach cancer and we didn't have insurance we had to all come up with the money from his hospital bill and his funeral. We only had one donation and it was from our church. And to see people pretending to have cancer putting up go fund me page asking for their money it pisses me off. I'm so sorry for your lost. May your dad rest in peace.
My husband passed away 11 years ago from lung cancer. Family and friends helped with his care for which I am forever thankful. I cannot understand money hungry subhumans who use illness as a way to con people. I hope what goes around comes around for each one of them.
"He was seen holding a child, looking robust"😂😂real life is so much funnier than movies
Most ppl who are sick don't ask for money they battle it painfully and silently
I disagree, some cases are real and people sometimes are despaired and have a right to ask and receive money. the fakes are arseholes.
Most people who are only physically sick & not mentally do battle bravely & silently however there are millions of exceptions. If someone has is a rare illness there is often specialists & some medication that is only available by certain drs & cost a lot. If the person is going to die soon they may want to try pioneering treatment or raise money for the person to have some fun before they are too ill & are on their deathbed. If it is a chronic physical condition then a lot of medication is limited & there is off licence or expensive medication that can ease symptoms significantly & improve the quality of life for that person but it is difficult & expensive to get. If someone has been in an accident, suddenly develops a medical condition, or their condition deteriorates to the point that it reduces their mobility, then a lot of people need help raising funds to cover the cost of a wheelchair, a hoist, a wetroom, adaptations to the house etc.
Before I became disabled I assumed that sick & disabled people got the help they needed but it was a harsh shock to learn how little support disabled people actually get.

Good luck to you.
I'm a stage 4 cancer patient, I was too shy and somewhat embarrassed about setting a fund page but recently I had a major surgery on my femur bone due to the cancer, the healing process is long, I'm unable to work because radiation and harsh chemo will follow so I had no choice but to agree with my friend to set up the page.
If your condition is true, don't be ashamed. You need help and you're not lying, so don't be so hard on yourself, focus on your health.
My best wishes to you
Pinkish Milet Thank you! You are kind. I hope you are getting the help you need from your funding page!! Sending you love!
My sister and husband wanted to set one up but I’ve been pretty adamant about not wanting one. But lately I’ve been having some complications that are expensive but I’ve been putting off treatment because of the cost. :/ I may have to reconsider. I just feel so humiliated about my family seeing it. They don’t support me at all and they view all illness as a weakness. I know it’s not, but they make me feel ashamed.
Forest Que so sorry about having that type of family. My family wasn't really there for me but now at stage 4, after many surgeries, they've seen with their own eyes the reality of cancer in me.
I really hope your family can support you and give you the live you need right now, it's hard when your own flesh and blood are so distant when you're in need. On the positive side it only makes you stronger, because you learn to encounter and fight on your own.
Always fight, be strong and don't give up so easily. Remember you're not alone. It's a bitter sweet feeling but it's true, you're not alone!
💗
Forest Que ...as far as the fund page, forget the shame. You need it and you're not lying. Have all your paperwork ready in case you need to shut some mouths up. Many people don't get it until it happens to them.
Don't be ashamed, focus on your health and accept all the help given to you.
God knows you really need it!
I'm sorry it took that long for your family to be there for you also. Thank you so much. You're right! It has definitely taught me that I have more strength than I ever knew. Thank you for your kind words!

When I met my ex-husband, he told me he had had stomach cancer. There's a whole bunch to this story, but it eventually came down to me taking him to y ER early one morning cuz he was having chest pains. I'd seen his grandfather's grave so new it wasn't a lie that grandpa had died young. But when the ER Dr asked my ex about medical history, including cancer, he said he'd had a benign polyp removed. So, yeah, people lie about having cancer.
My Grandfather died of Cancer, it had gone from the liver into the blood and finally into the bones. I remember how he had always been such a strong man but once the cancer got into the bones he was so frail and weak that at times he needed help just going to the washroom.

It’s this example that prevents me from reaching out for help.
But I do want to clarify one thing she was upsettingly wrong about, and that is the “well you don’t look sick”.
Not everyone with cancer (or any invisible illness) looks sick, not everyone is rail thin or loses their hair.
