Okay, this is actually a serious question. Is it illegal to claim you have a blatantly fake illness and ask for money for it?
There's this woman from the UK who caught my eye in how peculiar she is. She is around 32 years old, but over the past 22 years, she has used multiple personas and identities to make her condition seem more legitimate. In her most recent incarnation she has pretended to be a 19 year old girl named Lindsey, when her first persona was named Heidi.
Her condition is so blatantly impossible no sane doctor would ever take her seriously (there is zero scientific evidence this disease exists at all) and biologists would bust a gut laughing at it. She often gets ''relapses'' or a ''thief'' breaks into her house and steals this spacesuit she has to wear so the family ask for 2,000 pounds worth of donations. Lately she says she's writing a ''long awaited'' book that no publisher in their right mind is going to publish.
She makes up personas similar to how a troll will make multiple sockpuppet accounts and then post the same argument to try and make it seem more credible. But she is very OCD when it comes to the exact details so I can instantly tell its her. Also the ''photos'' of her look like stock photos.
Her family has helped her do this as there are news articles about this woman from since she was 8 years old, with her parents telling the narrative for her. Her parents first and last names constantly change also.
I'm just wondering, is this illegal? I remember seeing the latest incarnation of her from last year, in the Daily Mail, but even the Daily Mail commentators (as dumb as they are) pointed out how ridiculous her claim was to the point the mods got triggered and had to shut down the comments for the article.
