My friend - a scrupulously honest window-cleaner who maintains his family on minimum wage - learned his daughter had cystic fibrosis. Major British football teams donated signed shirts and footballs to be raffled to raise the $180,000 required for the young lady's operation. Our local community also donated generously. The surgery went ahead and all concerned felt deep pride in having helped raise the requisite cost. My friend couldn't possibly have raised this astronomical sum without the generous help of benefactors. Please don't allow one isolated example of sickening fraud and dishonesty to dissuade you from donating generously to worthy causes. You will feel elating pride in having helped to save someone's life. That is not, of course, to say you shouldn't carry out due diligence.
My family has lost so many members through cancer. And it sickness me . I had a freind of my partner claim that he had cancer can remember him claiming that he,d just come from finding out at hospital to ours cus welive next to hospital and him sobbing on my arms . I let him move into my house for a year and a half for free as long as he paid utititys. A year and a half later and many warning signs he was lying I receive house key through the post and not even a thank you note . Turned out it was all bullshit he never put electric or gas on once in all this time meaning I am having to clear debuts of nearly £2000 standing charge and council tax that he also didn't pay for that period. He even got a well paid job towards the end. He even gave my cooker to next door neighbour for free. All those wasted nights that I sat there holding his hand and crying with him thinking he was dying. Running round after him cus "don't get up mate you rest you ve got to better" drove my relationship to brink cus he was my fellas mate I had only met him once before that . I wouldn't usually put anybody up but how can you throw a man in his late 50s onto the street with cancer treatments to complete in the middle of winter is what I thought even when I had warning signs he's since done it to another 2 people in our local area. Made me even more distrusting of people than I allready was. He knew I had watched my nanna die like that. He's still lying about it to this day 5 years later . And think he will until the day he dies
@@vickythefist7062 I know that being con-ed is very agitating, but know in your heart you did what you did out of the goodness of your heart. Dont carry this anger in your heart. Let it go, it’s done, you will feel a lot better, and you have gained a valuable lesson, but also don’t close your giving heart just because someone took advantage of you.
What's the worst about this is someone else who does have cancer that needs help financially the people who donated will think twice about it and that's just so sad!!!
Like the current government, he just keeps getting found out ! But with some help he could succeed next time. Con man BJo has done very well up to now perhaps he could coach Mr. Bint on how to do it !!
As a 10 year cancer survivor, this story makes me sick. My children were 4 and 9 when I was diagnosed. I waited 1 month to tell my mother as I simply wasn’t strong enough to pick up the phone to tell her at first. Cancer is a destructive disease that has impacted many people and their loved ones. This man is disgusting. Absolutely disgusting!
He now is a murder; Cold-hearted killer gets life-sentence CON man Glenn Rycroft has been jailed for life for murdering his gay lover by battering him to death with a fire extinguisher. The 33-year-old, who conned friends and family out of more than £200,000 and later faked a brain tumour, was told by the court he must serve at least 25 years in prison.
Happy that you are doing well 😊 I have loved ones who have died of Cancer, including my Mom. This guy was smacking Karma in the face. What a selfish Narcissist!!! Stay well 😊💗
The story really makes you want to throw up. It's that deplorable. The fact the victims don't get their money, their life savings, because of his lavish lifestyle and cancer scam, is beyond ridiculous.
My cousin did this. She told us she had cancer of the spine. She didn't actually ask anyone for money, though many of us lavished gifts and treats on her. For her I think it was more about seeking attention. Having us all run around after her and the loving gestures we made. She needed them in some very essential way. But I'll never forget the slow dawning realisation that she was lying to us. It was was devastating. We had mourned so genuinely the thought of losing her at such a young age. I do forgive her and mostly just feel very sad that she was so desperate to feel loved she sank to such depths. However many of the family have never been able to move past it and it has changed the nature of her relationship with all of us. I often think how awful it will be if she ever does contract a serious disease - because no one will believe her.
My brother did the same to me. He told me when he was 20 that he had stage 4 lung cancer. I was convinced it was terminal. I grieved for him. Then it all came out that he made it up for attention. I was absolutely heartbroken all over again. I have also forgiven him and we are close again. But I'd be wary next time he gets some sort of serious diagnosis.
@@christinawells2024 I would never even begin to understand the thinking of such people! I had surgery, 33 rads & 7 cisplatin for oral cancer last year. My chemo nurses were awesome. Absolute Angels. I'm recovering slowly, but surely! Thank you so much for asking.❤️

