Episode 1 of the Scamanda docuseries ended with the ultimate bombshell — the reveal of the person who tipped off Nancy Moscatiello to Amanda Riley’s fake cancer scam. On the 2023 Scamanda podcast, the whistleblower chose to stay anonymous, but she’s now come forward with her identity.
Amanda’s former friend Lisa Berry confirmed at the end of the Thursday, January 30, episode that she was the one who contacted Moscatiello with her suspicions about Amanda, which ultimately led the investigative producer to look into the situation. Years later, in 2020, Amanda was charged with wire fraud based on the more than $100,000 in online donations she accepted from people who thought they were contributing to her medical care. In reality, she wasn’t sick at all.
“My name is Lisa Berry, and I am the anonymous source,” Lisa said. “It’s time. I’m proud of it. I’m proud I’m the anonymous source.”

Lisa and her husband Steve Berry’s daughter went to school with Amanda’s stepdaughter, Jessa. Amanda’s then-husband, Cory Riley (who filed for divorce in January 2024), is Jessa’s father. Since Jessa and the Berrys’ daughter became friends, Amanda and Cory spent time with Lisa and Steve.
