To report someone ?

If you thought someone was committing fraud would you contact the police?
Or DWP?
Or would you just leave it alone?
What if you really disliked this person?

@Maves

Oh so she's stealing her grandads money you mean? That's fucked
She wasn't.
Fuckinlonely · 31/01/2021 11:27

Awww @chillipepperr there are a lot of snakes out there. You are better off without her xx

chillipepperr · 31/01/2021 11:27

This friend had some sort of weird vendetta against me and it was one thing after the other.
She knew how much I loved him and knew me inside and out.
She knew it wasn't true but did it to cause me trouble.
It's massively affected me.

Did you post this before?

It sounds as if you have no proof.

How do you know he hasn't asked her to spend as much as she can to avoid IHT or something?

MsHedgehog · 31/01/2021 11:28

Do you actually have any proof at all? You said it’s just a feeling, simply because she’s spending money?

Maybe her grandfather is giving it to her? Maybe she has income from elsewhere.

I get shes hurt you but move on - you said really bitter.

Maves · 31/01/2021 11:28

Ooh ok well you did nothing wrong fuck her. How do you even know it was her?

Hazelnutlatteplease · 31/01/2021 11:29

No absolutely not. I've got through three investigations all of which where disproved very quickly. 2 were actively malicious,one was DWP being a dipstick. All were hell.

I wouldn't wish it on my worst enemy. Unless you have something way more substantial than a hunch I wouldn't even consider it.

Loved who?
Throwaway99 · 31/01/2021 11:29

It must have been horrible for you. There seems to be some people who really enjoy maliciously reporting anything and everything.

It looks bad on her, not you OP.

TheMobileSiteMadeMeSignup · 31/01/2021 11:29

Wait, so your ex friend reported you for fraud?

Sorry, I'm lost. Can you type out what actually happened and what you are asking instead of a list of hypothetical questions then flipping who did what to who please.

LunaHeather · 31/01/2021 11:30

Don't put the DWP or the grandad through anything horrible for your revenge.

littlepattilou · 31/01/2021 11:31

Reporting someone because you dislike them - with no actual concrete evidence of ANYthing, is remarkably childish and spiteful.

chillipepperr · 31/01/2021 11:32

Sorry
She knew how much I loved my grandad.
I found out as a mutual friend said something that she could have only known from said friend about the report (I didn't tell her about it ) so the only way she knew was from friend.
Then when I questioned her about it,she flipped it and painted me as the "psycho"
She wasn't shocked or surprised as you might expect finding it something like that ..as she knew.

WorraLiberty · 31/01/2021 11:34

You posted about this not too long ago, didn't you OP?

minionsrule · 31/01/2021 11:34

Last year there was someone on here asking if she should report her friend in similar circumstances to what you describe but that was about the dad not grandad.
Something about spending more than she earned and suspecting she was fraudulently using dads money. Think she got her arse handed to her.
Wonder if that was your 'friend'

StillCoughingandLaughing · 31/01/2021 11:35

@pictish

No, I would not report someone out of spite because I disliked them.
I would. Why pass up a golden opportunity?
Hazelnutlatteplease · 31/01/2021 11:35

It really is just tit for tat then. Hmm

CantBeAssed · 31/01/2021 11:41

I'm lost...was it op that was reported for fraudConfused

Waxonwaxoff0 · 31/01/2021 11:42

No I would not report. No way of knowing for sure.

Itsnotlikethiswithotherpeople · 31/01/2021 11:45

Sorry, I’m a bit confused...
You were reported based on spite and hadn’t done anything wrong.
You aren’t thinking of reporting the ex friend,
you are upset you were reported?

You are justified in feeling angry, rage, sadness etc. I’m sorry you experienced this and didn’t deserve it. I hope you find better friends who don’t behave like this. I have had someone lying about me and it truly rocked me. So I understand. I would never do this to someone, even my ‘enemy’. Hope you can move on.

chillipepperr · 31/01/2021 11:46

Today is just a bit of a sad day.
I'm just wondering what I did for her to hate me so much.
I was a good friend to her.
I have times when I'm ok and I'm positive then days like today where I'm just upset all the time.

sunflowersandbuttercups · 31/01/2021 11:49

I'm so confused!

Were you the one reported for fraud? And you hadn't done anything wrong but it still caused you lots of stress/anguish?

chillipepperr · 31/01/2021 11:51

@sunflowersandbuttercups yes,this "ex friend" did this to me.
It was over and done with a while ago now but it's still left me feeling awful.
The fact she convinced others she was telling the truth.
It turned people against me and obviously caused me stress etc whilst it was being investigated

@LunaHeather

Don't put the DWP or the grandad through anything horrible for your revenge.
Luna the op was the one that was reported by her so called friend and she doesn’t know why.
