Convinced that this isn't the first time this scam has been run, Jessica is determined to catch the imposter, and writes a Facebook post hoping to chase down some of Jessica Two's other victims. When she gets a number of responses, she sets a plan in motion to catch the thief, encountering a string of identically named victims along the way."--Publisher.
