The One Fund Boston charity was established to help the runners and families affected by the Boston Marathon bombings this past April.

But clearly some people have no limits. This incident marked the third person that has tried to defraud the fund so far, and the latest one comes from New Jersey.

Mycentraljersey.com reports that 44-year old Linden resident Iris Gamble sent an application to One Fund in June claiming that she had been in Boston and was injured on the day of the bombings. But Union County Prosecutor Grace Park said, “Our investigation revealed that the defendant was not in Boston on the day of the bombings. The defendant wasted little time in trying to profit from the generosity and kindness of others.”

According to prosecutors, Gamble’s application was flagged because of misspellings and other irregularities and sent to Union County, Yahoo! Eurosport UK reported.

Njtoday.net reports that Gamble has been charged with third degree attempted theft by deception, fourth degree fraud, and a fourth degree offense of creating fraudulent documents. She is scheduled to appear in Union County Superior Court next week.

MyFoxBoston reported that Audrea Gause of New York allegedly claimed nearly half a million dollars from the fund in July. And 22-year old Branden Mattier of Boston is being accused of submitting a nearly $2 million claim to the charity, using a deceased aunt's name on the claim.

“Attempting to steal money from the real victims of the Marathon bombing, and from the people who gave so generously to help them, is unconscionable,” said Christopher Loh, a spokesman for Massachusetts Attorney General Martha Coakley, according to The Boston Globe. “We will continue our review of all claims made to ensure that the only people who receive money are the true victims of this horrible event.”

More than $60 million has been raised for victims of the Boston Marathon attacks so far.
