Mother Admits Faking Cancer to Defraud Donors of Over $20,000
A Nevada woman pleaded guilty after confessing she fabricated a pancreatic cancer diagnosis to solicit more than $20,000 through fake fundraising pages. Between June 2023 and April 2024, she set up multiple GoFundMe accounts and posed under different identities to target friends and well-wishers, including a breast cancer survivor. Court records reveal she used the donations to pay personal bills and support her children. She agreed to pay nearly $19,800 in restitution and may see her felony reduced to a misdemeanor if she meets probation requirements. Her sentencing is scheduled for June 24.
