Facebook Scammer Poses as Decapitated Man’s Sister

This is a crazy story!!!

 

Tim McLean on the evening of July 30th was beheaded on a Greyhound Bus.  The 22-year-old Canadian who was going home after working as a carnival worker was simply sleeping when a knife entered his body.

 

To add to the horror of this story a scammer set up a Facebook and a PayPal account where people could donate money to ‘cover funeral costs’.

 

Here’s the catch!!!

 

Tim McLean’s family had already set up a donation program to cover his funeral costs and it was not through PayPal but a different banking institution. 

 

Now Tim McLean’s family is having to deal with two tragedies.  My deepest condolences go out to his family.