My oldest brother lied about having cancer, had so many twitches and glitches through his kid years. Ended up a drug user, and took advantage of so many people. He’s a bad liar but when family says they have cancer and need treatment family and others provide unknowingly.
The part when the women explained having to tell your mom about you having cancer got me... I always tell people, finding out that I had cancer was tough, but telling my mom was the hardest part! Especially at 25 years old. So for someone to tell a lie like that is just unimaginable!
Telling my mom and children that I had cancer was the hardest I ever had to do. People like him are despicable and don't care the pain and misery they cause.
@@missfluffydiva2120 so hard! I can't even imagine a mom telling their children... I know my mom couldn't believe it, and my friend at the time, who later became my husband couldn't either
@@BeTheLight242 I am not normally a sickly person and the diagnosis came after a routine screening, it was already spreading and I had no symptoms at all. I told my mom a couple of days before my surgery and she lives 6, 000 miles away it was so difficult telling her over the phone. My children were so shocked and couldn't believe it and my best friend cried her heart out. That is why it makes me so angry when people like this specimen make a mockery of this illness because they have absolutely no idea how devastating it is not only to the person who has it, but family and friends too. I hope you are well.
As Judge Judy always says: you don't need good memory if you tell the truth!! Totally believe that. That is why all these conmen do such extensive research, they need to sound like they know what they are talking about and to keep it all straight in their warped minds!!
I have a lot of medical problems that I hide out of embarrassment and shame. It's sad people are this comfortable fabricating such serious illnesses that people die from, just for a few bucks. 🙁
Me too mate, I doubt anyone can fake the medical condition My Family and I have (marfan's syndrome) it's very evident. My Brother was approached at a wedding last week and asked by this horrible woman "what's wrong with You, You don't look normal" he was mortified and I want to hunt her down and throttle her!
THAT'S EXACTLY WHAT I THOUGHT, 10 YRS MINIMUM! HE DIDN'T EVEN DO THE STANDARD ⅔, HE WAS OUT IN 2 SO HE MUST'VE GOTTEN HIS PAROLE, WHICH IN ITSELF IS JUST ANOTHER JOKE. HE DEFINITELY PULLED THE WOOL OVER THE PAROLE BOARDS EYES. YOU WOULD THINK THEY'D KNOW BETTER CONSIDERING HIS 25 CONVICTIONS. IN MY OPINION, THE JUSTICE SYSTEM SHOULD START MAKING THEM SERVE THE WHOLE TERM IF THEY HAVE A SENTENCE OF 5 YRS OR LESS. ESPECIALLY FOR CERTAIN CRIMES WHERE THE FINANCIAL BURDEN REACHES A CERTAIN AMOUNT & HIS DEFINITELY DID!
Never mind, he killed his boyfriend and in 2009 got a 25 year full life term. Meaning he will serve the full 25 years before he can even apply for parole in 2034. With no guarantee that he will get it
As most of the females in my family suffer from cancer, some live and lots have died, I find this person appalling and it has to be one of the worst lies someone can speak 😢😢
@@gittenielsen95 Thanks so much, 2yrs ago lost my mom, 4th time she got cancer was of liver and at 78 she decided that was enough, I have been cancer free for 24yrs now and pray myself and granddaughter stay well ✌and ❤from Ontario Canada
Most people get cancer. Or sepsis. Or heart failure. Or a stroke. It’s sad but it’s perfectly normal to get sick sooner or later. Everybody dies of something or other. There’s nothing special about cancer.
@@Maz-zb9uf most narcs and people with personality disorders often do. My friends ex said he had a quarter size hole in his heart and another time it was a brain tumor. They get desperate to keep the ones they hate. Makes no sense
@@Liitebulb yes. Divorce is currently in motion. His latest bs is he gave a fake number to a pastor to do court ordered supervised audio visual visits. Of course the pastor couldn't get a hold of me so this tard called my pastor and told him I wasn't following the parenting plan. Setting me up is more important to him then seeing his children. But he always said he would have nothing to do with his kids as long as I am in the picture. The truth always comes out. The pastor ended up agreeing we should go through a professional and said he would send the phone back sent to him. Let's not forget while he is making false accusations against me he is the one not following the court orders. He owes almost 11 grand in child support. I have a restraining order against him for stalking and harassment and calling my landlord to try and get us thrown out(he's been somewhat successful in the past) while making claims I cause our children to be homeless because of mental illness. Then, in the past, he would call cps and claim I'm neglecting the children because of homelessness. It's never worked. None of his lies have ever worked out for him the way he hopes it would
Imagine the empty shell of a person like him... He is such a nobody that he can't even have a stable relationship with someone else because there is no one there.
My Mum has terminal cancer and my Nan has sadly passed away from pancreatic cancer what makes me angry is that anyone like my family members who have cancer who need legitimate financial help when they ask for the help anyone who has donated or charities will be more wary and less inclined to help which I find its just a hit to the system
Glenn went on to be released, met his next victim, Gareth, by starting a relationship with him and then conning his Gareth’s parents out of thousands. Glen eventually bludgeoned Gareth to death on a hotel room. He’s repugnant 🤮
You know what's going to happen to individuals who pull this fraudulent "cancer" card! Check back with them in a few years and I'm sure karma may make sure it happens.
Oh, I wholeheartedly believe KARMA will come full circle, bite him in the ass when he least expects it and guess what???? Like the boy who cried, "Wolf", NOBODY'S GONNA BELIEVE HIM.
I don't get a lot of things, but this just...blows my mind. Why would one do this??!!!!!! As a multisick painchronic myself this feels like a slap in the face. For real! 😣🇫🇮
Attention... money... Munchausen is an insane illness... idk if he had it but most ppl who lie about cancer do it for attention, money, sympathy etc. They get off on ppl making a fuss over them
This should come as no surprise to his family and friends. Someone who lies to get through the day, is known to everyone in his inner circle. Again, i say
This should not come as a big surprise. People always say " he'll outgrow it", however when these liars get away with something they'll definitely do it AGAIN! Parents: Nip this in the bud. Address the lying at once!! How? It all depends on how the parents discipline their kids at home. My son is a CHRONIC LIAR. He never outgrew it. The parents are completely responsible for letting this continue.
@@robertafierro5592 so you're saying you're at fault for your son's lying habits? A parent's job is to teach them right from wrong but whether the child actually follows those teachings is solely up to the child.
My uncle died a few years ago from having a brain tumour. It disgusts me that people like this individual lied about that he had it and that people easily did fall for it. Its horrible as there are people dying each day from a cancer of some sort and to lie about it is worse than the actual disease. I am so glad they caught up to his lying. My mom always said .. "You can lock up from a thief but not from a liar!" She was so right and very wise. What would he do if he did get cancer? No one would help him as they were the victims of his lies and so may not believe him or feel sorry for him for reals.
Unreal!!! I can't believe some people, I live in a small town where a woman here pretended to have breast cancer but she said her doctor wanted to wait until she got home from a two month vacation from Newfoundland to Nova Scotia. I knew she was lying because no doctor would want the cancer to spread! Needless to say she never got a cent out of me and it just disgusted me! I myself had cervical cancer cells and had to have them lasered off two days later after finding out! I never told anyone about that though because it's a private issue and I didn't want attention. This man is sick in the head and terrible!
I had a relative fake cancer twice. She didn’t ask or get any money that I know of - they did it for attention. I found that out as I would ask very simple questions about basic treatment and she would give these made up answers - I don’t even think she knew what chemo was. She said she got surgery and it went away. I noticed that she was partying like 2 days after her surgery, moving with no pain - drinking and smoking. I don’t talk to her anymore, my mom supported her and I don’t really talk to my mom anymore because of this silliness.
I saw someone doing this once. It was a few years ago, he'd tell everyone he had terminal cancer, but he wasn't even slightly sick. He just enjoyed telling people and watching some crying around him. 🤬 He's still walking around today, as healthy as ever
Yea same. Narcissistic aholes. Especially seeing my dad waste away in a month with stage 4 liver cancer it makes my blood boil even more. If I saw him at a pub or something I think I couldn't fight the urge to smash his teeth unfortunately. My friends would probably stop me but it would be really hard.
I had skin cancer (melanoma) back in 2007. I was very, very lucky and it was caught early. But I’ll never forget the shock and fear I felt when told. It was horrific for me and my family not knowing what the future held. Also, my father passed away in 1980 from cancer. It was a dreadful time for us. I wouldn’t wish either of these scenarios on my worst enemy. This creature is utterly despicable and vile. I hope he’s suffering in prison.
I'm only 22 mins in the video and this man has my stomach sick, to see what he have done to Family, Friends and People that trusted him.. Oh My! Rycroft is a very Lying Sick Talking Smooth Talking Devil 😈. Don't worry he may end up with cancer. What a Dangerous man to deal with! There are some people out there like Rycroft, it's about self and would not care who they hurt, just to get what they want and to live a Lavish Lifestyle, It's just sick of him.
I dont know why i've always thought this. but i was so sure this real crime channel were just a channel reuploading from a tv series. This channel is one of the best ones out there. great work!
It's a TV show, I watched it with my mom in the early 2000s until I moved out at 18 in around 2010. This show was running with new episodes that entire time.
Red flag: Hospitals typically ask that you have someone drive you home after most stays or procedure, in case you are fatigued, have lingering medication side effects, and don’t want the liability if you have an accident, and usually staff escort the person outside for pick-up. Plus, hospital discharge often doesn’t mean that the person is “all better,” just that they don’t need 24/7 hospital level care at the moment. It is not impossible, but very odd to never need anyone to pick you up at the hospital and to always drive yourself or Uber wile receiving cancer care, or if the person asks to be picked up and is just waiting alone out front.
I have the utmost contempt for this man and think he is lower than an earthworm, because I used to have cancer. I don't say cancer is in remission because that implies the cancer is just lurking around waiting to pounce again, so I say I USED to have cancer. That was about 8 years ago but I remember all too well how scared I was when my doctor called me and told me the test he had given me was positive for cancer. I had breast cancer and I suffered through surgery where they removed part of my breast and hopefully ALL of the cancer and then I spent months going thru Chemo and then Radiation Therapy. I believe the cancer is behind me now but I still have the nasty scar where the cancer was removed and I still have bald spots where my hair will never grow back after I lost most of it to Chemo. I also live in constant fear that the cancer will come back. I think you will understand then when I say I hold this guy in nothing but contempt for pretending to have cancer. I also have a great deal of empathy for those who were swindled out of their life savings by this conman. But if someone tells you that you will make a 20% profit in 12 months surely you would know that this is absolutely too good to be true. Shysters from India or Africa make a living out of conning Americans and Canadians and Australians because they think people from those countries are easy pickings and I guess we are. When someone tells me that I have inherited 10 million dollars and all I have to do is send them a "fee" of $10,000 and then they can release the 10 million to me, I KNOW that is a scam and it seems everyone should realize that is a scam. I tell them to just deduct the $10,000 fee from the 10 million and send the other $9,990,000 to me but for some reason they can't do that and they usually hang up on me about then. I guess I'm trying to say, as gently as possible, if someone offers you an outrageous "deal" where you are going to "get rich quick" with just this one deal, do not allow your greed to overcome your common sense. That's the end of my rant.
