Wrongly accused of shoplifting and harrassment.

JenniferBooth · 19/08/2025 13:13

Ive been maliciously accused of shoplifting. By a woman in a well known news store currently undergoing a name change. This was last month on Saturday 26th July. This was followed by someone posting false accusations about me on social media Ive reported it to the police under the Malicious Communications Act AND IVE BEEN GIVEN A CRIME NUMBER It escalated on Sunday 17th August where a man ive never met before "confronted" me in another shop (supermarket corner shop) calling me a shoplifter and repeating the same shit from last month. Ive updated the police as its harassment. Ive never shoplifted in my life. Ive got piles and piles of carrier bags from this news store and have spent a lot of money there since my teens (im now in my fifties) I was ringing solicitors yesterday but havent found one to handle a case like this.

Most of you probably shop online. So therefore you wouldnt do this as the retail workers dont know you well enough, But i PHYSICALLY shop all the time so am well known there

I shop in physical stores all the time. None of them have ever given me a Christmas card

She isn’t
i have been on here long enough that I know regular postings names and OP isn’t. I could give the user name of the boots sample one but I won’t, and they are two different people

I may be missing the point here but what on earth do you find to buy in Smiths? It’s a dive of a shop so I’m curious as to what you’ve loved about it so much for decades

JuvenileBigfoot · 19/08/2025 13:51

I need to know who the Boots Sample Lady is!!!!

Also I had no idea WH Smith is changing its name!

Could be the same IP address and a new username.

BeeCucumber · 19/08/2025 13:51

Are you asking for samples of newspapers and magazines?

HeronandChips · 19/08/2025 13:52

This isn’t the Boots woman. Categorically not. I know her from a well known beauty group and she’s very laser focussed on no7 and Clinique and this just is not her

I've just been to Sainsburys, no one has a clue who I am.

Is your local store very small OP? Why are you so memorable? Do you enjoy a chat at the checkout?

TwoWheelz · 19/08/2025 13:56

What about posting on WHSmiths twitter

Can everyone stop being dicks? She’s not the bloody Boots woman.

OP sorry no advice but this must be very distressing for you. Can’t imagine how horrible it must be having them post lies about you online and even harassing you in person. Is this a case of mistaken identity do you think? Or is there some other reason why they might be deliberately targeting you for this abuse?
