The Scamanda
Elsie Lindsey
This audiobook is narrated by a digital voice.
Imagine donating to someone you think is fighting for their life, only to discover months later that it was all a lie. Amanda Riley conned hundreds of people into donating over $100,000—all based on a fabricated cancer diagnosis. The Scamanda exposes the shocking truth behind one of the most manipulative fraud schemes in recent years.
Riley’s carefully constructed web of lies included doctored medical records, staged hospital photos, and emotional appeals that tugged at the heartstrings of compassionate strangers. What made her deception even more disturbing was how personal and trusting her relationships were—friends, family, even entire communities believed she was dying, and they poured their hearts—and money—into supporting her. But none of it was real.
You’ll get an inside look at how Riley exploited online fundraising platforms like GoFundMe, harnessing the power of social media to craft a narrative so convincing that even seasoned journalists couldn’t detect the fraud. Through her psychological manipulation and the perfect use of digital tools, she created an emotional journey that swayed thousands. But the truth couldn’t stay hidden forever.
The Scamanda is more than just a story of theft—it’s a wake-up call about the dangers of online deception. Whether you’ve donated to a campaign or simply follow online stories, you need to read this book to understand how easily we can be manipulated by those who prey on our kindness.