Exactly. Common sense isn’t so common, and if it sounds too good to be true, it usually is. Don’t cut corners and shirk hard work just to let your greed outdo your rational thinking
doctorkazoo ... well NOT being a cancer victim and not having chemo - his hair will grow back...that's why we see him constantly shaving it off !!! ha ha ha ha
Sadly, I've known several people who claimed to have cancer, just for attention. I think it should be a jail offence because those who do have cancer suffer because of these creeps and fraudsters.
Can you explain more I know someone who may be faking it They literally smoke after their surgery… wtf! Also after chemo up and running and apparently the steroids make them hyper active and moody they can’t sleep on them I dno
I know two women who made up bogus cancer stories - both for attention - and it’s still mind-blowing that anyone would do it, let alone that it’s struck multiple people (Rycroft, Belle Gibson in Australia, these two morons I knew, and surely plenty of others) as a fabulous idea. (In the cases of the two fake cancer patients I knew, one lost her government job, and the other was my employee. I wrote her off the schedule without ever telling her or others I had cancer at the time because - get this - I didn’t want pity or attention.)
Seems like you've got the opposite problem...suffering in silence. If ever there is a good time to seek extra attention and care, its when you have a serious illness.
I have lost two close family members to cancer, and another survived stage 4 breast cancer. Also, another close family member is currently battling esophageal cancer. I would have been more than happy to show these Arses for what they are. I would be happy to humiliate this man in front of the community he scammed. A return of 30% doesn’t happen, believing like that is like believing in fairy tales. I would have told him to set up a go fund me account. Why did he have a professor, not a M..D. Sign the letter? That seems like a mistake. Never trust anyone that needs $ right away. Something is wrong when someone cons people out of $300,000 and only gets sentenced to 4 years. That’s ridiculous! And to make matters worse, he only s we served 2 years!! That’s nothing!!
My Mother died from cancer just before Christmas 2022. 😢Watching her pass away over a period of 2 days was devastating. It’s beyond me why someone would claim to be fighting cancer just to get money and attention 😡 I hope karma pays him back in the years to come!!
So not one of his friends that went on the trips with him went to the “hospital” with him because I would’ve gone with him to these hospitals…. I mean if one of my friends is in the hospital for any reason surgery or other I always visit them or stay with them.
You'd go even if they insisted they wanted to go alone and would meet you later? Some people are super private and I'd never take someone again who insisted on going into the hospital when I asked them specifically to let me handle it alone. I've only one time had a friend come with me and it was because she was a professional in a related way to what I was going to the Dr for.
@@TahtahmesDiary If they only have a little bit to live than every time with him is special regardless of the situation so yes I would go I wouldn’t be one of those friends that would let someone do anything by themselves private or not and that’s how they got swindled because nobody had the brains to think maybe somethings wrong.
You wouldnt have much choice if they spelt it out to you in big bold letters that they dont want you there however well meaning - sometimes being a good friend is about respecting someones wishes - and dont bother telling me you would still have gone i dont want to hear it Mother Teresa
@@williamf4544 You really have no idea who mother Theresa really is to you? People definitely have choices and you obviously would’ve been duped big time.
Having lost 2 family members to cancer and having another fighting this dreaded disease now, it angers me no end that people will use this disease to con others. It’s disgusting and sickening that people like him exist. The effects of cancer last long after someone dies or recovers from it, financially and psychologically you never recover.
A very good writer Classic Books Robert Green another one 48 power of law was happy to see Read the Audio Book free dron youtube anyway seems the grater Community of MANCHESTER are good peoples but there are some rotten Potatoes in sack all over the world .
23% return, greed is why they lost their money. The cancer thing was bit dodgy what kind of family didn't ever go to any hospital appointments. When I had cancer my family went with me.
I would hardly believe his friends that were free loading off him, when they said they felt betrayed. That is an insult to the people who contributed and were really betrayed.
Yeah… I wonder about that too. How could they jet around with him to all these fancy places and not know something was wrong? I’m pretty certain that some of them must have known or suspected. They didn’t say anything because they were enjoying the ‘gravy train’ too much.
@@PhoenixFires9 So true. Rycroft was a British Airways Steward. Not exactly top level employment. Why did nobody question why an air steward would have access to BA investment accounts. That is just inconceivable. His friends didn't want to be interviewed for this documentary. I wonder why????
This is horrible! He deserves KARMA at its fullest! There’s people who die each day cause of that! Families suffer children suffer and for someone to pretend is just terrible breaks my heart. Lots of 🖤 to those who have suffered great Lost
All I can say to those who fall or have fallen as a victim of a con/scam, they shouldn't feel ashamed or embarrassed for believing good about people and wanting to help. Those are beautiful features when it's real victims or people with illnesses etc.that need help. Just be more careful but don't beat yourself up for it. I know there are some who think if a person falls to scam, they deserve the consequences for being foolish. I disagree because no one is safe from scam, not even those who know a lot about the subject. I know a lot but in certain circumstances someone could fool me. It is not the typical ones but a bit more complex and time consuming one but I know I could fall, so I try to keep updated about those types of scams and be very careful who I share my creations with. What one doesn't know, one can't know before finding out. And even if one knows a lot, one can fool oneself if one is in a vulnerable place in life and has a need for fantasy about something better. Then it is easier to put the blinders on. But the shame for those actions is only and only of the scammer's/con person's. They are the ones doing wrong. I hope this guy learned his lesson, but if he is a psychopath, I highly doubt he learned for any other reason than doing a "better" scam next time. And I am very disgusted for him using brain tumor because my aunt died because of it after several operations, which of each took a piece of her brain functions like speech and memory. It was very disheartening to see her slowly vanish until eventually she had to stay in a hospital bed and the doctors decided that another operation would not help but just make it worse so they decided to let her have her last days just heavily medicated and as comfortable as possible. She was a Christmas person, she was like a sun during Christmas time always smiling and her sense of humor was just cracking me up. So she died a day before Christmas eve, my cousin said that as a Christmas person she didn't want to have a hospital Christmas and so she left (this is an example of the family humor, my cousin is a lot like my aunt was.). But yes I know how difficult it is to hear a close person is going to die, you feel helpless and want so badly to help that do almost anything if it would help. Then hearing the person has been stomping on top of your good will this way taking advantage of you, it is disgusting.
ElinaZariel This is the most beautiful, wonderful, kindhearted and lovely comments I had ever read. Please accept my sincerest and deepest condolences for the loss of your beloved aunt. My mom passed away from aggressive breast cancer at the tender age of 47. Her 2 daughters, my younger sister and myself, surpassed that age, and I have survivors guilt. Thank you for what you had said regarding people that fall for scams. My husband and myself took in an 84 year old vet, and he was getting scam calls, at least, 12 - 14 times a day.. until he allowed me to answer the calls. There was one, last week -- in fact, that was for Nicor ( a gas company in the state of Illinois), and the person used the name Brian Wilson. I don't know if you listened to the 60s, but there's a band The Beach Boys, and one of the member's name is Brian Wilson, who along with his brothers, Carl and Dennis, started the band. So, I pretended to have an English accent, and I said," OMG! Are you the same Brian Wilson from The Beach Boys? I can't believe that I'm talking to you, and I've been a huge..." That's when he hung up on me. This man laughed so hard that his face was turning red. About 10 minutes later, he had received another scam call, but, this time, it was for car insurance from a company that I never heard of. So, I allowed the person, who said that their name was Peter Parker, to say their script, and I said to this scammer ( each of these callers had a heavy Indian accent )," Oh, son, when are you and Mary Jane coming over to talk about marriage?" This scammer replied that he was going to come over soon, but he had to work. He kept on about this car insurance scam, so, as I was talking to him, I was talking in a high pitched shrill voice with a southern accent, and I said this," Oh, Peter, you know I haven't driven since 1972." A second later, he hung up on me. Again, I had this man laughing hysterically at the voice I was doing, and how I messed with the scammer. I mistaken thought that no more calls would be made to this man's phone, but one more happened, and it was from "social security administration." Again, an Indian accent but had an Americanized name. As they were saying that his social security number had been compromised, and I began my own "script," and I was fake crying, and saying that there was no possible way that it could be my father's number, because he didn't exist, and I was an orphan. I asked this scammer to send a letter to prove that this had occured, then I began talking, again, in a high pitched shrill voice that I had 12 kids, no child support, and saying that I need money, and since they found over $25K in cash, it was my property, because this mysterious vehicle was in my father's name, which made it his property, and as for the drugs, I could sell it back to the DEA for a mark-up price. As soon as I finished saying that, he hung up on me. So, this man had gone from getting 12 - 14 calls a day to 0 calls.
Yes, I always want to believe people until they give me a reason not to. It’s people like this who ruin it for everyone else. It’s sad and infuriating we have to worry about things like this.
This isn't that uncommon for people to do. People mostly do it for sympathy and attention rather than money though. The most terrible cases I've seen are where people pretend their children have cancer.
Genetically, I am prone to cancers; so far I have four types of cancer ravaging my body. I live one day at a time, even my doctors are afraid for me. I am still working despite my disability; this man is playing with fire. He is healthy, he should live his life rather than conning good people.
While its disgusting this guy ended up abusing trust by faking cancer and his ponzi scheme, the investments were driven by greed. A 23% return on investment is ridiculous, a huge red flag of a con and the first sign that you should run but this was out and out greed on the part of "investors".
Rich people do it all the time and aren't considered greedy. Only the poor and less educated get these lectures. The reality is, they thought they found the "in" on a good business deal that in reality happens all the time for the wealthy who are actually the ones hoarding money and displaying greed in every financial decision. 23% is a lot, but if you're unaware of how large this is or what a risk investments are in general, it's easy to see how they got sucked in by a trusted and seemingly successful friend.
@@TahtahmesDiary I am by no means "rich" or even "highly educated" and I know that a 23% ROI is ridiculous and a scam, as do most average people. It has nothing to do with whether you are rich or poor, uneducated or highly educated, as shown by the "victims" of Bernie Madoff (generally well off and educated, (who I have little sympathy for either) but as I stated it is about greed, they think they see a way to make big, fast money and instead of putting it in a high interest savings account all they see are fast $$$$$. If the poor and uneducated as you claim know so little about investing, what are they doing investing money they can't affort to lose?, simply greed. There are tons of safe, lower yielding investments out there if you have no idea what you are doing. And just for the many, many average people investing who you seem to think are poor and uneducated and may not be aware.....there is no Nigerian Prince wanting to send you money either.

