Teenage prom queen arrested after pretending she had Leukaemia to raise $17,000

.

Good grief!......how many more low life's are going to try this sick scam?......have they no conscience ?

A prom queen who raised $17,000 after convincing her hometown she was dying of leukaemia has been arrested. 

Nineteen-year-old Angie Gomez, from west Texas, told concerned friends, family and even her fiancé she had just six months to live, and the community rallied around her with offers of support.

A police investigation led to the teen's arrest at her place of work on Friday, on a charge of theft-by-deception.

Her fake charity slogan was 'Behind every fighter there is a supporter. Will you be mine?'...Perhaps it should have been "alongside every REAL fighter there is a scammer...can I be yours?"

Saw the Queen today.....wonder if she saw me ? :-)

Whilst out with mini me today we found ourselves being flagged down by one of the boys in blue (or is that black and yellow ?), anyway, it was because the Queen, who had been at RAF Cranwell for Prince Harry's Passing out parade, was making her way back over to the other side of the station (the airfield side), and had decided to walk the last part of the journey,i suppose that it was to stretch her legs, and Prince Philip's, before they got back on the HS 146 and shot off to the next appointment (or home even).Anyway,we found ourselves about 50 feet away from HRH herself, and so i whipped out the Sony Mobile and got some video of the event.Andy thought it was great, but i convinced him that yelling "Alright Queen" was maybe not such a good idea....i didn't fancy spending a night in the tower with him to be honest :-)
