You’ve really got to be a sociopath (zero conscience) to do something like that. Seems there are many more of those these days.

She was finally found out when she got pregnant and earlier had told people she had lost her reproductive organs. Low IQ as well as being a sociopath.

I hope the money taken from her is given to real patients if the donors can’t be traced...

As far as you know......

I don’t think we’ve scratched the surface as far as serial killers go.

The doctors must have lied to her about taking out her reproductive organs. Adding fake surgery to fake cancer.

This is not uncommon; I’ve heard similar stories more than once.

At a large corporation I once was employed at, there was a female employee who had a daughter who had juvenile diabetes. Every time she wanted to redecorate her home or update her wardrobe, she dragged out the child’s illness. It worked like a charm. A hat was passed for her and she would come in with very expensive new clothing. I’ve observed that those who can least afford to donate to others due to having their own financial woes are the individuals who give the most to these scammers.
