#220823, "Question about "faker"
OK, I don't get on often so please excuse if this subject has been covered. I just want to know if Mandie was a "faker", I can't begin to tell you all how I misread this one. Like others I have sent her money for her electric, water and a gift card for her children.
Was she also lying about her pregnancy, and how did we find this out?

Debbie, Did you get my email?
If you did than I can also email you the correspondences from Mandie as I talked to her a lot and sent her my kids old clothes and things on Friday.

Can I ask the point of all the PMing? I think just about everyone here wants to know the truth on this one. It is far from a secret that she was a fake. And if everyone is PMing everyone else it’s just a lot of extra work getting everyone the information that everyone is seeking. We know this lady has been perpetuating this con on other sites as well as this one. I would venture to guess that their are others that we do not know about. Wouldn't it be better to have a SERCHABLE 'paper trail' out there for others to find on a Google search as they notice holes in her story? Might same someone else the emotional betrayal and financial con that many here suffered. We are treating this like some dirty little secret and posts are being pulled by Jeff to 'not make a big issues of it' or whatever. But that is only causing 4 times the drama and questions. Let people talk openly, fill in the gaps for others, and fill in those that had provided emotional support but were not in a financial situation to help.
I fully agree that with a normal attention seeking faker ignoring them is the best course of action. But this was a full out con for financial gain, her post announcing her paypal account was a huge red flag. All I could see was "now you can give me more money". She got more and more greedy and I don't think she is going to stop, just take the show elsewhere. In this case free exchange of information is the only way to stop this type of con. And knowing the warning signs might make people more comfortable opening their hearts and sending gifts in the future.
