To be fair she isn't begging. She is asking advice for where to go to access food for herself.

I reported that one instantly. They're never genuine at this time of night!

Theyve both been hidden. Thanks for the heads up

Thank you.

I've just spotted that one , I fell bad though, what if it's genuine?

Wording is exactly the same.

If it is true then no help can he given overnight anyway. The person has been advised on a previous thread. Pay no more attention.

the exact same post is all over the internet, on reddit, discord, Netmums.

It was here a few months ago. Stars off with asking for food, then moves onto not having anyone to ask, no family, friends, neighbours, then cant accept vouchers, has to be cash

Don't feel bad Vapey. The whole point of those multiple posts is that they are hoping some gullible kindhearted person will send them funds. It won't be genuine.

Thanks all- I’ve hidden that one too

Do let us know if you spot any more of these type of messages or anything else you think we should look at

Thanks for reporting. I've hidden that one.

That last one is still in active and still accessible to readers.

The last one is not hidden.

They are still posting on volunteering and charitable page. I can not post a link on here

Thanks Zen

Thanks. Think I've got them all now.

God I'm so gullible! I really thought it was genuine 😞
