"CALGARY - The fraud suspect wanted for allegedly faking cancer to scam a fundraiser out of thousands of dollars arrived back in Calgary Saturday to be formally charged."
"Cook faces two counts of fraud over $5,000 and the accusation of raising more than $7,500 under false pretenses at a July 8, 2011, benefit held at Calgary's Broken City bar."
"Friends and organizers of the event have applauded police's efforts to investigate Cook and track him down, and give credit to the people who spread the story over social media.
The case has been likened to one in Ontario where Ashley Kirilow received 10 months house arrest and 100 hours community service for shaving her head and lying about having the disease in order to solicit donations and hold fundraising events."
