What is the biggest lie anyone ever told you?

Question

A friend in high school lied to me about having a disease that couldn't be diagnosed and she was going to die from it unless they figured out what was wrong.

Answer 1

This is hard as many have been told, but the one that had the worst effect was from the internet as follows.

I was new on the internet .

Started to talk to a women on chat who was needing help with life problems, talked for weeks, became very friendly.
Met up each night and every day, chatted, started to talk on phone, after a year, photos were swopped, mine just normal family pics of me and kids, hers were wonderful, pro photos. I asked her why they were like this, and did just have any normal ones, of her and her little girl and horses that she said she owned!
Always told that she had not had time to put them on pc, but would.
she said that her photos were from her portfolio as she was a model, and star, but did not want to tell me at first as wanted me to like her for her!
She started calling all time saying she was going to take my family on holiday to spain, we said no of course.
Then she said she had bought us a car, i said do not be stupid, we do not want a car from you, feeling all this very odd now.
I got very concerned, as we had now know each other to talk to for 2 years, and were close friends, talked about so much, on phone.
Then it came about she said she had a large house near where we live, 5 bedrooms and a horse yard that needed looking after as she had been let down by someone who she employed and the house came with the job, she wanted me to have it all and work for her.
I said no over and over, but after months of her saying how the house was just going to waste, and she needed someone she trusted, i started to believe her.
she sent me in real post, all information, pictures, everything, it was all very real!
We talked as a family all with concerns, and thought why should we suspect her, she has done nothing to harm us, talked for years, sent little gifts in post for kids and we to her also, we were close friends, and sometimes good things do happen, so we said ok.
The next week, she called to say that in a couple of hours a car was being delivered as a gift, and she was not taking no as an answer this time, i said no, could not accept it, but she said it was all in my name, and paid for.
i did not know what to do, and ended up waiting in as she was not answering her phone when i called her back. It all seemed so unreal now, yet real also, if you know what i mean...
anyways i got very distressed, and i called her mum, as i knew her mums name and address, but had never talked to her.
She said her daughters name was not what she had told me, she had no horses, no job, no house yet alone a big house going spare, was not who i describbed in the pictures she sent me, and was a drug addict who was very lonely and had no life, but it was the same women as she had done the same to others, her mum said how sorry she was.
After a few weeks i was called and told by her how sorry she was, and she sent me a very long letter saying that she did not trust people and so made up stories, but i had helped her so much by being her friend and listening to her she felt bad, but did not know how to stop the lies she had started.

I cried for many days, not for being lied to, but for being stupid and i feel driven to blindness of the sittuation by matterilistic hopes and what if's.

i have never made friends with any one else on the internet since that, in 5 years, and never go in to chat rooms or anything like that ever again.

I am a kind person who is hard working and will help anyone in need, but this changed me.

Not one thing was real the whole friendship was based on lies, every thing she had ever told me, even about where she had been to lunch , and things that she had bought that day, for years... still unbelivable to this day.

I have a few that I consdier all #1 in my mind..

1. I was raped by so and so.. had her whole family involved and the cops turned out to be 100% not ture. She confessed that is was a lie. :(

2. He was not married or involved in anyway.. after 3 months of seeing eachother and often no reason for me to think he was involved he calls me at work to say he needs to be honest with me because he has strong feelings for me.. he was married and he had a 2 yr old son:( :( BYE, BYE to him..

3. Is terminally ill not sure how long to live. this was a online girl I was talking to for a long time we talked for hours by phone almost everyday.. I considered hera friend come to find out it was all a lie :(

Answer 3

My friend once called me up balling her eyes out saying that the reason she wasn't in school was because she was at the doctors. I asked why and she said that (Well, I forgot the disease she said) her heart was going to stop and she only had a week to live. I told my mom about it and she was rather skeptic. Turned out she was joking. I didn't talk to her for a week she had me going so good.

Answer 4

The biggest lie ever told me was that in order to suceed you have to pay dues by suffering for your art. What is actually required to make dreams come true is to just truly, truly believe they will manifest and keep on the path!
Oh and most of the crap guys tell you is just to get the London bridge to drop!

Answer 5

The biggest lie that I have been told was by a friend who's son I used to babysit. She said her aunt had a heart attack, then a stroke and then she died and they left town and went 4 hours away. And then about 3 weeks later she told me the same aunt died.
