Maybe two years I'm on a board I still frequent and this girl faked her death. It was scandalous. We all believed it because her Myspace friends, the ones who actually knew her in the real world, were leaving their condolences on her Myspace page. So we all started grieving for her and because she's only a teenager. Then one of the cynics said he didn't believe she was dead and did this for attention. I and others said her real friends are grieving on her Myspace page. He still wouldn't believe it. Weeks passed and then it came out she lied and faked it all. So we assumed she either lied to her real world friends, or as someone mentioned, all those friends were really her so to pull this grande scheme. It's still talked about occasionally today.

Another board, on that same forum, had this actual convicted killer on there. She eventually got out of prison because her lawyer blamed it on her other split personality. She had so many alts on the board and just wanted the attention. So one day we got word she had died. We believed it because one of the now figured out alts produced an OBITUARY! She faked her death and had it run in her local paper so for her alt to post it on the board. It was eventually found out and she was fired from her job and her probation officer was notified.
