This post is an attempt to archive and sort out the whole LillyAnn mess, which began when a popular member of Plurk began taking up collections for medical emergencies that were misrepresented. Subsequent investigations of her activities turned up many inconsistencies, lies, and a whole lot of plagiarism. The archived Plurk thread is here.
UPDATE: i've tucked away yesterday's list in the "read more" area, and will briefly attempt to summarize the latest developments here. If you've not been following the LillyAnn Plurk story, this will make zero sense to you.
If my search had not turned up extravagant and sometimes conflicting claims of education, credentials, and life circumstances, I'd never have given this a second thought.
On the Plurk page, people continue to discover inconsistencies that suggest that the person creating all the pages with LillyAnn's information on them, has been taking content from elsewhere and presenting it as his/her own.
on July 10, LillyAnn's daughter posted on Plurk that her mom had been taken to the hospital, and needed money for dialysis. A subsequent Plurk in which confusing information was offered, has been deleted. This plurk has accumulated around 1,000 responses including extensive discussion as to the validity of the claims being made. The daughter has not responded to this plurk since last night but has posted elsewhere on Plurk today.
Initial requests for assistance referred to the paypal account here, which is also linked from the 'Newsletter re: Health Problems' linked below, which had been used in previous requests for assistance.
The daughter has stated that she is not allowed on social media, but has navigated the social web with some skill, posting requests for assistance on Twtter, Plurk, and (stating she had assistance), set up a ChipIn.com page which has, at this writing, collected $297.50. DaveJazzHands Stumbled and Dugg this ChipIn page and stated in his Stumble review that "For those desiring more information or creditials, please visit << http://www.selfgrowth.com/experts/lilly_calandrello.html >> or << http://www.linkedin.com/in/lillycalandrello >>. Additionally, feel free to contact me and I will be happy to assist." It should be noted that he has reportedly responded to inquiries he is "not comfortable" giving out details such as which hospital Lilly is in.

@RohanPinto stated that he phoned Lilly's house, that a girl named Heather answered, and did not know of a Gabrielle.
@CeeDubb confronted @RohanPinto about something that LillyAnn had told him, that she had provided phone counseling services to RohanPinto, and that his e-check had bounced. @RohanPinto then provided screen caps of PayPal transactions.
@Cylithria has contacted the local authorities in Hammond, IN, to check on the welfare of Lilly. They confirmed she has received dialysis and is staying with friends.
@Talespinner stated that he was one of the first to donate and sent $100 through PayPal.
