We've all faked an illness before to get out of work or school. If you do it for a day or two here it's not that terrible. We'll do it before, and honestly we'll do it again.
Well how how getting time off work by faking an entire pregnancy? How about two?
A 43-year-old woman in Georgia named Robin Folsom was employed for the state of Georgia as a Director of External Affairs. Back in October 2020, she told HR that she was pregnant and was due in May. She was then given seven weeks of paid leave.
Well, her coworkers started growing suspicious because the pictures she was sending of her "new baby" had "varying skin tones" according to Fox 5 in Atlanta.
The office then conducted an investigation, after which it was determined Folson had NOT given birth that May, was never pregnant, and in fact had pulled this scheme before!
She falsely claimed to have given birth in July of 2020!
Folsom was just indicted on three felony counts of making false statements, and is also facing a charge of one count of identity fraud, also a felony.
