Duping the public

We have those nasty people here in the US too. Shameful!

How could anyone do that to a child?? They deserve to be locked up. I hope they don't have any more access to their children at all. That sounds harsh, but people like them don't need to be around children.

I am sure glad that they got caught.

Unfortunately it happens everywhere. Recently I saw someone who faked cancer to her own family/friends/public to get holidays etc. I think they must have mental health issues or just be stupid as they get caught out in the end.

There have always been con artists which is sad. It does make me a lot less likely to want to help on those sites as I am always skeptical if it is legit or not.

Poor kid. I'm glad that they were caught.

That's sad. Another scam. I am glad they got caught and hope that the boy is okay and will be okay.

This is why I never donate to things like Gofundme. Nothing against those who really need it, but scammers can scam a lot of money out of people before or even if they get caught.

The little girl of my niece would love those unicorns. What a horrible thing to do to a child, I hope he was not too much traumatized.

Thats so bad...how could they do this and now on court trials.what a shame poor kids.

I have heard of people doing that here

@judyev I know a girl who we all strongly suspect to be faking MS. She gets no state help or support from disability agencies so there’s nothing illegal going on. She’s clever enough to know that she’d need medical proof to make a claim - she does it for attention. She can’t get out of her wheelchair but I’ve seen her cleaning the upstairs windows and I’m not the only one to see her walking around shops. The MS was miraculously cured when her mother who she lives with was hospitalised and it was strongly suggested by the hospital that carers be brought in to look after her. Then she relapsed when mother recovered!

That's terrible. There are always scammers out there. Have a good weekend.

poor kids... some people will do anything but try work... i don't know if you've seen this:

Charity is for those who cannot earn for themselves. My Will therefore has charity for 1. Animals 2. Acid attack victims 3. Rape victims (1 child is picked every 8 minutes) 4. Spastics 5. Blind with no chance of repairing eyes/ repair the eyes of blind and stop assistance 6. Mentally challenged 7. People with motor neuron diseases, cerebral palsy etc. 8. Orphaned children who have neither parents with foster parents appointed to check on the children twice each year. 9. Short term assistance to victims of riots, terrorism and calamities - five years 10. Short term assistance to families of martyrs from armed forces, police force, forest officers, etc. - 5 years. 11 Financial assistance to Non profit organizations fighting cases of acid attack victims or rape victims 12. Financial assistance for medical treatment in all above categories. So each category will get around 5000000 INR... which will be invested with proper trustees. LOL In addition to above, I am writing a sum equal to 10000000 for food donation to the poor...again invested with proper trustees. I agree that our hearts are moved by children with cancer and all that...but there is only so much we can do. People need to plan for their health and their family's health, their old age, their children, education of their children, etc. There are avoidable problems so I don't see why I should be dragged into it.

Will they get their money back?

That's shameful! I'm glad they're facing court charges.

Sometimes the greed motivation seems to overcome any scruples most people have

But isnt there any process of verification of the actual case?

Some people have the tendency to cheat other people.
