Over the past week, a viral story about an 81-year-old man performing a manual labor contract job delivering lost luggage in The Colony to pay for his ailing wife's cancer treatments garnered significant online attention.

The story, which began circulating via a GoFundMe originally believed to have been set up by a concerned citizen, amassed hundreds of thousands of dollars in donations.

Over the weekend, all donations were reportedly refunded as GoFundMe discovered the page had actually been orchestrated by the couple's daughter.
