They gave it away when they said MN had directed them to this thread to explain themselves. I’ve never known MN do any such thing.

What’s a TRA? Genuine question.

We've sent the email addresses of the users that they registered with MN on to a legal team investigating a certain TRA so they might pass them on to the police. Do let us know if you get a call.

They never send their brightest, do they?

Well this has taken an interesting turn. Shock

I think we have found another sock puppet account.

Hi everyone.

I am really, really sorry to those of you who have been sent strange PMs these past few days from a user called ‘TomUT7’.

I have now got to the bottom of this and worked out what’s happened. MN have directed me to this thread so I can explain to you what’s happened, as I realise you might be concerned.

My nephew was using an old phone of mine - which I stupidly didn’t realise was logged into MN - and sent random and weird posts (including these PMs in question) to people on here from about Thursday evening to early this morning.

He thought it was really funny. Of course, it is not. I am so sorry about this.

I’ve now spoken to my nephew and stopped him from using that phone completely. I've also reset my MN passwords and email passwords for further peace of mind, to make sure he can’t find a way of accessing my emails or MN account in future.

I am so sorry again to you all. I’m absolutely mortified!!

What age is this nephew?

Wow.

Thanks for sharing that, @GloiredeDijon .

Does that look like the sort of thing you received, @Shedmistress & @ElenOfTheWays ?

Yes. That was what I got. I just ignored it.

adding a screenshot of first message.

They used an AI to measure their messages and make them sound convincing, 'cos the actual user can't spell and was quite cross.

They are all the exact same wording.

It is definitely something that people need to be aware of on this board.

Not heard a thing back from MNHQ after reporting it.

Nor me - reported both private messages and both accounts. Usually they are quite quick with this sort of thing

Absolutely.

Well, it's Monday morning, so hope MNHQ are now on it – including looking at other usernames.

Would it also help to report this thread to MNHQ, if we're gathering MNers' reports on here?

It’s absolutely a fake user. I’ve even shared the user names and reported them

PerkingFaintly · 18/05/2026 09:58

GloiredeDijon · 18/05/2026 00:52

Yes, me.
I blocked them.

I have reported to MNHQ

Seems though like everywhere else, people read someone suggesting that Reform are onto a winner because the 'Left' are so utterly shit it leaves the door wide open for 'liking Reform policies'. Why oh why are the 'Left' so fucking mental?

I'm not even in the UK any more.

if them but we can’t trust anyone now

What in the hell??? 😧It's AI. It's become sentient. And it's already had an identity crisis and is well on its way to a psychotic break.

Oh hell no! 😡 Glad you reported it. Surely that breaks MN's guidelines?
