Meet Miriam Defensor-Santiago. She’s a senator from the Philippines who was diagnosed with Stage 4 lung cancer in 2014.
‘Now, meet “Rose Miller.” LOL, real original there, “Rose.”
Rose Miller huh? Gee, that name sounds so familiar. I wonder where I’ve heard it before…
Rose Miller — or whatever the hell his or her name is — was really enthusiastic about sharing this campaign on Facebook. And by enthusiastic, we mean it was the only thing on his or her very new page.
The GoFundMe campaign with a $22k goal reads:
My Daughter Ann has been in a Coma For a Period of time . due to Really bad reoccurring Seizures She is 32 Years old With 2 beautiful daughters to Whom She is a Single Parent to. Kimberly (4) and Lilly (6) it has been So Overwhelming for Me and Our family With all the Medical bills And The Needs of the Children I Just haven’t been Able to do on My Own own I have So Much faith And hope I’m God that he Will Soon heal My daughter . I thank the doctor’s Who Been doing their best With her . i Will keep You Guys Posted on My daughter’s Progress as Much as Possible .
Oh that’s terrible, just terrible. Except the photo used in the campaign was very easily discovered by reverse image search to be that of Senator Miriam Defensor Santiago. Oops.
And again:
Hahaha, you twit.
Within minutes of posting the phony campaign on our Facebook page, it disappeared from GoFundMe. Here’s an archived copy for posterity.
Doing a bang-up job keeping your platform safe as always, GoFundMe. I’m serious about sending you an invoice for the work I do tracking this shit down… I think 7.9% of the goal amount is fair no?
