CENTRAL ISLIP, N.Y. (CBSNewYork) — The arraignment of a Long Island woman on fraud and other charges for allegedly faking a cancer diagnosis to support her heroin addiction was adjourned Wednesday until Thursday.

Brittany Ozarowski, 21, claimed to have ovarian, stomach, bone and brain cancer and solicited tens of thousands of dollars from people for more than a year to help pay for medical expenses, Suffolk County District Attorney Thomas Spota said.

But Spota said it was nothing more than just “a despicable scam.”

Woman Accused Of Faking Cancer Diagnosis

“There was no cancer, no chemotherapy, no radiation and no medical bills,” Spota said. “There was just heroin.”

Under the heading “Help Save My Life,” prosecutors said she posted pictures of herself sitting in a wheelchair on a website saying she had “few options left.”

On Ozarowski’s website, it says: “In September of 2011, I was diagnosed with stage two ovarian cancer as well as stomach cancer.”

It then goes on to say: “I was cancer free until they had found a tumor on my left hip in February 2012. That is when I found out that I have bone cancer. The cancer has spread to my spine as well as my brain.”

Ozarowski claimed treatments cost her $33,000 a day, Spota said.

Along with Ozarowski’s donation site, authorities said she also had a Facebook page sharing a lengthy story about a car crash that left her with severe injuries. More lies, according to police.

As CBS 2’s Jennifer McLogan reported, Ozarowski explained to former classmates at Newfield High School that her hair didn’t fall out due to special vitamins. Detectives said she forged letters and documents from doctors and hospitals to keep up the facade, McLogan reported.

Spota said many believed her story, including several businesses owners who allowed her to display collection jars and even sponsored a concert to raise cash.
