Wow. Just wow. :shock: :nono:

I've heard of these kinds of scams before but I can't believe how far this girl took it.

A hard lesson for a lot of people, particularly teenagers. Not only does it affect the people she scammed directly, but it hurts other causes that are legitimate. :nono:

People were setting up fake charities the day of 9/11, this hardly rates.

:lol: Some scams are worse than others? What makes them worse - if they scammed you, or if they scammed the largest sum of money?
