Penny Marshall ripped off by Lamar Odom’s so-called 'assistant'
Even filthy rich celebrities fall victim to scamming ploys just like regular folk. According to TMZ, famed director Penny Marshall reportedly fell victim to one such scam, as she reportedly dished out several thousand dollars to a man who claimed to be NBA star Lamar Odom's 'assistant':

Sources tell TMZ the double-cross started at a Lakers game last month … when a man claiming to be LO’s assistant gave Penny a phone number he said was Lamar’s.
We’re told Penny and the person she thought was Lamar texted back and forth for several days — when finally “Lamar” asked her to loan his assistant a chunk o’ cash. Ever the faithful Lakers fan, Penny forked over more than five grand to the faux “assistant.”

Penny has now filed a report with LAPD and reportedly they have opened a grand theft investigation.
That’s a warning to all to never believe the 'I work for so and so' line as it could mean a scam is running afoot.

Is Penny Marshall ill or something? Wouldn't she think that Odom can afford to give his own assistant a helping hand? And who gives someone 5 Grand based on a text?

Sounds like an episode of Laverne & Shirley.

Thats her own fault there. These days and times, you cant even trust your own mama, let alone someone you met at a basketball game.
