Today's fake: Woman says she wasn't really kidnapped

A northern Calif. woman has admitted her tale of being kidnapped and then left in a garbage bin after four days was a hoax. Actually, she just snapped, quit her job and hit the highway. The part about falling asleep in a dumpster and getting carted off to a dump was apparently true, however; her explanation of how she ended up there was not.

And halfway around the world, 13 Chinese workers were duped into paying for tickets to Dubai, where they were promised work. No jobs were there for them, and they hung around starving for two weeks before being sent home Sunday.
