00:00Amanda Riley was a mother, wife, speaker at her church.
00:05Everybody loved her.
00:07She got diagnosed with cancer.
00:09I heard the words, you have stage 3 blood cancer.
00:13We thought she was God's gift.
00:20When Amanda told me she had cancer, I was so devastated.
00:24A beloved young Christian woman fighting a battle undeserved.
00:28We gave our hearts, our prayers.
00:30Everybody put their hands over her and said, heal this woman. Oh God, heal her.
00:35I'm thankful that I have cancer because I am now surrounded by the right people in my life.
00:40There was just something inside of me just saying, this isn't right.
00:44And then, all of a sudden, it went dark.
00:47She was a liar.
00:48Why would somebody fake cancer?
00:53Thousands of people threw money at her.
00:55I started donating $500 a month, $3,000, $20,000.
00:58The community raised $100,000.
01:01Everyone's lives has been touched by cancer and that was something Amanda tapped into.
01:07What surprised me is the lengths that she went to fake the cancer.
01:10There's all these pictures of her in the hospital with IVs, tubing.
01:14I could see a nurse in the background.
01:18The information that Amanda gave didn't make sense.
01:20These things are not adding up. I don't think she's sick.
01:26She was being accused of faking cancer.
01:30I could not believe the level she had taken this scam to.
01:33This is beyond disgusting.
01:38How can a mother do that?
01:40This is an absolute nightmare.
01:43She hurt tons of people.
01:46I've never felt so betrayed.
01:47She ripped apart my family.
01:49I'm sorry.
01:51I'm still shaking. Is this normal?
01:54Why would somebody fake such a horrible disease?
01:58It was only a matter of time until Amanda's whole world came tumbling down.
02:02Oh my God!
02:04I was like, ha, you're lying and you're getting caught.
02:08This is over.
02:09But it wasn't.
02:11We're not even close.
02:13Scamanda premieres January 30th on ABC and stream on Hulu.
