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?"
