Comment on Anon gets a call from his past

that’s gotta be a scam or something… like, the woman stole some of his actual kid’s DNA from his trash, then submitted that Gattaca-style to fake the father.

i hope i didn’t just invent a new scam….
seems kinda more plausible, actually, otherwise why would she wait 16 years to cash in?
a suppose the kid being 16 would guarantee no custody battle, at least.

if that’s not an internet fantasy “a good friend”, i hope he has that dna double-checked against his own kids or double checked or something… a scammer would want to be across state lines too, as federal child support is better than a lot of states (after heard of a parent moving across state lines right after a split for this…)

It’s possible she got knocked up from a spring break fling and never knew who the father was. Years later, she could have submitted her kids DNA to 23 and Me and got a match.

  all sorts of things are possible… i feel like i would remember a fling, but i have been fully blacked out before… i always had friends there to tell me stories of how dumb i was, so i probably didn’t father any kids i don’t know about….
  but if some kid showed up out of the blue id be skeptical, hire a private detective and get extra third party testing…
  well i would if i had enough money to be worth suing over….

Yeah they went through all the hoops, kid was his. Custody wasn’t a thing due to distance and being estranged for so long. Idk, you’d think something would be in the system to prevent it but it exists. Thankfully it didn’t cause issues with his current wife, and obviously his kids knowing didn’t need to be a thing. Basically just picked up a bill. Really is disgusting, and the chick that did it had like 2 or 3 kids, all different dads. So yeah, genetic scammer I guess?

  so crazy that he didn’t know the woman….
  i suppose she could’ve drugged and raped him for a genetic scam, but it seems like a big chance to take… she’d have to know he had money, and to wait a long time wouldn’t make sense….
  not to say he wasn’t raped just because she was predatory.
  chances are some blackout, bar bathroom screw or something he forgot.
  this is one reason i don’t get fully drunk anymore. anything could happen while you’re not in control, but you’re still responsible for what you did…. but i could totally have some kid from a forgotten woman in college.