My brother had an awful aggressive cancer and he looked very sick but never lost his hair,
I have leukemia and you wouldn’t know to look at me that I was fighting cancer.
So I would just ask that people use caution with that point.
Otherwise happy hunting, I guess 😏
Agree. I have stage 4 Sarcoma with lung metastases and nobody can tell.
Omg I'm so sorry about your brother and you, I hope you recover and live a long healthy life. My mom has Leukemia. The type is acute myeloid leukemia. She's almost to getting a transplant. I just want her to get better and gave to visit the doctor and hospital less. She looks healthy as well except she has lost some hair but we think that it's from this lady at 1 of the hospital's she was at that washed her hair with this shampoo cap thing.
So shaving your head is not a requirement if you have cancer? (No offense)
That isn't even close to her criteria for finding hoaxers. I wish people would pay more attention to what they're watching and reading. Go back and watch again, and you'll see there were MANY factors involved, not just one or two things. SMDH
@@TheModernPainter Some treatments cause patchy hair loss, so some people just shave it all off instead of having patchy hair.
I’m blind, please donate for a new set of eyes.
If you type that in unicode braille it'd make a really good shitpost
@@sphere7633 😂
If I had 3 types of cancer and was having daily seizures, and a stranger accused me of faking, I'd roll my eyes and go back to my chemo. I wouldn't throw a tantrum saying "Why would anyone fake this?!"
Actually, my grandma has stage 4 lung cancer. She looks heathy and happy, but what she really feels is pain and sadness. So it’s not true that you have to look sick to have an illness. I know many people battling illnesses and they look like they just one the lottery. But really they feel upset and sad. I agree on all other statements though!
Exactly. I'm always curious what exactly we're supposed to "look" like. We aren't allowed to do our best to push through it all & at least feel like somewhat of a normal person by getting dressed? I get this alot. Rumors spread about me after losing my last job as I was quite literally dying from untreated, unknown pernicious anemia (I had for years before i was life flighted to an ICU). I wish people would just ask instead of assuming based off their ignorance and bias. I guess it helps me weed out people I'd rather not have in my life though.
Your grandma sounds amazing btw, give her a hug for me lol
As someone who has an invisible illness I totally get it. But when it comes to claiming cancer, you better have some answers. Anyone who truly has it has been educated by their doctor. Not just some um, starts with a "c". And then they bail
When my mom was in hospital in her last days she wasn’t hooked up to anything. Only oxygen.
Gatcha Music I accidentally hit the dislike button while trying to hit like sorry I took it off and gave you a like though😋💓
I agree. I have stage 3 lung cancer and look healthy n happy. But when I'm alone it's a lot of sadness in me. Every1 is different and reacts different to illness.
What this lady is doing is good n i respect what she doing but PLEASE make sure you don't accuse sum1 as a hoax unless ur 100% right cause for sum1 who truly is sick it can be the end...
Why in heavens name do someone WANT to be ill, i've delt with illness day in and day out since i've been 13 i'd do anything not to deal with it. I really can't wrap my head around some folk and how they take pleasure in having an illness, nine times out of ten when i speak to people i'll brush off my disease just to talk about something else, something going on in the persons life. But I will say i've been in support groups over the years and you can spot someone who is there for the attention compared to someone who need support or looking for treatment plans/help etc.. It is scary that someone think being sick is "fun" or "glamorous" sick it really is sick.
Annie BornAgain its not about the attention...its just another paycheck sadly
Me too. I can't even remember what it was like not to be sick. I would give anything just for 5 minutes of feeling normal! These people clearly have mental deficiencies.
Annie BornAgain I know exactly what you mean, I had a stroke 3 years ago and I'm about 50-60%, which is awesome, don't get me wrong, but not being able to walk right, left arm extremely weak, and constantly fatigued, I would love to be"normal" again.
Annie BornAgain I know, right? My father's wife exaggerates every little thing wrong with her(she still refers to a panic attack she had and called 911 about, they sent life flight to pick her up btw, as her heart attack). Meanwhile I can barely turn a doorknob and need a 3 hour nap after a trip to the grocery store and take more daily meds than I care to count just to function the small amount that I still can. I feel guilty for not being able to take care of my family, I miss having a job and hobbies and will never be able to do all the things I planned for the future because of pain and exhaustion from dealing with chronic pain every day.
