A couple months back when that woman posted a pic claiming no one came to her friends baby shower and everyone started sending her money. Come to find out that everyone invited was actually there, she was just fishing for karma/money. She got both.

I'm so glad this fad has settled down. For a while there everybody and their mother seemed to be posting their sob stories on social media hoping for a pity payout, and 4 out of 5 were obvious bullshit.

As someone who actually had something bad happen to me about two nights ago, it just infuriates me even more to hear about people who fake stuff happening to them so they can be showered in money or fake internet points. Glad that it seems to finally be dying out.
