You knew it would surely happen. When the feds started handing out money to people displaced by Katrina, it was only a matter of time before someone got caught cheating the system. Tiffany Signal of Raleigh claimed to be homeless because she "lost her home" in Katrina. She conveniently didn't have ID because it was "lost in the storm", too. Her real neighbors in Raleigh told police they "knew she was going to lie to the Red Cross". Signal is now a guest of Wake County -- under $3,000 bond.
How many more "victims" out there will be found out to be scammers? Probably more than we even imagine.
