You can see the drama unfold in the comments section (sort of just getting started at the time of this post)

Here is another thread someone made that is specifically about the suspicion of a scam: https://www.reddit.com/r/Jessicamshannon/comments/7rfi3a/is_jessica_scamming_people/

Well it's a scam for sure. Duh. /u/SDRresume90 taught me no american goes without proper medical care, so people asking for money for treatment must be scammers.

Not that simple.

Oh but /u/SDRresume90 assured me that the US has 'free' healthcare and that nobody would fall trough the cracks! Are you telling me this isn't true? /u/SDRresume90 DID YOU LIE TO ME?!

The OP is deleted. What did it say?

Looks like it got fully nuked, but she was allegedly trying to raise money for two people who were allegedly down on their luck with a gofundme.

Update: she mad

You're right. I took it too hard. I had my purse stolen yesterday and was in a bad mood. So I totally overreacted. And of course you guys don't know me. It's a natural reaction. Consider me chagrined at my own outburst.

lol, shes better at this than most reddit wannabe con artists

the sub is clearly designed to exploit the xpost feature to drive clicks to it, i guess she figured shed accumulated enough subs to move on to the next phase
