Just wondering if anyone else had gotten hoodwinked by Allie/Lucy Lu.

In a nutshell a person using her dogs name for a page (Lucy Lu) friended me a month or two ago, since she was friends with a zillion other dog friends of mine I accepted, then I joined a sewing group she started. No biggie I did not have any interactions with her and my facebook page is mostly about Lola so friending all these dog pages is normal for me. A few days after I joined the sewing group I started seeing tons of posts on how she died, a few people were contacted or so they claim by her husband. People were alluding to how she was fighting cancer but was brave and did not complain about it. Well this Lucy Lu character apparently had tons and tons of followers, always posting inspirational stuff and photos of her pups, primiarly maltese. I have never seen such an outpouring of sadness, 100's of people posting how much she meant to them and how sad they were and how much they were crying. I posted something like wow sorry I did not have a chance to get to know her.

Earlier this evening I started seeing posts how it was all a farce that someone made this person up, created her profile along with several other fake profiles. The fake Lucy Lu even started a popular Maltese page, I think it was called Spoiled Maltese (it's closed now). Some of these profiles were well past a year old and were very active. I realize this goes on, but normally one does it it's to pump their image up, but in this case it was a low key persona and they were posting very caring, kind and inspirational stuff.

I find the whole thing very odd and am glad I did not follow her and get emotionally involved with this person like so many others had. I could not help but wonder if anyone else was a FB friend of "Lucy Lu"
