Nurse With Cancer Making Her Way Through Her Bucket List is Found Out to Be a Fraud

A nurse from North Georgia was charged with forgery and identity theft after playing havoc with people’s emotions and their bank accounts.

In 2016, 29-year-old Mary Bennett lied to people all over the northern part of the state by pretending that she was dying and in response, people donated their hard-earned money to help her tick items off her bucket list.

Foolish as she was, she was not expecting to get caught…

Her Plans For Her Bucket List

Mary Bennett spent years on social media broadcasting that she was sick in order to gain sympathy from the public. As many expressed their condolences, she realized that she could con people into doing nice things for her.

The licensed practical nurse disgracefully used the public’s kindness to enjoy years of free activities. Bennett told people that she was diagnosed with Stage IV ovarian cancer and that she wanted to live life to the fullest before she succumbed to her terminal illness.

As well as lying online, Bennett was also getting pretty good at acting and even recorded her head being shaved in preparation for her fake chemotherapy appointments. She later posted the video online, informing her followers that she was undergoing treatment.

The funds just kept pouring in as more people sympathized with the woman.

Bennett also posted pictures of her in a face mask, telling her followers that her immune system was becoming poorer and poorer. However, she fooled the public into thinking that her sickness would not stop her from living life to the max.
