Hello Ladies and Gents,
I belong to several different forums for different subjects and have found out that there are people out there who play on our sympathies. I belong to a Child/pregnancy loss board and recently a woman claiming to lose her child to still birth started posting, had a very sad tale to tell. We all got behind her to offer our support and anything else we can do. Some of us (Just like here in SBM forums) become very close knit, we send cards and sometimes flowers to a funeral if we are able. We wanted to do it for this woman but someone found out that this woman was a complete fraud!( She posted a photo of another woman's baby she had found on the net!) She played on all of us for attention as if we still aren't greiving over our own losses! BUt from what I have learned, this happens quite often and it's happening quite alot lately on ALL different type forums,PPL claiming to be sick, or family members being sick the worst offenders are those that use our military personel and children. Just wanted to give ya'll a heads up....so if you are chatting with someone and something in their tale don't seem just right....it usually isn't! ( I STILL can't believe some people would do something like this....sick):( Please don't be offended by this I am in no way, shape or form talking about anyone on THIS board. I just thought, having been dupped myself I would let you all know it's happening!
