So basically a family member of mine has a friend. This friend (let's call her A) admitted to my family member she got a refund on a cancelled holiday. This holiday was for 10 members of A's family. 'A' told her family that the company kept the money and they got no refund. 'A' then kept £4000 for herself. I've asked My family member how can you be friends with someone who has stolen off their own family!!!! My family member said IABU as A would never do that to her and that they have a good friendship. I can't even bare to see A now I know she's conned her family. In fact it infuriates me as her family are lovely. AIBU?

Yanbu-what a twat A is. I'd probably shop her to her family tbh.

Can you let it 'slip' to her family? "Oh you much have been so relieved to get your money back"

You cant force your family member to cut ties with this woman. She isn't someone I could associate with or trust though. What a bitch!

No I can't as I only see them like at large gatherings. A is soo up her own arse and thinks she is perfect. I can't bare her knowing she is a thief

Jesus I couldn't have anything to do with her, whether or not she'd cheat me is irrelevant what a nasty thing to do!

exactly I have to be in the same room as her and her partner who looks equally shifty but he might be ok! I'm so glad IANBU. In my head I knew I was in the right but I can't see why my family member wants to keep associating with her and it's making me wonder about her own character. Is she like her friend but I've never known it?

That's absolutely appalling behaviour. So dishonest!! No wonder you are struggling to be friendly towards her.

Yanbu, what scum

DJBaggySmalls · 24/12/2016 00:05

Thats fraud. If any of it was paid by credit card, then its credit card fraud. I couldnt trust her ever again and I wouldnt have anything to do with her.

Ohdearducks · 24/12/2016 00:08

That's fucking awful, would the police be interested in this? It's theft after all but probably won't be as it's hearsay I suppose but still! She can't be allowed to get away with that!

Xmas Shock I would hate to be in this situation.

I had a former friend do similar but to a lesser amount. I'm not even convinced that she ever booked the holiday as opposed to just taking the money. She said that she couldn't get a refund (which would have been fair enough if true) but was too skint to refund everyone herself due to her cancelling for a ridiculous reason. She then was all over Facebook bragging about recent purchases. Like I said, former friend. If it had been a random acquaintance then I would not want to be around said person at all.
