There are only 8 more days until Christmas, so people should be on guard against scam artists who use the holiday season to defraud well-intentioned people. However, some scams are more obvious than others, and this GoFundMe shared in a 413 (Springfield) yard sale page might be the most despicable one of all time.

“Toys for special needs children.”

Sounds pretty specific. Any details in the explanation Zachary Rosenberger?

“I am raising money for Toy’s to give special needs children.”

He’s raising money to buy toys to give to those two kids in the picture. Who are they? Not sure. How will the toys get to them? Who knows. But it sure sounds like something a desperate junkie would write if they were trying to scam people around Christmas time.

A quick reverse image search shows that Zachary Rosenberger used a stock image that you can find by Googling “special needs kids.”

Here’s one site I found it on.

What makes it even worse is that by the looks of his Facebook page he has his own child, who likely is getting used to Santa coming up short every year.

Although he doesn’t care for his own child, he does have plenty of money to spend on the essentials for himself. Essentials like weed.

Because….priorities.

He’s posted before about being arrested.

What was his crime?

Ddriving around Springfield with two African guys committing identity fraud, running up credit card bills while driving a UHaul truck rented under fraudulent pretenses.

Officers smelled marijuana inside the vehicle and searched the SUV. They found two small clear bags with what was suspected to be marijuana. Also found inside the SUV were six department store credit cards, an HP laptop, and a new cell phone. Okorie told police that the marijuana in the SUV belonged to him. When asked for his name and identification, Awosika gave police a false name and birth date. His identity was later confirmed through contacting Springfield police who had Awosika’s information on record.

Standard Springfield behavior.

It’s one thing to use your own kids to scam people around the holidays, but using stock images of special needs to kids to fuel your habits makes you an absolutely awful human being, and well deserving of public scorn and shame.
