Despite her cancer story being a complete fabrication, Riley had accepted roughly $100,000 in donations to cover her non-existent medical bills, given by followers sympathetic to her tragic tale of a young mother facing such a devastating illness. And those who were conned had not simply fallen for a sob story – Riley had written lengthy posts about her struggle and gone to great lengths to display evidence. The con-woman staged photos of herself in the hospital, and even shaved her head to make it appear as if she was undergoing chemotherapy.
