ULPT Request: Find a Meal Train site for a neighbor that faked cancer

Posted by MrStaraZagora@reddit | UnethicalLifeProTips | View on Reddit | 51 comments

Yeah, that's right, not a typo in the subject line. We have a sociopath in our neighborhood that faked cancer and has a meal train that the entire community has been contributing to. We found out about her psycho ways before she faked it, so obviously did not get invited to donate. Meal Train is not searchable, however. Is there any way to find her link so that I can warn people that haven't yet discovered she is a fraud?

this is not the unethical tip, but you should report this to the police. it’s fraud and if they’re getting meals then they’re probably getting other donations including money.

Agree, it's a felony.

The tax man cometh. And unlubed, like the dildo of consequences

Not just taxes- literal fraud. Faking a medical condition to solicit charity is fraud, and fraud often carries an even harsher punishment than outright theft of equal amounts, since it's inherently a premeditated crime.

This isn't just "Hey you owe us some tax money", this could literally land them years of jail time if they got more than like $1k or so worth of stuff.

Well, in this case the ULPT is call the police. Sociopaths tend to dig a hole deeper than to admit wrongdoing. Make sure you have the proper proofs, then go to the police. If they back off, call the news agencies. A good scandal brings eyeballs to their site.

Alternatively, sign up for the Meal service, and provide the absolutely shittiest meals possible. Dog food casseroles. Extra ghost peppers. Cake soaked in booze. A tiny bit of Syrup of Ipecac in the beverages. A drop of fox urine on the bottom of a dish. Nothing too hazardous, or you risk yourself. You're just a rotten cook.

Do you guys know how life changing a meal train would be for me?!? I would love for everyone to make sure the kids are fed and I don’t have to cook after work. That lady is life hacking! (Obviously, I know that this isn’t appropriate and likely has legal ramifications)

I’m not sure why you got downvoted for this. This economy has had me feeling similarly as desperate sometimes. It’s not like you said you were gonna do it.

I’ve been struggling with a debilitating health condition and would love to have this so that my caregiver had more time to help me with other things, on her days off, for variety, cost, or so I didn’t have to eat TV dinners. Especially after I visited my old neighbor yesterday and she made me a huge plate of food. I had to move out of the neighborhood I’ve lived in for so long and everyone looked after me. I’m so lonely and homesick.

Sunday I was leaving and saw the Mormon missionaries walk past me to probably another house and was so tempted to ask them to help me carry my bag to my car downstairs because I was so tired before even leaving and struggle physically (and this was on one of my very good days). I thought of calling the church to ask if they volunteer and was even willing to join their church if it meant a sense of community and getting help.

Hang in there. It always gets worse before it gets better. Just remember that. Also know that there are so many of us similarly struggling. Eventually we’ll have to start building a community again and helping each other to survive is my prayer. Individualism isn’t working.

I have a friend who got some Mormon missionaries who showed up at his door to load an 80” TV into his moving truck. They are supposed to do stuff like that for anyone who asks and you can listen to their nonsense proselytizing or tell them to keep it to themselves. He told them his wife was interested in knowing more about the church and they could talk to her when they were done, but he only did that to prank her. 😂

I looked it up and it said that they don’t ex-communicate you if you stop going to the church or aren’t into so I thought about trying it. Why does everyone say it’s a cult?

[-]

bencos18@reddit

they actively encourage family members etc to ignore and shun you if you do iirc

[-]

whteverusayShmegma@reddit

That’s what I always heard but when I looked it up it said that’s not common practice. Only if you do something big or egregious.

[-]

bencos18@reddit

either way given what I've heard from people who left that one I don't trust them

banshithread@reddit

Yeah it's fraud and you will end up having to pay back for all the shit you stole through your lies.

[-]

raison_de_eatre@reddit

Oh really you know of a case in case that was prosecuted. Over meals. Cause it was fraud and fraud is illegal.

Hilarious proportion of just-world-fantasizing bootlickers in this sub

[-]

banshithread@reddit

No it's on par with receiving gifts by telling someone you've got cancer. Receiving gifts through lies is theft by deception aka fraud.

[-]

SGlanzberg@reddit

Yes, hence why I acknowledge that very that in my very comment.

Maybe try _talking_ to your neighbors? The ones BEING scammed.

[-]

AssDimple@reddit

that's a GREAT idea. Thanks for THIS.

Create burner accounts on social media to warn people.

[-]

Dagr0nScaler@reddit

Create burner accounts to reach out to the faker saying you heard their story from someone “at church” and you “felt called to help” and ask for the meal train link.

You could find some asbestos and then fake some paperwork from the original homebuilder saying the insulation in their house has a recall them reinsulate their house with asbestos and poke holes in the ducting while you're up there to give them real cancer.

[-]

i-am-foxymoron@reddit

I've never heard of "mealtrain".

[-]

fap-on-fap-off@reddit

Neighbors volunteering to make meals day after day for a household in crisis (illness, death typically)

[-]

Mysterious_Cow_2100@reddit

Or when someone has a baby! That’s usually friends and family, tho.

[-]

asyouwish@reddit

.com is one.

PuppyJakeKhakiCollar@reddit

Warn them by posting on every neighborhood site you can think of. Facebook, Nextdoor, Ring Neighbors, etc. Someone may even provide the link to the meal train page so you can contact them as well. And while you're at it, check GoFundMe and make sure she isn't scamming there either.
