SB makes a lot of sense. Besides, I've heard of scams that involved making donations to PayPal before. And that was enough for me to stay away from sending anything to the person on HA.
It's been a rough day. I got up this morning ... put a shirt on and a button fell off. I picked up my briefcase, and the handle came off. I'm afraid to go to the bathroom.
well i dont really know the last but last time i read on HA she was looking for money to buy the ticket for her mother to visit her in hospital....mmmmhhhh call me cynic but i dont buy anything they said...it looks to me just scam...bur who am i? just 800 pounds gorilla

When I read some of the posts on HA yesterday, I believe they were a little soured that although some ppl had made donations(they didn't state a $$ amount), only about 2-3 ppl had even sent get well cards.

Stogie is pouring some more gas on the fire! He just posted that perhaps more people are onto the scam so there are not that many cards coming in.
Things still very unclear about what is real. The comments about no laptops in the hospital because it interferes with equipment is completely wrong. In fact several hospitals are beginning to use laptops routinely.
Also there was a posting by the "friend" that Miriam was interviewed by the Sun newspaper from UK, but she was not sure when the story was going to be published. Those forum members in the UK please keep an eye out for it.
There was an initial request for money to fly Miriam's mother from Mexico, now no mention of her mom coming able to visit.
Another separate thread has been started regarding "Miriam being deleted from history" and this is related to the ongoing changes of Miriam's entry in Wikipeida.
Anyway, speedy recovery wishes to whoever is in those photos!
Reading the Hung Angels Forum for a while makes me appreciate ATS Forum a whole lot more!

I think it is quite telling that Alannah Starr et al have shut the fuck up and are nowhere to be found regarding Miriam.
No pictures of Alannah with Miriam that I have seen... wonder why?
Perhaps there is more to the story than we know. I wonder if it really was Susan Shah or Camilla de Castro redux... Tragic, but not the sympathy laden drama of being attacked and thrown from a window. Besides, who tries to kill someone by throwing them out a 4th floor window? Seems like an ineffective method that is sure to draw alot of attention.
What I don't understand is why they haven't bothered to tell anyone which hospital she's in and which room. That way ppl can either call and ask about her. Or even stop by and wish her well in person. If it were a private room then she could always request that no visitors be allowed. But you would think she'd be flattered that her fans would be willing to stop by and wish her well.
BTW, Stogie is right...about the newspaper thing I mean. No newspapers in NYC pick up on an attack on a TS who has been the subject of a TV reality show. And yet the accidental death of Anna Alexandre and the engagement of Korean transgender singing artist are practically front page news.
What's wrong with this picture?

One of the latest posts on HA as regards the Miriam controversy; courtesy of Alison Faraday:
"Hello, I've been privately requested to comment and have a view on this.
Up until this point I simply don't care. I don't know Miriam. I don't actually know very many of you. And when things happen to you, me, my friends, you just have to deal with it. Everyday people do not drop everything and come rushing in their droves to help you. It just doesn't work that way. Unless of course you're stunningly beautiful and have a following of people who regularly wank while thinking about you, and still they don't come. The fact is; very few know Miriam. And neither do I.
Personally I think that this is a terrible thing to happen to someone. And someone who was taken advantage of by the media, and then spat out once they'd finished with them. There's nothing I can do about it though. That's the way it goes. She appeared on other shows here in UK and the hosts could afford to pay her costs 10,000x over. But they don't.
There's this belief that this person, whom in actual reality we don't know, might be fake. Well so what. I have to say though that it's a bit far fetched to be fake, come on. And even if it is, you're just as likely to be ripped off next time you buy something on eBay, so in the grand scheme of things what does it matter.
What do you want her to do? Go on public television in her bandages and casts, with a Frankenstein metal bar through her neck? WTF do you want? A website maybe detailing her recovery? Would that encourage a few sign ups, grovelling for the dregs of a few dollars, desperately begging? How about a webcam next to her hospital bed?
If there's one thing I know about Allanah, whom I barely know apart from exchanging an email or two; She is a brilliant manager of her position, absolutely brilliant. And she would not be daft enough to endorse something like this if it wasn't true. Sorry, just doesn't happen. So therefore it's genuine.
With Miriam laying in a hospital bed, with bills mounting up, maybe lost her appartment already, how is she going to feel? When you're in a hospital bed not alot of what is going on out there matters. So ultimately she would swtich off and just focus as best she on the most immiediate purpose, recovering.
I've read it all, and switched off to the endless drivel and emotional crap coming out of people. Oh please! FFS, get a life. That doesn't so much apply to HA which overall is relatively balanced, it applies to some of the other forums out there. TVs in their flowery frocks and clip on earings waving their arms about in the air saying how awful and terrible scary wary it is. Get a life!! Either do something or shutup. People are saying things out there to sound popular and to be part of the *in* crowd.
I feel sorry for Miriam, and I don't know her. I feel sorry for alot of people; Mothers who are locked up for killing their children when they didn't at all; Men accused of rape when they weren't even there. Where does it end? Miriam is just another person in the world. That's it. I'm not cold. I'm balanced. If she lived in the next city to me I'd go and say hello, but she doesn't. If I saw you in the street I'd help you. As I would be able and in a position to do so.
And if I decide to send her $10 to a PayPal account, then will I expect a thank you? No! She's in hospital to recover, not to answer fan mail and nurse bruised egos.
Just finally. There are people who join my site to send a little bit of cash my way (thank you) and it helps pay for things like lasering and alike. So if you wish to help Miriam without getting drawn into this big moral debate totalling oh, some 24-pages!!, then just join her website. The number of lurkers in the background here totals 1000's (hello to all of you) so if each of you wishes to make a difference then just join her site.
Does she have a paysite which is owned by her? Could someone post it if she does please?"

More mysterious things happening with the post about Miriam in HA forum. The post about "Confirmation of the Attack on Miriam" has been unpinned, and gone into the general forum discussions. It has also had some posts deleted that questioned whether or not this is a real situation or not.
Another odd thing was that the original post "Conformation" of Miriam in Hospital, has been moved to the mods lounge - you can spot this if you do a search of Miriam on the forum. This is the one that originally had her photos.
there are questions sure but the strange thing is that she never posted anything and she is also a pretty famous model but no tv programs no magazines say a thing.
she is also well fitted into the system and for sure she was making enough money,so something has happened to her for sure.

It's a fake and a scam for money. I'm certain of that.
Stogie, you savage beast, beating a dead horse. Oh wait, dead...nix that. Horse...nix that. Stogie, you savage beast, beating up on a fake Mexican fake woman. Is that grammatically correct? A fake fake Mexican woman?
Retired the top 12. Need a new dirty dozen.
Update: The new list is coming together: Nong Poy, Anita, Nok, Gif, Liisa Winkler, Kay, Nina Poon. Is it possible to find 5 more? Until then, GGs: Jessica Alba, Yuko Ogura, Zhang Ziyi, Maggie Q, and Gong Li.
This is an old story, but it's not quite to the point of digging up Seanbeag's time machine. Came across an interesting video on Youtube about the incident.
