One time we had a newer client and she says,
I'm speaking with an expectant mom but something seems off.
Her name is Kyndra and she wants to place her baby.
I immediately called the number.
There was a voicemail.
Gabby had created a recording that said,
"Hi, this is Kyndra.
"I'm not at the phone right now."
The same sad, typical voice of Gabby,
I knew it was her immediately.
Now we know that she did steal someone's identity.
She's just terrible.
It has to stop.
Okay, I'm talking today about a woman named Gabby
who has tricked countless couples in multiple states
into thinking that she has a baby for them to adopt.
Now Gabby recently took her scheme to the next level
by stealing the identity of a young woman
and that young woman is here today.
Gabby stole my pregnancy test photos,
my pregnancy bump update photos,
and my ultrasounds all off of social media.
This is my 22-week pregnancy bump photo
and it's one of the photos
that Gabby had taken from my social media.
I found this out about a week and a half ago.
I had a woman reach out to me saying
that she had been duped using my photos.
It's devastating to think that there is somebody out there
that received this photo of me
thinking that it was going to be a child
that they were going to adopt to make their family complete.
I couldn't comprehend why anybody would do that.
I have not personally met Gabby.
I didn't even know who she was before all of this happened.
I know there was at least 10 couples
that were duped using my photos.
I tried to take legal action
but the police said since it was over social media,
nothing could be done.
I reached out directly to Gabby about the incident.
She denied all accusations.
I'm 24 weeks pregnant.
This whole situation has been very stressful.
I came all the way to California from South Carolina
so that I can do something about this.
I'm extremely terrified that Gabby will find out
where I live and try to take my baby.
I'm also terrified that a couple that got duped
will show up to take my child, thinking
that they had already adopted my child.
I want to stop Gabby from doing this to other couples.
Kyndra, thank you for joining this conversation
and for being here.
She got ahold of your ultrasounds, right?
Your sonograms, the pictures
and she just took those as her own
and that just became her bona fides
for saying, this is me, I'm pregnant.
And she used these to trick at least four different couples
that we know of.
It could be more.
Just a hint for the future,
this included, like, your name and some other information.
You wanna trim that off of those pictures
before you put them up there, then you can share it.
But you've had no contact with her, right?
I actually did reach out to her whenever I found out.
Did she answer?
She did.
She denied all accusations and then she blocked me.
So she's not, you've not had any dialogue with her
about these 300 couples, how she's used this?
She just backed off completely, right?
Yeah, she backed off completely.
Because you know she's not pregnant
because she's using your pictures.
