truth is stranger than fiction
mood:
shocked
Yesterday, a couple was arrested in Missouri for fraud. What is shocking about their case is how they chose to commit fraud. They claimed to have recently given birth to sextuplets in order to benefit from the generosity of others. They received a van, a washer and dryer, a large amount of money and gift cards, and a front-page story on the local paper. Their story fell apart when, well, no one could find the babies. You can read about them here. I just can't believe the depravity it takes to use a story of joy to take advantage of others. What have we come to?

That's so lame. But you know, those who give should check things out a little more before donating. These days we never know who we're giving to.

You're absolutely right, Sparrow. But what is crazy is that we even have to check things out. We can't trust anyone. It's a real shame.