Money hungry people
"Hoax hunter"!!! I love it
@Laura Torre,
*Damn, you sure are a lil’ CUTIE 😍! May I PLEASE pay for your college tuition/student loans (Soon-To-Be Dr.) 😩?*
My cousin died of cancer and we never asked for money. EVER
Respect. I'm sorry for your loss.
I get what she's doing but it's the people that take it too far. I have had 4 back surgeries 12 epidurals and over a thousand trigger point injections over 6 years. I had the get a handicap permit. Im 29 years old and have had to lay down in the middle of a busy store because of back spasms so bad I cried. But adults will follow me on store yelling at me for missuing or faking my need for a permit one. Woman followed me in to a restroom a screamed at me. But I'm the one kick out of the store. Just don't take it to far. Probably 60% or the month I look happy and healthy and I rarely post pictures of me on my bad days because I want to be reminded of the good days not the shitty ones. Just remember that just because doesn't look sick or hurt doesn't mean they aren't fighting awful side effects. And a person using handicap plates only had to explain to a cop not you what there medical issues are and blocking them in to a parking space until a cop arrives is unlawful detainment or kidnapping depending on how far an officer wants to take it.
I am disabled and one thing I have found is yes I could probably do a desk job, but often times those are not entry-level postitions. That means that I first have to "get my foot in the door" and given my particular limitations that would be tricky.
I hate a-holes who think young people cant be sick or ill because they "look". I was 27 when I had my back surgery, before that I could barely walk or sit. I would use the electric carts at grocery stores and stuff. Omg!!!! The rude shit I got for it was unbelievable and on top of it because I'm overweight they made it all about my fat and how I'm lazy. So frustrating.
I have the same problem. I’m 27 & I suffer from Syringomyelia a spinal disease. & all though I’m not fully chair bound their are times when my limbs just go numb. I can’t tell you how many people I’ve had to cuss out for trying to tell me I wasn’t handicapped. My brown skin in a predominantly white area in Texas doesn’t help either. I’ve just started leaving my folder with all my test results in the car
jessica mcwilliams I have fibromyalgia I am 45 years old I have been dealing with this for more than five years and is difficult for people to understand that the pain is real that I am not laying people thinks that I'm exaggerating some times people is so quick to judge
"Im 29 years old.... But adults will follow me on store"
What the hell? At 29 are you not also an adult? So why mention that the harassment is from adults?
Only minor children use that sort of speech.
Can't come to work today. I got rust in my blood.
My uncle recently died this year. He was diagnosed too late. No amount of money could’ve saved him. The only thing that would make a difference is the last year of his life. This really is awful to watch, and knowing someone who suffered, these people should be arrested and refund the cash to the people who were swindled.
My sister is 40. Currently has 6 tumours on her brain, its in her lungs, and now bone. It all started with breast cancer. These ppl make me sick to my stomach.
He sure has a lot of hair for a patient with four terminal cancers.
Remember not everyone with cancer loses hair it’s chemo therapy which is a common treatment for cancer which makes them lose hair. Yes I know he’s faking I just wanted to tell you that.
Danielle 1244 I know that, and honestly most terminal patients choose not to go through chemotherapy because it's only going to give them a little bit of time at the cost of a lot of pain and suffering. I'm honestly just an ass hole. You'll find many offensive comments from me on UA-cam.
@Wee Mac 😂🤣😂🤣
Danielle 1244
Not every chemo causes hair loss. However, it's clear that these two are con artists.
My friend is dying from cancer and she still has a full head of hair. :) not all chemo patients lose their hair.
These people are sick!
But not with cancer, just in the head! 😅
Thank you taryn for your help in stopping this madness. My beautiful 27yr old daughter charley passed away from breast cancer on 11/23/19...an we were actually trying to legally raise the money to send her to the hospital in Texas that could have saved her life. But it went to her liver an she went toxic so we watched my beautiful child slowly die in pain from liver failure for almost 3 mos an what these people are doing is taking money from generous people that could actually go to the ones who truly need it like my baby. I wish they could truly see what they are doing.
