Good Monday morning to you! We have an urgent update regarding our friend, Will Roberts of Ralph, AL.
While the 14-year-old continues to fight bone cancer like a champion and has important scans scheduled this week, his mom, Brittney, is sending out a critical warning to the entire community.
Scam Alert: Fake Facebook pages about Will are actively trying to defraud supporters.
🚨 The Mother’s Direct Warning
Brittney Roberts writes: “This is a fake page [referring to the pictures] that has been hidden from me seeing.”
The fraudulent accounts are spreading quickly: “In just two weeks they have over 1k followers and reporting horrible information to play on people’s emotions.”
These pages are specifically designed to scam loyal supporters. Brittney noted that they are even “giving an address to send items to. This is what is sad.”
Brittney’s main concern is protecting her community: “I don’t care how many fake pages pop up, I just don’t want the ones who support us to be scammed in any way. Be aware.”
🛑 How to Spot the Scam
Brittney provided clear instructions to followers:
- Avoid “Prayer Pages”: Brittney explicitly stated: “I am not setting up any ‘prayer page’… Just know we won’t be doing that.” Any page claiming to be an official prayer group is likely fraudulent.
- Only Trust Direct Sources: She pleaded, “Please—scroll past anything about Will that did not come directly from me or Rick Karle Good News.”
- Watch for Red Flags: These fake posts are often “distraught and full of heartache to get you to click”—playing directly on people’s emotions to generate traffic.
🫂 Rally Around the Real Family
The ONLY legit source for updates is Brittney’s personal account. If that account were compromised, information would be shared through Will’s father, Jason, or family member Frehley.
As we start a new week, let’s rally around Will, his parents Jason and Brittney, and his sister Charlie.
Please keep an eye out for these fake pages! You can always check trusted sources like this page for updates direct from the family.
