i had a "freind" of mine do this. She didn't want any money, but did waste a significant amount of everyone's time. i think people do this sort of thing for the attention. don't get me wrong i'm sure he likes the money too, i mean 10,000 dollars in one year is a lot of money for a hipster.
my experience went from fake backstories, to fake over the weekend surgeries, to faked doctors notes, the whole show. i once called her mom and was like hey how's kelsey's treatments going? and he mom is like "what did she tell you?" "that she has cancer" "oh dear" and she hangs up.haven't spoken to her in years. i assume she thought we wouldn't hang out with her if we didn't pity her, and she was right.
to sum up my point, i suspect this is more compulsive liar than it is master con-man.
