The fake “Lisa Evans” story began less than two years ago and finally came to a head in February. I went along with it for quite some time. The link below leads to the messaging conversation she had. I’ve contacted my local TV station and two stations in Boston in an effort to reach the real Lisa Evans. I asked them to make her aware of the fake Facebook page using her name. I also emailed the youth theatre group where she serves as director and received a read receipt, so I know someone there saw the message. I’m still working on getting confirmation that she’s aware of the situation and on having the Facebook page taken down.
