Does this look like a genuine LFT taken within the time frame? I've never seen a positive one in real life to know myself

@Sux2Buthen

Can I ask *@sunflowerroses* did the name on yours have capital letters?
I suspect it has the name exactly as he entered it on the PCR booking form. He sounds like the type not to bother with capitals, so I'm not surprised.
Sux2Buthen · 04/01/2022 14:33

@Motorina that's exactly what I said to my friend when they questioned it

OP I don’t know if helpful but I’ve just looked back at older result text messages and the bit about keeping your app up to date etc is on there (July 2021) but isn’t on my more recent messages.
Could it be an old message that has been amended?
The lateral flow looks old and very dry to me.

LyndaLaHughes · 04/01/2022 14:35

That is not a PCR test message. That's the message you get when you self report a positive lateral flow test which anyone can do.

LyndaLaHughes · 04/01/2022 14:36

The PCR one clearly says PCR in it.
I know because I've been getting all the messages for 6 people in my family who are positive.

LyndaLaHughes · 04/01/2022 14:37

He hasn't done a PCR test yet- he wouldn't have the results so quickly- so if he's claiming that is a PCR test message he is lying.

@Sux2Buthen that message is for when someone registers a pos lft , which anyone can do even if the test is negative. You just have to enter the code from the test and tick positive.

Sux2Buthen · 04/01/2022 14:41

You legends. That helps a lot Thankyou so much

whataballbag · 04/01/2022 14:42

Pcr email and texts actually says PCR

Your coronavirus PCR test (or other lab test) result is positive. It’s likely you had the virus when the test was done.
Self-isolate immediately (including if this is a follow-up test result) from the day your symptoms started, or the test date if you’ve no symptoms.
Your close contacts may need to self-isolate or do daily lateral flow tests for 7 days. Go to https://www.nhs.uk/coronaviruss_, select ‘Self-isolation and treating symptoms’ and read ‘When to self-isolate and what to do’.
For a child or staff at school or nursery, tell the school/nursery.
If you’re pregnant, contact your midwife, maternity team or GP.
For medical help, contact 111. In an emergency dial 999.

@Sux2Buthen

To update, I've been sent this. This seems legit doesn't it? I've never had any covid notifications but this seems right? If he was telling the truth it's the first time so I don't feel bad
That's the notification you get when you input a positive result for a LFT. The text that MummysGone had is when you have a positive PCR.
Sux2Buthen · 04/01/2022 14:47

He's getting cleverer but not as clever as you lot or as suspicious as me Grin

He'd ditch them at his mums without hesitation. I was 3 minutes late picking up (first time ever in a year and a half) I had 3 missed calls and texts saying OMG! SUX! WHERE ARE YOU ?!

Tap water, it appears to be a feature of that style of test to produce grey lines on both the control and test sections. The think control line doesn't look right.

Renowned anti-vax covid denier Dick Fairbrass accidentally revealed the fake result scam:

I feel better in a way but seriously loathe the way there are people that go to lengths to avoid their children

We had positive results that looked like that. Most had a pink line but some were fainter and greyer. 🤷🏻‍♀️

For some reason I'd got in my head that this was an employee of yours trying to avoid work.

What a twat

I'm do sorry your ex is such a deadbeat dad. You and your children deserve so much more. My children also have a deadbeat dad. It's heartbreaking as a mum isn't it. Flowers
