Police said a college student in Iowa allegedly faked a cancer diagnosis to raise over $37,000 in donations on GoFundMe.
, Russo was ‘diagnosed’ late in 2021 with stage 2 pancreatic cancer. Russo claimed her diagnosis had an 11% survival rate.In the following months, she claimed she was also diagnosed with leukemia after the cancer moved to her blood. When the original story was published in October, Russo said she learned a week previously that she now had a ‘football-sized’ tumor on her spine.
However, sleuths on social media began poking holes in her story and noticing strange discrepancies with how her chemotherapy was being administered. In one strange TikTok video, Russo claimed she maintained her hair with the use of over-the-counter supplements and ‘just not washing it every day.’Russo was arrested on January 23 and booked at Scott County Jail. She was held on $10,000 bond, according to court records.
‘GoFundMe has a zero tolerance policy for misuse of our platform,’ the site stated. They are offering donors to Russo’s page a full refund.
