to think this is a fake Chester Zoo ticket? Seriously, is it fake!?

[user1469643462]

Yeah, I think we all know now, but is there like a 1% chance any form of ticket looks like this!?!?

This is basically a follow on too

Surely it's theft then?

We all basically liking the photo on Chester Zoo's page

A fine sample group of MNers, right there!

How do I find the fb post about this?

Ignoring the blatant fraud for a moment, I can't understand why a childminder would feel free to take the children to somewhere so expensive, when she could just take them to the park. As the OP said, the CM fees and the ticket price (wherever that ended up) amounted to a day's pay - surely parents would want to take their children to something like that themselves rather than pay someone else to do it, too?

Chester Zoo Hi Mariska - our best advice would be to pop this picture over to our guest services team at [email protected] and they will let you know!

Thanks, CZ.

Their reponse on FB for those who can't use link/don't have FB

Shamelessly place marking

Can someone explain what happened, I've missed some of this.

I read up to the point op asked for receipt after having a leaflet shoved at her. Did op take DC to zoo/museum over weekend? What happened today?

Chester zoo have respinded already to the FB post. Speedy. But no answer, just an email address!

Chester Zoo have a font that they use for printing things like gift vouchers. That definitely isn't the font.

Ahh I've jus seen someone has linked! Thank you very much!

Also just placemarking, to see what the upshot of this will be, as she has blatantly lied to you and taken money by deception.

Fake

Looks like the background was printed from their website on the meet the animals page and then text added over the top. (Researching so place marking isn't quite so obvious)

This just get weirder by the day!

6/10 for effort, 0/10 for attainment

Why can't Chester zoo just comment?!

Just confront her with evidence OP. - OP did confront, CM lied. CM therefore made out the OPs child lied, that is fucking disgusting, she deserves sacking.

Also, she has basically committed forgery, fraud, theft and incited a mumsnet stampeed over the chester zoo website

Thanks username - OP are you going to email the zoo as they requested on the FB page. Looks like they are happy to verify or otherwise.

Hahahahahahah

I do hope you won't be sending your DC back to that CM!

Blatant placemark

Demented penguin - no OP didn't get time to take DS there but when she took him to CM today, the CM gave her the receipt that has been posted as 'evidence' they went

I've emailed them.

OP I have asked my seven year old what she thought of the ticket. She told me it looked like someone had tried too hard to make a pretend ticket
