Scamanda: The Amanda Riley Story – The Investigation That Exposed a Cancer Fraud

What if the person you were donating to—someone fighting for their life against cancer—was lying all along? Amanda Riley, a beloved wife, mother, and blogger, convinced hundreds of people that she was battling Hodgkin’s lymphoma. With heartbreaking updates, emotional pleas, and staged hospital visits, she built a web of deception that spanned years. But behind the carefully curated social media posts and charitable donations was a lie too big to hide forever.

For nearly a decade, Amanda Riley manipulated the kindness of friends, family, and strangers, raising over $100,000 to fund a life that was never in jeopardy. Her blog, Lymphoma Can Suck It, became a hub for well-wishers and donors, all unaware that they were fueling one of the most shocking medical frauds of the internet age. But when whispers of doubt surfaced, a relentless investigation began—one that would ultimately bring her to justice.

This gripping true-crime book unravels the shocking details of Riley’s deception, the victims left in its wake, and the investigative work that exposed her fraud. From the first suspicions to the federal case that landed her in prison, Scamanda is a chilling reminder of how easily social media can be weaponized to manipulate and exploit.

Perfect for fans of The Dropout and Bad Blood, Scamanda takes readers deep into the mind of a scammer who feigned terminal illness for personal gain. With exclusive insights and expert analysis, this book reveals the full story of how Amanda Riley fooled the world—and how the truth finally caught up with her.
