Anyone experienced old-school fake-accounts faking suicide attempts/deaths?

I’m interested in exploring and sharing experiences I had myself. People faking attempts or even deaths to emotionally or psychologically hurt people or get sympathy & attention.

My experience happened on MySpace and the person used multiple fake accounts to make it convincing.

I kinda got closure… except for the accounts being fake, so I guess the suicide stuff was too?

not online, but, in real life. an ex gf used to threaten it a bit for manipulation, that shit gets old quick, especially when it becomes repetitious. and yep, she is still alive, and still pulling the same old stunt on new and different people.
