Does This Look Like The Face Of A Long Island Girl Who Faked Having Cancer In Order To Get Donations To Pay For Heroin?
CBS – The arraignment of a Long Island woman on fraud and other charges for allegedly faking a cancer diagnosis to support her heroin addiction was adjourned Wednesday until Thursday. Brittany Ozarowski, 21, claimed to have ovarian, stomach, bone and brain cancer and solicited tens of thousands of dollars from people for more than a year to help pay for medical expenses, Suffolk County District Attorney Thomas Spota said. But Spota said it was nothing more than just “a despicable scam.” “There was no cancer, no chemotherapy, no radiation and no medical bills,” Spota said. “There was just heroin.” Under the heading “Help Save My Life,” prosecutors said she posted pictures of herself sitting in a wheelchair on a website saying she had “few options left.” On Ozarowski’s website, it says: “In September of 2011, I was diagnosed with stage two ovarian cancer as well as stomach cancer.” It then goes on to say: ”I was cancer free until they had found a tumor on my left hip in February 2012. That is when I found out that I have bone cancer. The cancer has spread to my spine as well as my brain.” Ozarowski claimed treatments cost her $33,000 a day, Spota said. “The truth is she is a 21-year-old drug addict with four open narcotics cases and we have strong evidence she forged doctors’ notes to avoid court appearances,” Spota said. One of her alleged victims, Thomas O’Grady, said he held a fundraiser for Ozarowski. O’Grady owns Tuscany Gourmet Market in Miller Place. “I lost $5,000 of my own.” Another business owner, Elizabeth Patricola, said Ozarowski was very convincing. Patricola runs Paws N Claws in Miller Place and held a fundraiser for Ozarowski. “The first day I gave her $100,” she said. “Extremely believable — she was tiny and frail looking.” “I wanted to help her so much. She was very believable,” Patricola, a cancer survivor herself, told McLogan. Spota said the young drug addict lived in her grandmother’s Selden home, but even conned the elderly woman into selling it to pay for bogus cancer treatments. Denise Bambola lives next door to the house where Ozarowski grew up with her grandmother. She said she too was duped and donated $10,000 to help the family.
I’m not gonna sit here and defend this chick. She deserves to die of gonorrhea and rot in hell. Scamming people with cancer to pay for you heroin is about as low as a scumbag can go. But this is whats wrong with the world today. If you ask for money you get it. Put out a few buckets asking for money and you get it. Throw out some sob story and get 10 grand from the old lady next door. Meanwhile nobody realizes that the chick coming to collect the money is a junkie tweaker. Nobody in town knows she’s a junkie fuck? Everyone always knows the local scumbags. Has a full head of hair because of some special vitamins? Get the fuck out of town. We’re getting played by reject drug addicts because thats how easy it is now. I’m obviously throwing your change in a jar is no big deal but these people throwing out 10 grand on a whim is bananas.
The shame of it all is that there are some real life kids out there suffering with a jar asking for donations thats now gonna get passed over because this skank needed her heroin fix. I’d love to lock her in a room with the mother of a daughter who’s actually suffering from real cancer and let her beat the shit out of this trashbag.