Having Stage 3 Ovarian Cancer I never looked like I had cancer until I did chemo. When I went to doc and told him I had cancer he laughed as my blood work get came as excellent and I looked like a picture of health. This dude must have better friends than I as most could care less that I have a terminal illness which is quite disheartening. AND, that's what is so disgusting about this monster, he didn't cherish his good friends and took advantage of them. People fall for the money and the charm.
YT Algo has a sense of humour! @8:15 An Ad started playing when I wasn't watching, all I heard was 🔊🎶The Decepticons, Transformers robots in disguise🎶...I actually thought it was part of the video & was poking fun at the guy! Decept-icons 🤣
What a POS!! All those he took money from should file a class action suit!! They will probably never get their money back but it's one more black mark against him for any future scams he may pull.
My friend - a scrupulously honest window-cleaner who maintains his family on minimum wage - learned his daughter had cystic fibrosis. Major British football teams donated signed shirts and footballs to be raffled to raise the $180,000 required for the young lady's operation. Our local community also donated generously. The surgery went ahead and all concerned felt deep pride in having helped raise the requisite cost. My friend couldn't possibly have raised this astronomical sum without the generous help of benefactors.
Please don't allow one isolated example of sickening fraud and dishonesty to dissuade you from donating generously to worthy causes. You will feel elating pride in having helped to save someone's life. That is not, of course, to say you shouldn't carry out due diligence.
With all that money and traveling, he couldn't find a dentist to fix his teeth! 🙄
Should be in 'The Big Book of British Smiles ' lol
Maybe he's got a phobia haha hope he's got toothache now though serves him right . See how he complains then
My family has lost so many members through cancer. And it sickness me . I had a freind of my partner claim that he had cancer can remember him claiming that he,d just come from finding out at hospital to ours cus welive next to hospital and him sobbing on my arms . I let him move into my house for a year and a half for free as long as he paid utititys. A year and a half later and many warning signs he was lying I receive house key through the post and not even a thank you note . Turned out it was all bullshit he never put electric or gas on once in all this time meaning I am having to clear debuts of nearly £2000 standing charge and council tax that he also didn't pay for that period. He even got a well paid job towards the end. He even gave my cooker to next door neighbour for free. All those wasted nights that I sat there holding his hand and crying with him thinking he was dying. Running round after him cus "don't get up mate you rest you ve got to better" drove my relationship to brink cus he was my fellas mate I had only met him once before that . I wouldn't usually put anybody up but how can you throw a man in his late 50s onto the street with cancer treatments to complete in the middle of winter is what I thought even when I had warning signs he's since done it to another 2 people in our local area. Made me even more distrusting of people than I allready was. He knew I had watched my nanna die like that. He's still lying about it to this day 5 years later . And think he will until the day he dies

