Illegal Ecuadoran immigrant, Delores Rodas, with 0 medical training brought a couple to her apt in the Bronx to perform various procedures on them and surgery on the wife to help them reproduce. She scammed them out of $50,000 and jeopardized their lives. Authorities fear 100's of couples were ripped off. Pretty bad, but I am sure some here at mylot will say she had to make money to survive.

When someone gets scammed,they lose more than just the money.I understand they wanted children,but there are respectable companies out there who could help them(no guarantees though) that have credentials.I presume the scammer had paper on the wall etc.,but if I am going to put out that money I would be doing my homework.

If she was legal, I'm sure there are other means to make money, just show you illegal doesn't work for no one. The couple that she scammed, paid allot of money? Wander why they didn't go to a legal institute.

No way, thats a very biased opinion of mylotters. though we sure are looking for ways to make mopney but we arew not ripping off someone and we are niether jeopardising any livesby our activities. What this woman did was completely unethical and illegal. I hope they put her behind bars for a long long time.

It's hard to believe that someone would give an unauthorized person that much money for a procedure that must have been very risky. I think Rodas should be incarcerated.
