SCAMANDA: Behind-the-scenes of the cancer con mom 

I feel so badly for your friend, and yet, I also admire her based on what you've shared with us about her. I sincerely wish her the best health yet, and for you as well! You sound like such a kind and understanding person to have such concern for this friend of your daughter's.

Healthcare SHOULD pay for ALL of our healthcare, no? Well, it doesn’t and folks AND THEIR FAMILIES often lose EVERYTHING to pay uncovered medical costs and/or treatment and drugs😡

Thoughts and prayers to your friend and her baby. So glad things are going well.

​@@marylizakowski706 yes Medical Care for all should pay for this!

Thank god your comment was the first comment I saw after hearing this interview. These women should be jailed their damn selves but most of all they need to get fckn lives and stay out of other people’s lives. These 2 women are horrible and a huge part of what is wrong with the world today. WOW.

I'm sorry that you are going thru this cancer journey. I agree I was diagnosed with caner on my June 3rd

@@tinawaggoner1031 take it one day at a time. You got this!!!

I feel so bad for everyone Amanda came in contact with🙏

Right, and it’s not just $$ either!

@@MKConnecticut -- The betrayal alone is enough to make this woman a monster.

Yes! You’ve got the “trust factor” covered already, Nate. YOU could easily pull off a “Scamanda” yourself😉😅lol

I couldn’t agree more!

And make it available in podcast form too !!!

That's weird , why outside she wouldn't allow you to come inside ? I can't imagine anyone faking Cancer or anything else .

@bobbicatt I know! I remember it was really hot and we just sat outside her car. I didn't feel like I could say anything bc her mom would be hysterical, then made us cry. My mom even took both girls home with us often, bc her mom was "going through a lot". There's so much more she lied about. The port, all the things. Just recently I found out it wasn't all true and I felt that at a point as a teen. She even went as far saying at a benefit, John Michael mcgommery met her and they were having an affair. I was like alright... this is weird. Said she met all these celebrities.

Curious, do you know now what she was doing in the hospital while you were all waiting? So bizarre.

@@BobbiGail I wish I knew more. I hadn't talked to her in a while and kinda just froze, watched what I said for whatever reason.

You need to listen to the podcast

Congratulations on beating the odds - you're a survivor!! :)

Congratulations from another cancer survivor. 💞

I am a 75 yr. old, 13 year cancer survivor, and was fortunate enough to have excellent medical coverage through my husband’s employer at the time of my diagnosis and treatment. Here is my takeaway on the subject of this scam. If the United States had a health care system wherein patients didn’t need to plead for money for their treatments and medications, this type of scam would not exist. It is very touching to consider the good people who provided actual money to this scam artists. And heartbreaking to hear about genuine cancer patients who desperately need help with their medical cost. Of course, people with kind hearts wanted to help a young mother in a serious health crisis. But it is, sadly, a case of “buyer beware;” because if you fall for the scam and give financial support, you are literally, unknowingly, buying into the scam. I do hope there was a condition of her sentence requiring her AND her husband, to make reparations of some sort. A much better way to support cancer patients is to leave a gift in your Family Trust/Will to a reputable not-for-profit organization that is noted for doing research and/or providing services to patients in need. My husband and I have both lost young family members to leukemia, and my dear mother died from lymphoma and colon cancer. My husband and I are far from wealthy, but we have named the Leukemia and Lymphoma Society in our estate planning. The other way for all of us to help patients in any kind of health crisis, including ourselves and our own loved ones, is to stop voting into political office those who will not represent their constituents in the matter as crucial as health care costs. A significant percentage of bankruptcies filed in the U.S. are because of outrageous medical bills. Our so-called “health care system” should be the number one concern of those representing us in DC. Find out who of our representatives have their hands dripping with dirty money from the medical insurance lobbyists, then vote them out!

Yes, indeed! So happy to hear you beat it

Hope you get what you need & should get. Pray for better health now & in the future for you. Thank you for helping people in 9-11, blessings to you. 🙏❤️

We SHOULD get all medical bills (including those for mental healthcare) PAID IN FULL. That said, 22 YEARS????? I’m so sorry, especially as you’re a first-responder 💔

Thank you so much for what you did for this country. You are a hero. I am so sorry you have paid such a high cost personally.

@@julieosmondson5180 Thanks I wouldn't say I was a hero , I didn't save anyone. Basically I treated other peoples injuries . We were told on Sept 13th way before the public it was no longer a search and rescue it was recovery . I walked by thousands of people each day by Chelsea pier handing me pictures of their missing loved ones . That's not a hero . When I knew the truth but kept my mouth shut . But I appreciate your words ❤️

Exactly who I was thinking of- a “diet” cure works, especially if you’re not sick to begin with🤦🏼‍♀️

Lmao. Did you not hear about him lying about his income to avoid paying more support? He's cut from the same cloth. Or at 45:45 when he lies about attending all of her treatments. He was in on it! Even the investigator believes he knew.

The hubby was in on it

lol. That works too

I brought food to this family, and I found it strange when I gave the food to the husband I sensed guilt. At the time I assumed he felt bad having me spend my time and money on a meal he could have taken care. But after she was found to be a fraud, I understood what his guilt was about. I was also in the church service putting cash on the stage 😮

Or just a ducking liar

Right- its definitely about more than money

I listened to it but the hospital “props”? Amazing

If you can get a podcast app - then listen it’s called scamanda

It’s from lions gate

Awful story

Belle Gibson. Even her brother thinks she should be in jail for a good long time.

@@100th_monkey yes! That’s the one I meant 🙄

He was in on it, in the opinion of the investigator - he also faked several years' of pay stubs to get out of paying child support.

Yeah....that is ruining the hype in a world of billionaires.

@@ZSC92 i’m not sure what you mean but if you want to hear some good stories of Interesting scammers, I suggest Matthew‘ Cox’s s channel. An ex felon..

Only?

@@Katiegirlluv yes only after all that work and effort she only got 25,000 a year for it

Yes, not a real port. Wonder why medical people weren't saying anything.
