GoFundMe Shuts Down Fake Page Pretending To Be Gorilla Glue Girl Tessica Brown

GoFundMe Shuts Down Fake Page Pretending To Be Gorilla Glue Girl Tessica Brown

Don't give anyone claiming to be her your money

GoFundMe has suspended a fake fundraising page from someone pretending to be Tessica Brown, the woman who put a load of Gorilla Glue into her hair.

You remember that, right? Well, she eventually went to a doctor to get it all shifted, but it goes without saying that it was something of an ordeal for her, and you definitely shouldn't try to replicate her experience.

Another thing that you shouldn't do - but it appears someone has - is pretend to be her on the internet hoping to make $25,000 in fake 'medical bills'.

That's exactly what someone as done, according to TMZ.

On that fraudulent page, they wrote: "Please help me with my medical bills, once the doctors and hospitals thought I was getting money off the other GoFundMe they decided to charge me.

It continued: "Please help, I don't have this kind of money.

"The money I have left over from the other GoFundMe will be used however it is not much because I already donated half of it."

Luckily, it seems as if GoFundMe managed to cop onto this scam and deleted the page when it had only raised $500 of the $25,000 goal.

On the page, a fake bill was shared too, and that appeared to back up the claims. However, it's obviously all a load of lies.

Those who did donate obviously didn't notice that the GoFundMe page was trying to raise $25,000, whereas the bill showed that medical costs up to around $200,000 were owed, too.

Tessica - the real one - is doing OK these days, having had the Gorilla Glue removed from her hair.

She's even managed to get herself a manager - Gina Rodriguez - who told TMZ that she doesn't need money and has deals, dance business work, and daycare stuff going on to pay for everything she needs.

So, if you see someone trying to raise money claiming to be her, for your own sake you shouldn't give any cash to it, because it'll just be some scammer claiming to be her.

Funny how the world works these days, isn't it?

She did recently have a bit of a cancer scare though, after her doctor - the same one who removed the Gorilla Glue - discovered some lumps on her breasts during a routine pre-surgery check ahead of a breast augmentation procedure.

Mercifully, the lumps turned out to be nothing to worry about, and were just some benign - non-cancerous - cysts.

This news was confirmed by her representative to SurvivorNet.
