A British woman who defrauded her husband’s family out of thousands of dollars after telling them she was dying from cancer has been sentenced to two years in prison.
In late 2012, Clare Bain of Bolton, U.K., told her husband’s family that the National Health Service had made a mistake and that she had cancer, for which they owed her £230,000 ($307,648), according to The Bolton News. She told her husband she only had three months to live.
