The Woman Who Faked Cancer To Scam Her Loved Ones | This Morning

Ойын-сауық

Amanda Riley is a wife. A mother. A blogger. And suffering from stage four cancer… at least that’s what she’d like you to believe. For almost a decade Amanda took thousands in donations from loved ones, neighbours, fellow churchgoers and her social media followers, but her cancer diagnosis was all a lie. Her huge financial and emotional scam was eventually uncovered by investigative journalist Nancy Moscatiello, who ultimately helped police put Amanda behind bars. And the story has now been heard around the world in Charlie Webster’s chart-topping podcast ‘Scamanda’. But why did Amanda do this? And how did she get away with it for so long? We’re joined live in the studio by Charlie, who has been speaking to Amanda while she remains in prison, and Nancy joins us DTL to talk about helping rumble this cancer-faking scam.

    @dedeescrafts2885 - Same here - mine is Stage 4 too. And as I seem to be doing well and living as normal a life as possible, I sometimes think people don't believe it and think I'm some sort of a fraud too! I'm not, I have good days and bad days like most people do but they don't see me when I'm not so good. Anyway, I'll have to listen to the podcast too. Wishing you well in your treatment plan.

    Nope they don’t. My great aunt died three days before thanksgiving last year due to colon cancer that spread everywhere including her lungs. There was nothing more that could be done and she was in hospice for about a week before she passed. Just lying about being extremely sick when they aren’t baffles my mind. Wonder if they actually get cancer in the future? They won’t get any help then.

Its a death sentence for so many people!! The adverse effects the treatments can have isnt something you would wish anyone to have to go through at all!!

This makes me sick to my stomach and feel so ashamed that there is people in the human race that does this. R.I.P to my family and to anyone who has had a loved one who had/has this dreadful disease.

They start off doing it with a plan or purpose and then they start believing their own lies and can’t stop lying (like a compulsion) all the time afterwards. I am not making any excuses for her and think she should have got an even harsher sentence! That is despicable behaviour.
