Chick Fakes Cancer, Raises Over $100,000, Spends It All On Heroin

(NY Post) — Her grandmother was so heartbroken, she sold her home to give her $100,000 for chemotherapy. Her dad cleaned out his IRA to donate $25,000. Authorities yesterday laid out the alleged lies of a diabolical Long Island junkie who they said pretended to have bone, brain and other cancers to fool her family and strangers into sending her money for “treatment.” Brittany Ozarowski, 21, of Medford, spread her sob story on Facebook— and then collected a six-figure windfall to fuel her heroin habit, officials said yesterday. She was arrested Monday and slapped with a grand-larceny rap. Kindhearted donors became suspicious of Ozarowski’s story when she refused to accept rides to the doctor, and claimed that a new vitamin allowed her to keep her hair despite relentless chemotherapy sessions. They called cops, who surveilled Ozarowski for months, and arrested her in front of a Sayville supermarket while she passed out fliers.

What is so wrong about what this chick did? Scams shouldn’t be illegal. If she was faking medical tests and that kind of shit then maybe we arrest her for that. But she was telling lies on Facebook. That’s her crime. I lie on the internet all the time. Who doesn’t? If you’re dumb enough to fall for a scam then you lose. That’s it. It’s no crime, you’re just an idiot. Digital Darwinism. I’m surprised you even had any money left over to give to the heroin addict on chemo who still has hair because of a magical vitamin, but guess that string of Nigerian investments in the early 00’s really paid off.
