Initially, Débora pretended that she was facing leukemia and always said that she was not feeling well. The receptionist of the same company reported to the CNN the woman was bleeding ears and through her nose, allowing the story to penetrate even her suffering.
“We were very touched and very afraid of losing our colleague, so we made crowdfunding, raffles and donations for her”, reported the receptionist. After the case, the workers collected money so that the friend would have financial support, in order to help her in the process; however, the scammer refused company to go to the doctor.
After the denouncement, Tibério Cardoso, the Pirenópolis police chief, said that Débora asked to take time off from work to carry out some treatments. Some time later, she returned with some parts of her body covered with plasters.
The girl's boyfriend became suspicious of the action and began to investigate the facts, but found no evidence that the girlfriend was actually facing the disease. After the discovery, the workmates sought the police, as the woman still refused to present the medical examinations.
The employees contacted the Hospital Araújo Jorge, where Débora claimed to be treated. Astonished, colleagues discovered that the “patient” was not in the local treatment system. The same group that called the hospital he started to confront Débora. As a result, the scammer no longer went to work.
“We were shaken by this story, we suffered psychologically and financially”, said the guy at the reception. After being discovered by her own colleagues, the woman fled the city, having deceived about 200 people.
