Deaf Woman Scammed, Defamed
Recently in Bucks County, 41-year-old Nancy Hellyer was sentenced to up to 10 years in prison for stealing $100,000 from a deaf couple in Upper Southampton. Hellyer also convinced Heather Goldstein to quit her job with the IRS and come work for her. Her first paycheck bounced. The con artist clearly doesn’t deserve much pity, but I don’t think we need to make her any worse than she actually is and make all deaf people seem like incompetent rubes at the same time. Right?
Our little con artist friend Nancy didn’t, um, make Goldstein deaf. Right? And it seems to me that she’s been able to get at least two jobs: The one at the IRS, and the fake one that didn’t pay. Woman gets up to 10 years for defrauding deaf couple [Bucks County Courier Times] |

Irwin R. Shyster!
Hearing people have been scammed by others for years. Did the scammers make the people hearing as you like to put it about the deaf couple?
It makes no difference in your intelligence, your education and your professional standing as a good scammer can scam you out of your money by appealing to your greed and desire to make a fast buck. Sophisticated scammers can create sophisticated scams that cleverly separate the mark from his or her money.
Never presume deaf people are any less intelligent than hearing people are. What that woman did to the deaf woman was to destroy her economically by getting her to quit her steady job and then scamming her out of the money by fostering a false sense of trust and security.
Hey! Why insult the Deaf? True mrs. Goldstien would have a harder time getting a Job than the hearing people out there! So come on here! Deafies go thru alot of turmoil and I don’t appreciate someone insulting the Deaf World or pushing them down, the Bucks County Times was way off base with this insult as it too personal in my opinion! So How about a little respect here from this Newspaper??? You have to remember even hearing folks get conned, or is that too much to say? So whatever was said should never have been said! For a Newspaper it time to show some respect and clean-up the act and show some professionalism in jouralism, I also this this Author of this article should seriously give Mrs. Goldstien an apology!
True, Deaf people are still having hard times landing jobs. Don’t you all hearing people get clues? I have many Deaf friends holding bachelor degrees, still looking for jobs with assistance from the vocational rehabilitation offices - Still no luck! Job Discrimination is still OUT THERE! ADA and other discrimination laws are not doing well everywhere. No matter how intelligent Deaf people are, and the employers are still underestimating the Deaf people’s capability. Hearing people easily land jobs because they simply can speak and hear - thats what Employers wanted. Anyway, Praises to the judge and the court to send your little con artist friend Nancy to prison. Now, I demand this mean-hearted author of this article to make an apology to the Deaf community, even to Mrs. Goldstien.
In the majority cases of the ADA and Federal Laws for people with disabilities has been uneducated to people in the job industry. I see the laws are strong but it is up to the disability person to pursue the discrimination and provide sufficient evidence to a “wake up” call to the industry. I have seen it and take whole lot of time to correct the problem and get them understanding how much disability people are well educated and may be a much more potential candidate than others such as non-disability. Also, in the majority problems is industry are afraid to provide the accomodation which cost them more than a non-disability person. What they don’t know it is TAX write off! Wake Up and educate them!
