Episode Details

Jenny Cataldo spun a long, emotional hoax by pretending she had terminal cancer, complete with shaved-head photos, fake medical stories, and tearful updates that pulled friends, coworkers, and strangers into her invented struggle. Over several years she accepted money, gifts, and donations from people who genuinely believed they were helping her survive, until inconsistencies in her claims triggered suspicion and investigators discovered there was no cancer diagnosis at all.
