Woman Faked Brain Cancer to Scam Donors

from Roanoke News Today | 2 Min News | The Daily News Now!

A Pennsylvania woman, Vanessa ORourke, is still on the FBI’s wanted list after allegedly faking terminal brain cancer to bilk over 140 people out of nearly $12,000 via a GoFundMe page—money she reportedly used for personal expenses instead of experimental treatments in Australia. Charged with 15 counts of wire fraud in 2018, the case remains open as authorities hunt for her, highlighting how devastating deception can be when it exploits the most vulnerable.