My lil girl was amazing an loved life.
Karma is real an in this case karmas name is tamrya wright god bless you always
Condolences for your loss. May God bless you 🙏🏻 ❤
She needs a TV show based on her experience so less people will do it. You have a special spot in heaven! God bless her!-
Be careful what you fake....you just might get it. Karma never sleeps..she gets you when you least expect it. 💯
I lived in Japan when i was younger and always complained about wanting to go back to America and then i got cancer making us come to texas lol..now i just really want to go back. Careful what you wish for
I hope my ex really does get cancer
@@lama6911 .... wow. I hope you're not serious. You should NEVER wish cancer on anybody. You're a disgusting human being.
No, you don't! What a terrible thing to say.! Cancer is a BEAST. Don't miss and curse yourself, wishing cancer on someone else. Wish them all of the happiness and, be glad that they are no longer in your life.
@@zigzag2450 your right, wishing cancer uppon dirtbags is a disqusting display of laziness.
You should wish the cancer uppon theire children so they'd have to watch while they slowly fade away.
Far more suffering that way.
Also, aids.
Smart woman! Does anyone know about the show? I’d love to watch it.
tampajohn me too
how do these investigations not lead to mental illness for the investigators? I honestly think I would lose my mind if this were my job.
My daughter died in 2000. We were turned down for SSI while she had cancer.
Now I know why...........
someone’s “ill”
in your neighborhood
who you gonna call
HOAX HUNTER
Not all heros wear capes
Exactly.
You misspelled "heroes." However, you're right. She doesn't need to wear a cape to fight bad guys like these hoaxers.
Not all heroes are actually heroes.
Heroes save lives not money.
paul austin um nobody who isn't lying won't get harmed. So yeah, please get some common sense. If you think someone isn't a hero because they're helping people not get scammed, you need help.
Im so glad im dead inside, saves me so much money
Now,this is true journalism.! Great work!!!
Let me just say this.......my mother had breast cancer back in the 60s. She had a radical mastectomy, and then got on with her life. My Grandmother had breast cancer when she was in her 80s, had a radical mastectomy, and that went into bone cancer. She immediately, after they started chemo and radiation....began to look ill. She wore a leg brace, had cancer popping up on her skull.....in her arms, was in the hospital for Phlebitis several times, and they eventually had to amputate her leg. She ended up in a nursing home due to the fact that they had her on the strongest chemo they had. She couldn't eat, she couldn't drink, she looked like a walking skeleton. She died on the fourth of July. Not a single time did she ever ask anyone for any money. She funded her own treatment with insurance she bought and paid for every month by turning in U.S. savings bonds that she had been buying since WWII. She had medicare, of course, but it never paid for everything. I see frauds like this and it just makes me flaming mad. These people need to be found by the cops and the district attorneys ought to throw the book a them. Jail time is needed.
She is a strong woman props to her for being strong and independent her courage and perseverance is inspiring
Chemo and radio creates cancer
yes great idea, lets spend more time and money housing them after they already stole ur money for free housing and food yes what a amazing idea
“He knows because it begins with a C” lmao
The fact that people have to lie about being sick and I’m really sick irritated me to the core. I was in the hospital all last month even spent a week in the ICU and never thought to take pictures while being that sick
Bravo !!!!! I'm thrilled you've busted up these types of scammers!! It's about as low as you can go to take advantage of ppl with hearts just to beg for money. This world is filling up with folks that suck the blood out of hard working ppl shamelessly!
Keep up the great work !!!
Way to go girl. Its hard to be the whistleblower but it's necessary. Stage 4 cancer with a full heard and hair is odd
My 92 year old grandmother has stage 4 lung cancer. Since she is taking pills & not chemo, her hair is intact. There are new treatments for cancers that target the tumor through gene therapy & that is what she is on since someone her age surviving chemo is unlikely. It works pretty well. Maybe we had better get up to date on current treatments before we make too many assumptions. Just sayin. Have a great day!
Hair loss comes from chemo. If you aren't in treatment-no hair loss.
I only lost hair with the chemo. About 2 months after last chemo it started to come back.
