UPDATE: Trampled Again, and Again, and Again.

Play that Scam Again - Turns out that the woman that was trampled in the after Thanksgiving rush at Wal-Mart last Friday, is a serial faller.

Tony Pipitone, for WKMG-Local 6 News, writes:

A woman reported "trampled" last Friday by Wal-Mart shoppers desperate for $29.87 DVD players has a long history of claiming injuries from Wal-Marts and other businesses where she worked or shopped.

... An investigation by WKMG-Local 6 reveals Vanlester has filed 16 previous claims of injuries at Wal-Mart stores and other places she has shopped or worked, according to Wal-Mart, court files and state records. Her sister, who accompanied her Friday on the visit to Wal-Mart, has also filed a prior injury claim against Wal-Mart, with Vanlester as her witness, a company spokeswoman said yesterday.

Isn't that just grand? Many around the nation were saddened by the initial report of shopping madness, yours truly included, and it turns out it was likely all a scam.

We'll have to keep our eyes on this and see were it goes over time.
