Hi all,

I’ve just received a PM from a user called Cheesecakemunc in which they say they are widowed and they ask for money to help buy their daughter’s birthday present.

Has anyone else had a message from this user or similarly worded messages from others?

I’ve emailed MNHQ to report the message and have replied to the user saying there are sources of financial support out there if necessary (Citizens Advice etc).

I had one too. By the time I saw I had a private message just now, the content had already been deleted by Mumsnet. I was intrigued so searched the user name and came across this. Thanks for flagging 👍🏻

I would not have even replied, just some scammer, just delete and move on

I agree about deleting the message and forgetting about it, but I wanted to make it public to warn anyone who might get taken in and might actually donate money.

Also got called a ‘Karen’ for challenging the donation request. Thanks @Cheesecakemunc!