Oh yea. He has bad teeth.
What's the worst about this is someone else who does have cancer that needs help financially the people who donated will think twice about it and that's just so sad!!!
Excellent point.

This guy in this video is the most scumiest person on earth for faking illness such as cancer
I'm still in treatment... He's vermin.
As a 10 year cancer survivor, this story makes me sick. My children were 4 and 9 when I was diagnosed. I waited 1 month to tell my mother as I simply wasn’t strong enough to pick up the phone to tell her at first.
Cancer is a destructive disease that has impacted many people and their loved ones. This man is disgusting. Absolutely disgusting!
Agree completely Ali. Scumbaggery at it's 'best'. A giant congrats on your 10 years and many, many more!
He now is a murder; Cold-hearted killer gets life-sentence
CON man Glenn Rycroft has been jailed for life for murdering his gay lover by battering him to death with a fire extinguisher. The 33-year-old, who conned friends and family out of more than £200,000 and later faked a brain tumour, was told by the court he must serve at least 25 years in prison.
Best of luck.
Happy that you are doing well 😊 I have loved ones who have died of Cancer, including my Mom. This guy was smacking Karma in the face. What a selfish Narcissist!!!
Stay well 😊💗
The story really makes you want to throw up. It's that deplorable. The fact the victims don't get their money, their life savings, because of his lavish lifestyle and cancer scam, is beyond ridiculous.
Just googled him. He went on to commit murder in 2009 so was jailed for life.
WOW!
Good!!!
“If you will steal, you will kill.”
What!? Dang!!!
He should’ve been jailed just for those teeth. Glad he’s locked away from society finally

My cousin did this. She told us she had cancer of the spine. She didn't actually ask anyone for money, though many of us lavished gifts and treats on her. For her I think it was more about seeking attention. Having us all run around after her and the loving gestures we made. She needed them in some very essential way.
But I'll never forget the slow dawning realisation that she was lying to us. It was was devastating. We had mourned so genuinely the thought of losing her at such a young age. I do forgive her and mostly just feel very sad that she was so desperate to feel loved she sank to such depths. However many of the family have never been able to move past it and it has changed the nature of her relationship with all of us. I often think how awful it will be if she ever does contract a serious disease - because no one will believe her.
I’d be too scared that it would be tempting fate
My brother did the same to me. He told me when he was 20 that he had stage 4 lung cancer. I was convinced it was terminal. I grieved for him. Then it all came out that he made it up for attention. I was absolutely heartbroken all over again.
I have also forgiven him and we are close again. But I'd be wary next time he gets some sort of serious diagnosis.
Thank you for having the gift of forgiveness

It's called Munchausen Syndrome.
As a cancer survivor, I've thought that I'd never wish it on anyone...until now.
True. He has no idea.

Thank you so much for asking.❤️
Cisplatin is really the worst of the worst. I’m so glad you’re doing well!

Wow! He only got 4 years and served 2. That is utterly unacceptable. He should of got 10 years of hard labor and needed to pay back his debt.

Well he is serving a life sentence for murder so there!
I find that the lowest form of living is either stealing, or deceiving people for personal gain.
He should have used some of that money to get that nasty overbite corrected.
My oldest brother lied about having cancer, had so many twitches and glitches through his kid years. Ended up a drug user, and took advantage of so many people. He’s a bad liar but when family says they have cancer and need treatment family and others provide unknowingly.
The part when the women explained having to tell your mom about you having cancer got me... I always tell people, finding out that I had cancer was tough, but telling my mom was the hardest part! Especially at 25 years old. So for someone to tell a lie like that is just unimaginable!
I hope you go on to live a long, healthy & interesting life.
Telling my mom and children that I had cancer was the hardest I ever had to do. People like him are despicable and don't care the pain and misery they cause.
@@ailleananaithnid2566 thank you! It's been interesting that's for sure!
@@missfluffydiva2120 so hard! I can't even imagine a mom telling their children... I know my mom couldn't believe it, and my friend at the time, who later became my husband couldn't either
@@BeTheLight242 I am not normally a sickly person and the diagnosis came after a routine screening, it was already spreading and I had no symptoms at all. I told my mom a couple of days before my surgery and she lives 6, 000 miles away it was so difficult telling her over the phone. My children were so shocked and couldn't believe it and my best friend cried her heart out. That is why it makes me so angry when people like this specimen make a mockery of this illness because they have absolutely no idea how devastating it is not only to the person who has it, but family and friends too. I hope you are well.

And the irony is those he’s scammed probably wouldn’t give him support if he really got cancer.
He’s in prison for murder atm.
Never forget this advice. Always. Liars begin to believe their own lies. THAT'S when the whole situation blows up!
💯 they get high off their own supply, to quote a famous line
As Judge Judy always says: you don't need good memory if you tell the truth!! Totally believe that. That is why all these conmen do such extensive research, they need to sound like they know what they are talking about and to keep it all straight in their warped minds!!
Look to a lot of the World Leaders (and former ones!) right now.

I have a lot of medical problems that I hide out of embarrassment and shame. It's sad people are this comfortable fabricating such serious illnesses that people die from, just for a few bucks. 🙁
Me too mate, I doubt anyone can fake the medical condition My Family and I have (marfan's syndrome) it's very evident. My Brother was approached at a wedding last week and asked by this horrible woman "what's wrong with You, You don't look normal" he was mortified and I want to hunt her down and throttle her!
You should never be ashamed! We all tend to feel a bit superior when healthy but we can all draw the short straw at any time
💜💜💜💜
I do the same, I don’t talk about my health.
The same here.. gets me angry 😠
All he got was 4 years in prison? That is outrageous, should have gotten at least 10 years.🤷♀️🤷♀️
THAT'S EXACTLY WHAT I THOUGHT, 10 YRS MINIMUM!
HE DIDN'T EVEN DO THE STANDARD ⅔, HE WAS OUT IN 2 SO HE MUST'VE GOTTEN HIS PAROLE, WHICH IN ITSELF IS JUST ANOTHER JOKE. HE DEFINITELY PULLED THE WOOL OVER THE PAROLE BOARDS EYES. YOU WOULD THINK THEY'D KNOW BETTER CONSIDERING HIS 25 CONVICTIONS.
IN MY OPINION, THE JUSTICE SYSTEM SHOULD START MAKING THEM SERVE THE WHOLE TERM IF THEY HAVE A SENTENCE OF 5 YRS OR LESS. ESPECIALLY FOR CERTAIN CRIMES WHERE THE FINANCIAL BURDEN REACHES A CERTAIN AMOUNT & HIS DEFINITELY DID!
He was jailed for life in the mean time because he murdered his lover.
British jail sentences. England must be heaven!
@@mirjamweibel9678 life doesn't mean life in English prisons
Never mind, he killed his boyfriend and in 2009 got a 25 year full life term. Meaning he will serve the full 25 years before he can even apply for parole in 2034. With no guarantee that he will get it
He's the type that makes others callous toward people who really do have a serious illness in need of financial resources.
As most of the females in my family suffer from cancer, some live and lots have died, I find this person appalling and it has to be one of the worst lies someone can speak 😢😢

Most people get cancer. Or sepsis. Or heart failure. Or a stroke. It’s sad but it’s perfectly normal to get sick sooner or later. Everybody dies of something or other. There’s nothing special about cancer.
@@Woodman-Spare-that-tree Your right, but my family members are very special, just as sure as I am that you are, thanks for comment ✌

