Everyone was very sympathetic. It felt wonderful. I suddenly craved everyone's attention. That's when I posted as another person and told the group Jeanette was in a coma. Her first lie was met with a deluge of compassion. Jeanette became intoxicated. She'd spend hours online a day, answering the 50 or so emails that arrived from concerned well-wishers, and ultimately invented five different characters to embellish and sustain the deception if attention moved away from her.
Managing it all was demanding, she says. Jeanette carried on for seven months, killing off two of her personas in dramatic fashion. But when she had time away from her computer she began to think about what she was doing. I started feeling guilty. The people she'd been lying to were appalled, of course.
They told me they wished I would just die," she says. Two years on, Jeanette often gets messages from group members telling her they're still devastated by what she did to them. She is now receiving psychiatric help, and takes medication for depression. It can be almost impossible for online support groups to move on once they've found a faker in their midst, and some communities have been destroyed by the experience. They are supposed to be places of refuge for vulnerable people, and the trust on which they are based can be replaced by pervasive paranoia.
If there's no outright confession, the group can be divided in two, with one side supporting the suspect and the other demanding their exclusion from the community. With 1. One recent example involved a mother who'd been posting about her daughter's death in the bereavement forum, and was then found to have logged on using multiple identities, each with their own traumatic tale.

But Mumsnet's size makes it robust enough to bounce back from cases like this, and founder Justine Roberts takes a pragmatic approach to suspected scams. Given that most fakers vanish at the first murmurs of doubt, there's little opportunity for their mindset to be studied by psychiatrists, or for them to get the treatment they may need. MBI is a new concept, too new for the international psychiatric bodies who publish diagnostic criteria to have weighed in on whether it should be recognised as a distinct condition.
But for those who specialise in factitious disorder, the idea seems very plausible. Whether feigning illness online or in the real world, fakers are often profoundly disappointed when they're told they may be ill after all. After this you can walk around slowly, of course talking about how warm you feel. This will give the impression that you are experiencing cold sweats, a telltale sign of an illness. You can also reverse this trick and use warm water on your face giving a flushed appearance while complaining about how cold you are.
While attempting to fake a stomach illness of some sort, it is always wise to spend a lot of time in the bathroom. If you are in there for an extended period of time, most people will not question what it is you are doing in there because they really do not want to know.
The most important thing to take away from all of these tips is that the less you play it up, the more believable it is going to appear. Making a huge scene out of anything is going to make you look much more suspicious. It does not need to be a huge production and always remember that less is more.
