How to report a phony/fake person pretending to be a woman?

How do you report a "woman" that is a fake, has been pretending for years to be a woman and is posting all kinds of things, especially lies about a dead person?

my daughter passed away 1-2 months ago, and i was closing out her accounts. This "woman" contacted me and said she and my daughter, Cassandra, had been friends for years.

This woman claimed to have met my daughter in person, hugged her, and was her best friend.

well, i have been reading my daughter's diary and emails, and she NEVER met this woman in person, said she asked many times to meet, even asked for pictures, but the woman was evasive, said her "family is very well known and it is not safe for her to share her pictures".

My daughter, and many people on this social media site and others, have questioned this person's claims to be female. My daughter "played along" with her for years, mostly because she was a loner and had a Friend to talk to.

Anyway, my husband works for the US Government, and is investigating Who this woman claims to be, using Lexus-Nexus, etc.

The woman accosted me on here via email, kept lying she had met my daughter in person, hugged her, etc. Then when i did not respond other than to tell her she is a fake and i am having my husband investigate her, she BLOCKED me on this site.


So, i am not a mean or vindictive person, but when some person tries to make claims about my daughter, and my daughter had suspicions about this person, i take it personal as an attack.

and so you are aware, my daughter was scammed by a man pretending to be a woman, from 16yo to 22yo.. my daughter was a troubled child living in foster care a large part of her life.


**Laurieluvsit, says her name is Laurie Hunter.

She has shown me she is a phony/fake and catfishing (that is the right term?), and i feel she preys on people, gaining their trust and unknowingly, getting people to share their lives.


If this post is not allowed, sorry, but i am a grieving mother that had the Wound of my Daughter's death reopened, and ripped apart by this woman's claims.

Let's summarize...

1. Your daughter (who was discreet) apparently shared YOUR contact information with the person she was exchanging messages with out of loneliness while knowing she wasn't on the up-and-up.

2. Your husband works for the USA government, has the capability, know-how, and "tools" to investigate an anonymous poster AND you are coming here to ask random strangers what you should do to stop this man-woman in his-her tracks.

3. This man-woman claims to have hugged your daughter and that is what he-she has told you by way of introduction to get you to believe he-she has known your daughter for years while becoming her "best friend."

4. By reading through your deceased daughter's diaries and emails, you have discovered your daughter never actually met this man-woman or had any involved interaction with her (after all, your daughter only "played along"), BUT this man-woman has somehow scammed your daughter and is now "accosting" you via email.

5. Your concern is that by "catfishing" (if that's the "right term"), this man-woman is getting lonely people to share their lives and you want to put a stop to it while your "husband" is continuing to investigate him-her using the resources of the USA government.

6. Since the man-woman contacted you by email to advise you he-she was best friends with your deceased daughter that you know is not true by reading your daughter's diaries and emails, the wound of your dear daughter's death has now been reopened and ripped open after 1 or 2 months (you are not sure which) since her death. In other words, you had recovered from your daughter's death after 1 month... or it could have been 2 months (you're not sure), but now her death is all fresh again because this man-woman contacted you by email presumably after your daughter provided YOUR email address to him-her.

7. You are not a vindictive person, but this (THIS) you cannot and will not let stand, so you are coming here to make this known while your husband is investigating this using the USA government resources.

It's horrible when people lie about people passing away.

It's horrible when loved ones pass away.

I was lied to that my Dad passed away and I feel as though my Dad knows im being lied to. I am mentally affected as to why my family would make up such a lie.

Condolences.
this is disturbing.I understand many online ppl are fake and it should stop there ,not percolate in real life.
But having read your story what possible objective /objectives might she/he have in her mind especially when your daughter is no more ?

You reported it to the police? Other than that maybe report it to site admin. Ive had something like that happen. I had a brain tumor. Honestly there doesnt seem to be much anyone can do about this kinda thing. Goodluck.
You either ditectly ask a moderator to ban them, or continue the investigation. My usual methods won't work as they aren't obviously catfishing in a provable way, just posting random porn in their profile.

If you come accross a actual pic of them, I have tools that might be able to geolocate them.

I am sorry for your loss.
I appreciate you calling out evil fearlessly, while dealing with your grief. Don't spend too long on this site, but aim to close down this account eventually. This place isn't for a memorial for anyone with all the wack jobs that prowl around here.

I never heard of this Cassandra. Kind of odd that u got on her profile and made this post.
@smileylovesgaming im here mom.. closing out all her social media accounts.
You're not the first person to try pulling this scam - the least you can do is try and be original.

@HootyTheNightOwl what would the scam be about? What would they gain from this post?
@GuyWithOpinions It's not always about what you "gain" from an illness. It'd be great if we could wrap them up and put a pretty bow on them... Maybe that knowledge would allow us to predict and prevent Beverly Allitt style attacks before they started???

In this case, I'd say sympathy would be a driving factor.

It's kind of sus that this person is the "parent of a deceased member" as claimed in the post - yet they spent long enough randomly clicking around the profile to figure out how to change the "About Me".

That took me some time and advice before I knew how to do it for the first time.

Also the "daughter" only had one post and was a loner - so how many "loose ends" could there be to tie off???

Lastly... If the husband was a part of the FBI, and investigating a possible crime - wouldn't it make sense to keep your mouth shut about it until the investigation is completed and arrests have been made??? Now the suspect and half of the site knows and they could be taking action to cover their tracks and disappear.

How can anyone read this post and say "Sure, this seems perfectly genuine and plausible"???
@HootyTheNightOwl i am Cassandra's mom.. i am using her acct to wrap it, FB, instagram, whatsup, Girls Ask Guys, etc. so anyone she was friends with knows she passed away.. she died 2months ago.. okay?

My daughter did not post much publicly. she was emailing several people on here private she felt were her friends.

This Laurie person responded when i sent out messages to all the people my daughter was emailing. Laurie responded and wanted to be my friend, etc... she was also all over Girls Ask Guys and posting all kinds of things about my daughter. i believed her sincerity until she said she met my daughter in person, hugged her, and they were then closer friends.

The person that scammed my daughter when she was 16 -23 yo, was a different person, a man.. Charles Iaccarino, a registered sex offender in Florida, Pennsylvania, and other states. He pretended to be 2-3 women that all knew each other, and got a sick thrill from my daughter telling all about her abuse and horrors being in Foster Care.


While i appreciate your feedback, please do not make assumptions about my child.

AND my husband told me to post on here. He said if Laurie is a fake, he will find nothing online in background checks.. and so far, nothing has come up. So "she" is a fake, as there is no such person in Lexus-Nexus or other government databases he did research in.


thank you for being kind and understanding.

Tatiana, Cassandra's adopted mom.
