A 31 year old man went around the internet pretending to be a Harvard graduate plastic surgeon and conned women out of $50,000. Since 2007, he lied on his mini-homepage about his educational background and joined communities by uploading pictures of himself in a fake Harvard lab coat and passing out fake business cards.

He even studied medical terms and went on charity trips with other doctors in the community, completely fooling them with his knowledge. He'd fool girls into believing him by meeting up with them at random hospitals and acting like he was just getting off his shift.

He was caught once he promised a woman A that he'd leave for America with her only to disappear. A reported him to the police and he was caught. He turned out to be an unemployed junior high school graduate.

10. [+197, -17] That man is pathetic but the women are just as pathetic for falling for him just for being a doctor. He should've looked for a job in the time he spent creating that lie.
