Kudos to those people that mondy up extravagant sob stories that are so insanely convincing that people actually fall for. People who rely on audacious sob stories to get what they want from other people seriously need to take it down a couple notches. Not cool, Joanne. Irvi Torremoro is an Austinite by way of Las Vegas. She runs flavorandbounty. Search Search for: Search. These 21 crazy sob stories turned out to be fake: 1. I used to have this customer come in with coupons that were like 2 months expired and try to use. This was Borders, we had a new dtory every other day. Anyway she would give this sob story about how her son has cancer and she has spent the last several months in the hospital with him, they would always give in and let stofy use her expired coupon. I was friends with her son and he did have cancer… Six years ago.
