With all the heartwarming do-gooding shown on ABC’s ‘Extreme Makeover: Home Edition,’ it’s inevitable that con artists would want in on the action. According to E! Online, one family succeeded in fleecing the network.
E! alleges that the Cerda family, who appeared on the show in March 2009, conned ABC into building them a fancy new home specially equipped with air filtration systems for their two ailing daughters, who suffer from combined immunodeficiency disease. The problem: the daughters may not be sick after all.
The family moved from Las Vegas to Oregon, allegedly because they couldn’t keep up with house payments and medical bills. According to a comprehensive report in The Oregonian, the Cerdas tried to assemble a new medical team in their new hometown, but doctors there didn’t find anything wrong with the girls. In fact, they were so skeptical that they reported the Cerdas to child welfare services, who then took custody of the children.