Same, My ex did this and i believed him for a year. Until i got smart 🥴
Did you leave him?
@@Liitebulb yes. Divorce is currently in motion. His latest bs is he gave a fake number to a pastor to do court ordered supervised audio visual visits. Of course the pastor couldn't get a hold of me so this tard called my pastor and told him I wasn't following the parenting plan. Setting me up is more important to him then seeing his children. But he always said he would have nothing to do with his kids as long as I am in the picture. The truth always comes out. The pastor ended up agreeing we should go through a professional and said he would send the phone back sent to him. Let's not forget while he is making false accusations against me he is the one not following the court orders. He owes almost 11 grand in child support. I have a restraining order against him for stalking and harassment and calling my landlord to try and get us thrown out(he's been somewhat successful in the past) while making claims I cause our children to be homeless because of mental illness. Then, in the past, he would call cps and claim I'm neglecting the children because of homelessness. It's never worked. None of his lies have ever worked out for him the way he hopes it would
Imagine the empty shell of a person like him... He is such a nobody that he can't even have a stable relationship with someone else because there is no one there.
What a despicable man
He is the lowest of the low.
damn if he lost one of his teeth and put his under his pillow he would have enough money

That Detectives eyes are mesmorizing. 🔵
My Mum has terminal cancer and my Nan has sadly passed away from pancreatic cancer what makes me angry is that anyone like my family members who have cancer who need legitimate financial help when they ask for the help anyone who has donated or charities will be more wary and less inclined to help which I find its just a hit to the system

Attention... money... Munchausen is an insane illness... idk if he had it but most ppl who lie about cancer do it for attention, money, sympathy etc. They get off on ppl making a fuss over them
This should come as no surprise to his family and friends. Someone who lies to get through the day, is known to everyone in his inner circle. Again, i say
This should not come as a big surprise. People always say " he'll outgrow it", however when these liars get away with something they'll definitely do it AGAIN! Parents: Nip this in the bud. Address the lying at once!! How? It all depends on how the parents discipline their kids at home. My son is a CHRONIC LIAR. He never outgrew it. The parents are completely responsible for letting this continue.
I agree with you. I have several painful medical conditions. He makes me sick
@@robertafierro5592 so you're saying you're at fault for your son's lying habits? A parent's job is to teach them right from wrong but whether the child actually follows those teachings is solely up to the child.
My uncle died a few years ago from having a brain tumour. It disgusts me that people like this individual lied about that he had it and that people easily did fall for it. Its horrible as there are people dying each day from a cancer of some sort and to lie about it is worse than the actual disease. I am so glad they caught up to his lying. My mom always said .. "You can lock up from a thief but not from a liar!" She was so right and very wise. What would he do if he did get cancer? No one would help him as they were the victims of his lies and so may not believe him or feel sorry for him for reals.

I don't understand why people do this. It makes me sick to the stomach
Unreal!!! I can't believe some people, I live in a small town where a woman here pretended to have breast cancer but she said her doctor wanted to wait until she got home from a two month vacation from Newfoundland to Nova Scotia. I knew she was lying because no doctor would want the cancer to spread! Needless to say she never got a cent out of me and it just disgusted me! I myself had cervical cancer cells and had to have them lasered off two days later after finding out! I never told anyone about that though because it's a private issue and I didn't want attention. This man is sick in the head and terrible!
Should've used some of the money to fix his teeth!
lord... how could he not... there terribly nasty..
Lol!
Okayyy lol
Shaved his head but still had those evil eyebrows. Why didn't anyone notice that?
He likes them LMAO
I had a relative fake cancer twice. She didn’t ask or get any money that I know of - they did it for attention. I found that out as I would ask very simple questions about basic treatment and she would give these made up answers - I don’t even think she knew what chemo was.
She said she got surgery and it went away. I noticed that she was partying like 2 days after her surgery, moving with no pain - drinking and smoking. I don’t talk to her anymore, my mom supported her and I don’t really talk to my mom anymore because of this silliness.
I saw someone doing this once. It was a few years ago, he'd tell everyone he had terminal cancer, but he wasn't even slightly sick. He just enjoyed telling people and watching some crying around him. 🤬 He's still walking around today, as healthy as ever
of course he is🤬 wont be laughing if he actually gets cancer and no-one believes him
Yea same. Narcissistic aholes. Especially seeing my dad waste away in a month with stage 4 liver cancer it makes my blood boil even more. If I saw him at a pub or something I think I couldn't fight the urge to smash his teeth unfortunately. My friends would probably stop me but it would be really hard.
Horrific
Lowest of low are people who can do this to loved ones 😡
I wish these ppl would actually end up getting cancer.
I had skin cancer (melanoma) back in 2007. I was very, very lucky and it was caught early. But I’ll never forget the shock and fear I felt when told. It was horrific for me and my family not knowing what the future held.
Also, my father passed away in 1980 from cancer. It was a dreadful time for us. I wouldn’t wish either of these scenarios on my worst enemy. This creature is utterly despicable and vile. I hope he’s suffering in prison.
Forgive me but I can't stop laughing. I would have given him money to fix those teeth.

Well, he went to prison in 2009 for murdering his boyfriend so I’m pretty sure this is from a really old show.
It was definitely from a series that was on TV, I remember watching it. I think it was around 2010-ish when I saw it.
It's a TV show, I watched it with my mom in the early 2000s until I moved out at 18 in around 2010. This show was running with new episodes that entire time.
I hope he at least used some of that money to get those corn chompers fixed. What a D bag

Red flag: Hospitals typically ask that you have someone drive you home after most stays or procedure, in case you are fatigued, have lingering medication side effects, and don’t want the liability if you have an accident, and usually staff escort the person outside for pick-up. Plus, hospital discharge often doesn’t mean that the person is “all better,” just that they don’t need 24/7 hospital level care at the moment.
It is not impossible, but very odd to never need anyone to pick you up at the hospital and to always drive yourself or Uber wile receiving cancer care, or if the person asks to be picked up and is just waiting alone out front.
This lovely charming fellow is now serving life for murdering his married boyfriend in 2009…
Sadly its not life is it, life means life and you dont get out alive but life in the UK is like what 25 years which I wouldnt say that is life
I have the utmost contempt for this man and think he is lower than an earthworm, because I used to have cancer. I don't say cancer is in remission because that implies the cancer is just lurking around waiting to pounce again, so I say I USED to have cancer. That was about 8 years ago but I remember all too well how scared I was when my doctor called me and told me the test he had given me was positive for cancer. I had breast cancer and I suffered through surgery where they removed part of my breast and hopefully ALL of the cancer and then I spent months going thru Chemo and then Radiation Therapy. I believe the cancer is behind me now but I still have the nasty scar where the cancer was removed and I still have bald spots where my hair will never grow back after I lost most of it to Chemo. I also live in constant fear that the cancer will come back. I think you will understand then when I say I hold this guy in nothing but contempt for pretending to have cancer.
I also have a great deal of empathy for those who were swindled out of their life savings by this conman. But if someone tells you that you will make a 20% profit in 12 months surely you would know that this is absolutely too good to be true. Shysters from India or Africa make a living out of conning Americans and Canadians and Australians because they think people from those countries are easy pickings and I guess we are. When someone tells me that I have inherited 10 million dollars and all I have to do is send them a "fee" of $10,000 and then they can release the 10 million to me, I KNOW that is a scam and it seems everyone should realize that is a scam. I tell them to just deduct the $10,000 fee from the 10 million and send the other $9,990,000 to me but for some reason they can't do that and they usually hang up on me about then. I guess I'm trying to say, as gently as possible, if someone offers you an outrageous "deal" where you are going to "get rich quick" with just this one deal, do not allow your greed to overcome your common sense. That's the end of my rant.
I hope you have a long good life
Exactly. Common sense isn’t so common, and if it sounds too good to be true, it usually is. Don’t cut corners and shirk hard work just to let your greed outdo your rational thinking
Yes. When I heard 20%, I pretty much knew it was a scam. That’s pretty unheard of.
Well they already knew him and trusted him so it is a bit different.
If he had so much money wouldn't he fix his teeth
What goes around, comes around, and he will get his.
13:35 ffs clear our throat, gurgling away
Good documentary but how many times do we have to watch this guy shave his head!??
Hahahaha
No way to talk about a ill man lol
doctorkazoo ... well NOT being a cancer victim and not having chemo - his hair will grow back...that's why we see him constantly shaving it off !!! ha ha ha ha
It builds the suspense
Sadly, I've known several people who claimed to have cancer, just for attention. I think it should be a jail offence because those who do have cancer suffer because of these creeps and fraudsters.
As a cancer patient, red flag cure for cancer. No such thing ... we live by treatments
Can you explain more
I know someone who may be faking it
They literally smoke after their surgery… wtf! Also after chemo up and running and apparently the steroids make them hyper active and moody they can’t sleep on them

