The Embezzler
Reddit user EvieAnn’s mom had a co-worker who was like an extended member of the family, or so they all thought. But eventually they all learned that the woman was not who she appeared to be.
“My mom worked with this woman Debbie. She was nice and had no family herself, so she hung out with us a lot—she was with us on Thanksgiving. One day, Debbie disappears. Turns out, Debbie isn’t even her real name, and everything she ever said was a lie, and she had done this several times, pretending to be different people and scamming them.
She took my mom’s boss for about a half million dollars, embezzling from his company. They found her months later, after she had passed away. It was the craziest thing I’ve ever seen in real life.”
