Today's fake™ has credulous neighbors

Courtesy Metafilter we have this wonderful story about a Louisiana woman who scammed neighbors for a million dollars by convincing them she was a CIA operative "who could have satellites scan people's bodies for disease, then have CIA agents administer secret medicines to them while they slept."

Sounds like a business just waiting for a daring entrepreneur. Can you see the vans pulling up to people's houses in the middle of the night? Of course, they'd get some of the addresses wrong and wind up administering meds to the wrong people. Comedy ensues.