So many red flags that family and friends ignored. Most doctors I know require someone to drive you to and from appointments like that.
I know two women who made up bogus cancer stories - both for attention - and it’s still mind-blowing that anyone would do it, let alone that it’s struck multiple people (Rycroft, Belle Gibson in Australia, these two morons I knew, and surely plenty of others) as a fabulous idea. (In the cases of the two fake cancer patients I knew, one lost her government job, and the other was my employee. I wrote her off the schedule without ever telling her or others I had cancer at the time because - get this - I didn’t want pity or attention.)
HI TRUDY,
I JUST WANTED TO SAY I HOPE YR WELL. 🙂
@@cheryl5994 Thank you for your sweet wishes. Still standing after two bouts of the real c-word!
Seems like you've got the opposite problem...suffering in silence. If ever there is a good time to seek extra attention and care, its when you have a serious illness.
I have lost two close family members to cancer, and another survived stage 4 breast cancer. Also, another close family member is currently battling esophageal cancer. I would have been more than happy to show these Arses for what they are. I would be happy to humiliate this man in front of the community he scammed. A return of 30% doesn’t happen, believing like that is like believing in fairy tales. I would have told him to set up a go fund me account. Why did he have a professor, not a M..D. Sign the letter? That seems like a mistake. Never trust anyone that needs $ right away. Something is wrong when someone cons people out of $300,000 and only gets sentenced to 4 years. That’s ridiculous! And to make matters worse, he only s we served 2 years!! That’s nothing!!
And went on to murder someone!
💜💜💜💜
The guy with the red shirt undone nearly to his naval, is a bit creepy
He looks shifty with beady eyes . Wouldn’t lend it a penny
My Mother died from cancer just before Christmas 2022. 😢Watching her pass away over a period of 2 days was devastating. It’s beyond me why someone would claim to be fighting cancer just to get money and attention 😡 I hope karma pays him back in the years to come!!
Something which I found very odd is nobody of his inmediate relatives, family, parents, didn't realise that something was wrong with this guy.
So not one of his friends that went on the trips with him went to the “hospital” with him because I would’ve gone with him to these hospitals….
I mean if one of my friends is in the hospital for any reason surgery or other I always visit them or stay with them.
You'd go even if they insisted they wanted to go alone and would meet you later? Some people are super private and I'd never take someone again who insisted on going into the hospital when I asked them specifically to let me handle it alone. I've only one time had a friend come with me and it was because she was a professional in a related way to what I was going to the Dr for.
@@TahtahmesDiary If they only have a little bit to live than every time with him is special regardless of the situation so yes I would go I wouldn’t be one of those friends that would let someone do anything by themselves private or not and that’s how they got swindled because nobody had the brains to think maybe somethings wrong.
@@slytherinsky I’m with you. I’d never let my friend go through this alone.
You wouldnt have much choice if they spelt it out to you in big bold letters that they dont want you there however well meaning - sometimes being a good friend is about respecting someones wishes - and dont bother telling me you would still have gone i dont want to hear it Mother Teresa
@@williamf4544 You really have no idea who mother Theresa really is to you?
People definitely have choices and you obviously would’ve been duped big time.
Having lost 2 family members to cancer and having another fighting this dreaded disease now, it angers me no end that people will use this disease to con others. It’s disgusting and sickening that people like him exist. The effects of cancer last long after someone dies or recovers from it, financially and psychologically you never recover.
That one guy looks like daniel graig lol :D