Funny . I'm sick ,but I fake to be healthy . My dad used to said: Is all in the brain.
I've done that for years. Unfortunately for me, one of my medical issues is fatal if untreated & I had no idea I had it. I'd ignored all the symptoms for years & worked through, pushed past them all. Passing out included. I'd have to pull over while driving and lay down until it went away. I worked night shifts until I nearly died. I would have too if I didn't get life flighted to an ICU & given 3 blood transfusions.
And monthly b12 shots for the rest of my life. Or I will die.
THAT IS NORMAL
These people aren’t and you can see in some comments that this story not only taught people NOTHING, but has been seen as an invitation to prey on others further. Seriously, sociopaths have NO SHAME.
Me too.
All of this can be avoided if healthcare was made free or affordable. The fact that people have to crowdfund for medical care is inhumane and opens the door for scammers.
I notice that people who are in those situations usually don’t ask for help at all because they don’t want to attract attention or feel like a burden to others. Mostly it’s a family friend will post on their behalf.
Nice scam exposing, I wish she'd had a gofundme page of her own for the service she is doing to the community, complete with well documented solved cases.
Oooh & maybe she could do a verification for the actual cases so those people can get help they need.
i think the 17 people who disliked this are the 17 people she exposed
follow me on ig- xx.bruna 😂😂😂😂
paul austin not really. She’s doing a service so the people who ACTUALLY need it will get money. Can’t believe people fell for this. Who has cancer yet doesn’t know what kind 🤦🏻♀️ dead giveaway
Where did you get 17? Over 250 disliked this
Bruna Ferreira, i think you got this idea for your comment from the the person who posted virtually the same thing a month before you did. Since we're calling out fraudsters, I couldn't let you slide.

Thank you for your work. God bless you all ❣️
My dad lied about having cancer. Gambled my moms money and left us at age five and remarried and started a family in California. Didn’t visit often and then all of a sudden moves close to us once we turned 18. As soon as we got jobs, he started asking for money after his “cancer” diagnosis. Never lost any weight, and still had pores in his scalp after he shaved it. Later used my brothers social security number to open a credit card line to pay off his debts. Lol the guy owes $68,000 in child support😱
What a creep! It doesn’t surprise me when parents who ran off and came crawling back to look for sympathy. During 2011-2013 when, I had pancreatic cancer and, I was so yellowed all over! Including my eyes and foods that can’t hold down. Glad it’s over unfortunately, several months later, I turned into type 2 diabetes and on disability. And tell your loser daddy to get lost!
My daughter had a roommate who claimed she had cancer. She was actually hooked on opiates and was using this as a way to explain why she was always taking oxycontin. She stopped paying her share of the rent and utilities and borrowed money from all her friends. Finally my daughter had to contact the girl's parents and they paid off all the debts and brought her back home to rehab. Thankfully she didn't think to put up a GoFundMe page. The funny part of this came a few years later. I was going through chemo for cancer and my daughter asked why my hair had fallen out, since her friend's hair hadn't. She had so bought into her friend's story, she forgot that she had not really had cancer.
OMG this is literally me on Instagram... I could not relate more with her. It's absolutely despicable the amount of people who will do this and the lengths they will go and still deny everything. I'm so fed up.
I posted one of these for my dad who was actually sick with stage 4 cancer, pictures of him after surgery, chemo, with doctors, daily updates...I got zero dollars, now I have zero dollars left and no dad....
It was a low point even to have to ask others for help....and my biggest regret was doing it...shameful of me asking for other people to help....
He can't name the type of cancer he has, he just knows that it *begins with a C* 😂
"...a high VELOCITY of complaints"?!?
🤣🤣
😂😂😂I thought I was the only one that saw that
Came to the comments for this. Complaints comin' in at high speed, yo.
Yes, from auctioneers!!
I sincerely thank you for your hard work fighting against these incredibly disturbed people.
My Dad died of lung cancer and my sister is currently battling brain cancer. Cancer is not a disease that discriminates. So, it’s very easy, that cancer could turn around and impact some one in their family.
I sincerely thank you for doing all the private investigation on your own time. This family honestly disgusts me!!!.
You are a true medical hero. Many many prayers!!
