Cancer Schmancer

Melanie Chen, a Columbus Ohio woman, scammed her family and friends out of $800,000 over a 3 year period. This fine specimen of a human being claimed her husband had cancer and she needed money to pay for medical bills.

Awww, kind of warms your heart doesn't it? First people she told she needed money for her poor husband was his parents. So not only is she telling people she needs cash for medical expenses but she's letting this guy's parents think he's sick. Apparently he also let them think he was sick. Wow. That's commitment.

So what did our Lady of Mercy spend this cash on? "I spent it on things that didn't matter, just things." So it was worth it then, right Mel? Sweet!
