Seeing as there are people with blue ticks on Twitter who can get away with this crap, no wonder people on here try it on.

These begging threads should be deleted automatically. Absolute con artists.

Lovemydoggie · 13/02/2022 00:04

Maybe I am very naive..I absolutely never clock these threads !

SmolCat · 13/02/2022 00:04

Well done @EineKleineNachtwatcher

Apparently they’re all over reddit too. I wonder what makes someone do that.

EineKleineNachtwatcher · 13/02/2022 00:05

We have no way of knowing that. A lot of people are in dire straits and it's going to get worse.

FiftyStoriesHigh · 13/02/2022 00:06

Just been down a bit of a rabbit hole and the same post (to the letter) has been doing the internet rounds for over two years!

RedCandyApple · 13/02/2022 00:07

Anyone saying they have no money to feed themselves/ kids is an immediate red flag to me.

Viviennemary · 13/02/2022 00:13

Yet another thread started under lone parents. Pretty bad.

NiteWotcha · 13/02/2022 00:14

Especially at that time on a Saturday night. It's not like you'd have only just realised.
