A California woman told NBCLA she was furious when she confronted a man asking for funeral donations for her son—who is not in the least dead.

She told the news outlet she caught the unidentified solicitor on video recently in Monrovia, holding a sign with a photo of her son and the words, “PLEASE HELP FUNERAL COST BROTHER PASSED.” The woman did not want her name revealed, nor that of her son, but she assured reporters he is still very much alive.
