Anyone else seen this? http://news.yahoo.com/s/ap/20060412/ap_on_re_us/sextuplets_hoax Apparently, this couple went through with an elaborate scheme claming to be pregnant with and even having given birth to sextuplets in an attempt to make money! Wow! Of course, their little hoax was discovered (and at least one web site set up to accept donations in their name has already said all money donated will be refunded promptly). Crazy world, huh?

And here's a link to the original story about the fictitious six-pack, complete with names(Ezekial, Jacksen, Jakob, Kyle, Emma and McKenna) http://examiner.net/stories/041006/new_041006002.shtml

Just thought it was interesting ;)

It's just so sad to see what people will do. I saw this and to see the belly of this woman who was suppose to be expecting 6 babies, she appeared to be expecting one - nice pillow!! Just saddens me to hear about people prying on the good deeds and giving of others for their own selfish, illegal reasons.

OMG ... I didn't hear about him losing his job (and there is NO WAY he was in the dark LOL). I know at least one of the web sites set up in their name had already said they'd be returning all donations, so I'm guessing a lot of it hadn't actually reached their hands yet. I did see them mention her having faked multiple pregnancies and births before though. Bizarre.