A very good writer Classic Books Robert Green another one 48 power of law was happy to see Read the Audio Book free dron youtube anyway seems the grater Community of MANCHESTER are good peoples but there are some rotten Potatoes in sack all over the world .
Friends or not...would be farbetter to seek legal advice before parting with your life savings.
What a horrible rotten person.x
23% return, greed is why they lost their money.
The cancer thing was bit dodgy what kind of family didn't ever go to any hospital appointments. When I had cancer my family went with me.
I would hardly believe his friends that were free loading off him, when they said they felt betrayed. That is an insult to the people who contributed and were really betrayed.
Yeah… I wonder about that too. How could they jet around with him to all these fancy places and not know something was wrong? I’m pretty certain that some of them must have known or suspected. They didn’t say anything because they were enjoying the ‘gravy train’ too much.
@@PhoenixFires9 So true. Rycroft was a British Airways Steward. Not exactly top level employment. Why did nobody question why an air steward would have access to BA investment accounts. That is just inconceivable. His friends didn't want to be interviewed for this documentary. I wonder why????
This is horrible! He deserves KARMA at its fullest! There’s people who die each day cause of that! Families suffer children suffer and for someone to pretend is just terrible breaks my heart. Lots of 🖤 to those who have suffered great Lost
he committed murder and now in prison I guess
Karma never loses an address.
All I can say to those who fall or have fallen as a victim of a con/scam, they shouldn't feel ashamed or embarrassed for believing good about people and wanting to help. Those are beautiful features when it's real victims or people with illnesses etc.that need help. Just be more careful but don't beat yourself up for it. I know there are some who think if a person falls to scam, they deserve the consequences for being foolish. I disagree because no one is safe from scam, not even those who know a lot about the subject. I know a lot but in certain circumstances someone could fool me. It is not the typical ones but a bit more complex and time consuming one but I know I could fall, so I try to keep updated about those types of scams and be very careful who I share my creations with.
What one doesn't know, one can't know before finding out. And even if one knows a lot, one can fool oneself if one is in a vulnerable place in life and has a need for fantasy about something better. Then it is easier to put the blinders on. But the shame for those actions is only and only of the scammer's/con person's. They are the ones doing wrong. I hope this guy learned his lesson, but if he is a psychopath, I highly doubt he learned for any other reason than doing a "better" scam next time.
And I am very disgusted for him using brain tumor because my aunt died because of it after several operations, which of each took a piece of her brain functions like speech and memory. It was very disheartening to see her slowly vanish until eventually she had to stay in a hospital bed and the doctors decided that another operation would not help but just make it worse so they decided to let her have her last days just heavily medicated and as comfortable as possible. She was a Christmas person, she was like a sun during Christmas time always smiling and her sense of humor was just cracking me up. So she died a day before Christmas eve, my cousin said that as a Christmas person she didn't want to have a hospital Christmas and so she left (this is an example of the family humor, my cousin is a lot like my aunt was.).
But yes I know how difficult it is to hear a close person is going to die, you feel helpless and want so badly to help that do almost anything if it would help. Then hearing the person has been stomping on top of your good will this way taking advantage of you, it is disgusting.
ElinaZariel This is the most beautiful, wonderful, kindhearted and lovely comments I had ever read. Please accept my sincerest and deepest condolences for the loss of your beloved aunt. My mom passed away from aggressive breast cancer at the tender age of 47. Her 2 daughters, my younger sister and myself, surpassed that age, and I have survivors guilt.
Thank you for what you had said regarding people that fall for scams. My husband and myself took in an 84 year old vet, and he was getting scam calls, at least, 12 - 14 times a day.. until he allowed me to answer the calls. There was one, last week -- in fact, that was for Nicor ( a gas company in the state of Illinois), and the person used the name Brian Wilson. I don't know if you listened to the 60s, but there's a band The Beach Boys, and one of the member's name is Brian Wilson, who along with his brothers, Carl and Dennis, started the band. So, I pretended to have an English accent, and I said," OMG! Are you the same Brian Wilson from The Beach Boys? I can't believe that I'm talking to you, and I've been a huge..." That's when he hung up on me. This man laughed so hard that his face was turning red. About 10 minutes later, he had received another scam call, but, this time, it was for car insurance from a company that I never heard of. So, I allowed the person, who said that their name was Peter Parker, to say their script, and I said to this scammer ( each of these callers had a heavy Indian accent )," Oh, son, when are you and Mary Jane coming over to talk about marriage?" This scammer replied that he was going to come over soon, but he had to work. He kept on about this car insurance scam, so, as I was talking to him, I was talking in a high pitched shrill voice with a southern accent, and I said this," Oh, Peter, you know I haven't driven since 1972." A second later, he hung up on me. Again, I had this man laughing hysterically at the voice I was doing, and how I messed with the scammer. I mistaken thought that no more calls would be made to this man's phone, but one more happened, and it was from "social security administration." Again, an Indian accent but had an Americanized name. As they were saying that his social security number had been compromised, and I began my own "script," and I was fake crying, and saying that there was no possible way that it could be my father's number, because he didn't exist, and I was an orphan. I asked this scammer to send a letter to prove that this had occured, then I began talking, again, in a high pitched shrill voice that I had 12 kids, no child support, and saying that I need money, and since they found over $25K in cash, it was my property, because this mysterious vehicle was in my father's name, which made it his property, and as for the drugs, I could sell it back to the DEA for a mark-up price. As soon as I finished saying that, he hung up on me.
So, this man had gone from getting 12 - 14 calls a day to 0 calls.
Yes, I always want to believe people until they give me a reason not to. It’s people like this who ruin it for everyone else. It’s sad and infuriating we have to worry about things like this.
Really he swindled all this money and still never got his teeth fixed geez priorities
Why won't the bloke in the red shirt COUGH!!!
For all you knew he could had been ill! It very sadly turned out that he passed away in 2016
They say that he still has 10 million dollars hidden in his teeth.
Lol good one!!! 😂
😂😂😂
What's with the porn style music when the half button red shirt guy speaks🤣🤣
I had a friend that faked cancer and she didn't fool me at all. She just did it to get pain meds. well she's not a friend of mine anymore
So she didn't fool you but somehow fooled her own Dr into prescribing pain meds for fictional cancer? That makes no sense.
This isn't that uncommon for people to do. People mostly do it for sympathy and attention rather than money though. The most terrible cases I've seen are where people pretend their children have cancer.
Munchausen
Genetically, I am prone to cancers; so far I have four types of cancer ravaging my body. I live one day at a time, even my doctors are afraid for me. I am still working despite my disability; this man is playing with fire. He is healthy, he should live his life rather than conning good people.
Hope u are ok
💜💜💜
To be taken seriously, you have to start conning your family, love ones and friends to be believable!
Interesting that he didn’t use any of the money to fix those dreadful teeth
First thing I thought he'd do.
Or the monobrow!
While its disgusting this guy ended up abusing trust by faking cancer and his ponzi scheme, the investments were driven by greed. A 23% return on investment is ridiculous, a huge red flag of a con and the first sign that you should run but this was out and out greed on the part of "investors".
Rich people do it all the time and aren't considered greedy. Only the poor and less educated get these lectures. The reality is, they thought they found the "in" on a good business deal that in reality happens all the time for the wealthy who are actually the ones hoarding money and displaying greed in every financial decision.
23% is a lot, but if you're unaware of how large this is or what a risk investments are in general, it's easy to see how they got sucked in by a trusted and seemingly successful friend.
@@TahtahmesDiary I am by no means "rich" or even "highly educated" and I know that a 23% ROI is ridiculous and a scam, as do most average people. It has nothing to do with whether you are rich or poor, uneducated or highly educated, as shown by the "victims" of Bernie Madoff (generally well off and educated, (who I have little sympathy for either) but as I stated it is about greed, they think they see a way to make big, fast money and instead of putting it in a high interest savings account all they see are fast $$$$$. If the poor and uneducated as you claim know so little about investing, what are they doing investing money they can't affort to lose?, simply greed. There are tons of safe, lower yielding investments out there if you have no idea what you are doing. And just for the many, many average people investing who you seem to think are poor and uneducated and may not be aware.....there is no Nigerian Prince wanting to send you money either.
What about a criminal oncologist who will tell a patient he/she has cancer and profits from the given cancer treatments. Same category.
Has this happened? I really hope not but my faith in humanity is running low right now.
As a cancer patient I'm furious. But my devilish mind wishes Big C would pay him a visit...
I thought the same thing! If he does no one will believe him!
Good luck to you 🙏🙏🙏
@@theresarasche3173 Thanks. Best wishes from Lisbon Portugal.
@@MariaTorres-hc5uq I hope you beat it Maria. My granny had cancer and I would be happy if no one got it again ever! Best wishes to you from British Columbia, Canada. 🌷
@@PhoenixFires9 Thank you! I think I've been "lucky" and I got one of the "tame" variety, it all started back in 2003 and I'm still here at 63 yo. Best wishes from Lisbon Portugal.
I worked for a private catholic school in Tokyo. I learned quickly never to donate to any charity.
He is the lowest of the low.
Having Stage 3 Ovarian Cancer I never looked like I had cancer until I did chemo. When I went to doc and told him I had cancer he laughed as my blood work get came as excellent and I looked like a picture of health. This dude must have better friends than I as most could care less that I have a terminal illness which is quite disheartening. AND, that's what is so disgusting about this monster, he didn't cherish his good friends and took advantage of them. People fall for the money and the charm.
So it's greed that got these people.... do not give money to anybody, lesson no.1
Sadly people's greed helped this dreadful man.
all the money 💰 yet never got his teeth done 🤔
YT Algo has a sense of humour! @8:15 An Ad started playing when I wasn't watching, all I heard was 🔊🎶The Decepticons, Transformers robots in disguise🎶...I actually thought it was part of the video & was poking fun at the guy!
Decept-icons 🤣
What a POS!! All those he took money from should file a class action suit!! They will probably never get their money back but it's one more black mark against him for any future scams he may pull.
sooo with all that scam cancer money, he never thought about dental work?
Wtf! Why didn't he use some of that stolen money to get braces? Maybe get a nose job too.😝
Thank you! Lol!!🤣🤣
If karma is a real force in the universe, Glenn will actually get brain cancer at some point.
This is disgusting my late fella died of cancer Iv been heart broke . Evil to pretend like that so bad
