Iraqi Soldier Scam

A lady from Marion, IL is at the center of a scam in which she apparently has duped The Daily Egyptian newspaper and a number of churches with a false drama of a little girl missing her soldier Dad who was serving in Iraq. This woman hired two actors to play the roles of the soldier and the girl, even fooling them about the nature of her filming. The fictional Dad was even "killed" in Iraq. It looks like she may have been using the scam to receive money from those who pitied the little girl. Watch this story go from regional to national. For more, click here and here.
