NXT “A WOLF IN SHEEP’S CLOTHING”: The Heartbreaking Scam Targeting Will Roberts’ Supporters 💔⚠️
In the high-stakes, emotional journey of a 14-year-old fighting for his life, one would hope for a sanctuary of pure support and untainted kindness. For Will Roberts and his family in Ralph, Alabama, the battle against bone cancer has been grueling enough. They have faced the “Red Devil” of chemotherapy, the physical toll of surgeries, and the agonizing wait for scan results. But as 2026 begins, a new and sinister storm has arrived—one that doesn’t attack the body, but the very heart of the community that sustains them.
Scammers have officially moved in, preying on the “Circle of Hope” that surrounds Will. It is a classic case of a wolf in sheep’s clothing: using a child’s courage to facilitate a predatory scam.
The “Prayer Page” Trap: Anatomy of a Digital Betrayal
The scheme is as sophisticated as it is cruel. A series of fake pages have appeared across social media platforms, often hidden from the Roberts family’s direct view but visible to their friends, neighbors, and supporters. These pages masquerade as official “Prayer Groups,” “Support Hubs,” or “Will’s Warriors” accounts.
In just two weeks, these fraudulent pages have amassed over 1,000 followers. Their tactic is simple: they share “horrible information”—graphic, misleading, or overly sensationalized updates—designed to play on people’s deepest emotions and trigger a “panic response” that leads to impulsive giving.
The Modus Operandi of the Scam:
- False Addresses: Providing untraceable addresses for supporters to send physical items or gift cards.
- Fraudulent Donation Links: Setting up third-party payment accounts that bypass the official medical funds.
- Emotional Sabotage: Spreading false “emergency” updates to create a sense of urgency for financial help.
“I don’t care how many fake pages pop up,” the family shared in a blistering emotional warning. “I just don’t want the ones who support us to be scammed. It is heartbreaking to see our journey being used to hurt the people who love us most.”
Lessons from the Past: Why There Are No “New” Pages
The Roberts family is no stranger to the complexities of digital support. Having navigated a similar path with Darby Kate, they learned a hard lesson: “Prayer Pages” are a double-edged sword. Once a secondary page is compromised or a fake one gains traction, they are notoriously difficult for platforms to shut down.
As a result, the family has made a definitive decision: There will be no new “Prayer Pages” for Will.
The One True Source of Truth: To protect the integrity of Will’s journey, the family is streamlining all communication.
- The Verified Account: Only the primary, long-standing family account is legitimate.
- The Inner Circle: Any real emergency or significant shift in Will’s care will only be shared directly through Jason or Frehley.
- The Verification Rule: If an update doesn’t come directly from their mouths or their primary page, it is to be considered a fake.
Protecting the “Circle of Hope”: A Community Mandate
The Roberts family is calling on their “America First” community—a group built on trust, local loyalty, and shared values—to be the first line of defense. These scammers are using Will’s name and his courageous face to siphon resources away from his actual medical care and into the pockets of anonymous criminals.
By staying vigilant, reporting these fake accounts immediately, and refusing to interact with unverified “update” pages, the community can starve the scammers of the attention they need to survive. This isn’t just about protecting money; it’s about protecting the sanctity of the story. Will’s fight is real, his pain is real, and the prayers offered for him are sacred. To allow a scammer to profit from that is a betrayal that the people of Ralph, Alabama, refuse to tolerate.
Conclusion: One Voice, One Fight
Will Roberts is focused on looking “upward,” maintaining a faith that has inspired thousands. His parents are focused on the daily, exhausting reality of his healing. They should not have to spend their limited energy fighting off “digital wolves” who hide behind a keyboard.
The message to these scammers is loud and clear: You cannot profit from our prayers. Our support for Will remains unshakable, but our eyes must remain wide open. We will continue to lift Will up, but we will do so with the wisdom to know the difference between a true friend and a predator in disguise.
