Penny Marshall Deceived By Lamar Odom's "Assistant "!

Just for the record, Lamar Odom does not have a cash-strapped assistant! Sadly, director Penny Marshall  wasn't aware of this important fact and learned it the hard way after being deceived for several thousand dollars.

Sources reveal the double-cross began at a Lakers game last month when a man claiming to be Lamar's assistant gave Penny a phone number he claimed was Lamar's.

According to reports, Penny and the person she considered was Lamar texted back and forth for several days when finally "Lamar" asked her to loan his assistant few cash. Ever the faithful Lakers fan, Penny forked over more than five grand to the fake "assistant."

After that, "Lamar" suddenly stopped texting, Penny got suspicious and contacted the real Lamar who told her he doesn't even have an assistant.

It has to be mentioned that Penny has filed a police report with the LAPD and reportedly they've opened a grand theft investigation.

This is a major fraud...Don't you think?
