Pennsylvania woman charged after faking cancer to raise thousands of dollars in crowdfunding campaigns, authorities say.
A Pennsylvania woman has been arrested for allegedly faking cancer to raise thousands of dollars in crowdfunding campaigns and falsifying medical documents, according to authorities.
The Facebook fundraiser, titled"#FightLikeAJessica," stated that she had recently been treated for colon cancer and required"extensive medical treatment and travel expenses plus unpaid time off work." Authorities were notified of the fundraisers after her husband, Robert Smith, and an acquaintance reported the campaigns to the Uwchlan Township Police Department on June 19.
Robert Smith also recalled a recent telephone conversation he overheard in which his wife was allegedly claiming to be a nurse from"Penn Medicine" while speaking to a representative for her employer, Marco Protection Systems. Smith alleged that during the call, his wife stated that she was"very ill from a medical condition" and needed days off because she was"presently very ill from her cancer treatments.
When the detective called Saroha, he confirmed that Jessica Smith was a patient but said she was not suffering from any condition she was claiming, adding that he was"obviously aware" of the claims she was making, the complaint states.
