Woman lies about having cancer, takes donated funds
A Toronto woman who told friends that she had terminal cancer and then set up a fake charity has been exposed as a fake, according to the Toronto Sun.
Ashley Kirilow is now missing with the thousans of dollars that people thought was going to cancer research through Change for a Cure.
On Facebook, the very venue that the woman used to scam people, there now a facebook page DEMANDING ASHLEY KIRILOW BE HELD FULLY ACCOUTABLE AND ARRESTED! It’s got 249 members and they all seem pretty disgusted that someone would prey on others, particularly those who have lost loved ones.
So, think it’s easier now in the age of social media to scam people? Will people always fall for a sad story? Does this make you less likely to give to a charity?
