With false tales about having multiple sclerosis and more, an alleged grifter scammed numerous people out of more than $550,000 over a three-year period, prosecutors said.
An alleged grifter has been charged with conning dozens in Seattle’s comic book and LGBTQ scene out of more than half a million dollars with false tales about having multiple sclerosis and needing help with school costs and to bail a brother in jail, prosecutors said.
“She scandalously took advantage of their hard-earned money — all to satisfy her mercenary greed,” an FBI investigator wrote in a criminal complaint.““I lied. I lied because I have a shopping addiction which I developed as a coping mechanism over years of physical and emotional abuse.”” Taylor told her alleged victims that she would be able to pay them back later when she got a bonus from her job at a cancer research center, or when she received a payout on a litigation settlement with a local bank or from money from her parents.
In the end, Taylor never paid any of the money back, prosecutors said. Taylor later admitted to one victim that she had lied about her life story, according to court documents, citing messages she sent to the person.
