Ex-Boyfriend Says Westchester Woman Lied About Having Cancer In Scam
ARDSLEY, N.Y. (CBSNewYork) New allegations surfaced Sunday night that a Westchester County mother faked having cancer to con people out of thousands of dollars.
As CBS2s Brian Conybeare reported exclusively, the womans former boyfriend is now coming forward to make the sunning admission claiming he had no idea she made the whole thing up.
With her bald head, Shivonie Deokaran certainly looked like a cancer patient in 2015. Generous people in the Westchester County village of Ardsley using GoFundMe pages and a spaghetti dinner at the local firehouse raised more than $60,000 to help the single mother of two teenage boys when she claimed she had only 18 months to live because of leukemia and a tumor.
But now, in an exclusive interview, Nikhlesh Parekh Deokarans longtime boyfriend admitted it was all a scam.
