Would-be surrogate mother, husband accused of bilking clients; Web sites detail numerous scams
As first reported by The Index-Journal, a Hodges couple have been arrested after authorities say they bilked thousands of dollars from a Pennsylvania family in a ruse in which she reportedly agreed to be a surrogate mother for the couple.
Greenwood County Sheriff’s Office arrested Jessica O’Donnell, 28, of 1006 Sally White Road, Hodges and charged her with obtaining money under false pretenses.
Deputies also arrested her husband, Daniel O’Donnell, and charged him with obtaining money under false pretenses.
GCSO investigators say more charges are pending, as there is evidence the O’Donnells allegedly conned numerous other victims.
