In Texas, Dallas and Houston specifically, a guy (posing as a girl named Ashley, I think) made a post the other day stating that his cat appeared to have been stabbed. I've been watching and wishing I could afford to help...it was really heartbreaking knowing that this kitty had to be in excruciating pain, if even still alive.
Something about him hearing it crying outside, he let it in and it ran under his dresser and after reaching to get the cat, he felt spurting blood from what appeared to be a stab wound. He went on to say "what do I do, I don't get paid for two weeks and the vet I normally take it to won't accept payments?".
After raising $87.00 from caring folks, he fessed up and said it was all a joke to earn beer money!
There's quite a few pissed off folks but there's nothing they can really do about it. I have worried about this cat for the last few days, feeling guilty that I couldn't help, and then I learn that it was all a scam! I can't imagine how those that actually donated felt...
Anyway, I just wanted to let folks now that you'll probably see this trend now. Just beware what you believe.
