It’s my daughter 8ths birthday tomorrow. I cant even afford food on the table we’re all eating cheap pasta and sauce at the moment never mind buying a present for her. She’s not a materialistic child but her brother was given a PS4 for his birthday in January and now it’s her birthday she’s going to feel so left out, I can’t even buy or bake her a cake things are that tight. What do I say to her? She was promised the world and I know it’s not my fault what’s happening right now but how do I tell her without ruining her day?

Hello everyone,

We've had a number of reports from people concerned about this thread so, as we usually do in these circumstances, we're putting our heads round the door with some important reminders.

Right now we can't see any evidence to indicate that the OP isn't above board – if we did, we'd remove the thread straight away. But the truth is that, sadly, we at MNHQ can't know with 100% certainty that any poster is genuine, no matter who they are or how long they have been here. As frustrating as it is, we're not able to vouch for anyone here.

So we always ask users to remember that not everyone on the internet is who they say they are – and remind folk not to give more to another poster, either financially (in cash or gifts) or emotionally (in time or care and support) than they'd be prepared to lose if things went wrong. Though, we strongly advise against parting with any cash or giving away your personal details, and if you receive a PM which makes you uneasy - report it to us and we’ll take a look.

Sorry to hijack your thread briefly there, OP – we really hope things look up for you all.
