Reform sending private messages for support in Wigan

[Shedmistress]

Hi all

Has anyone else had private messages from random people asking for suport for Reform in the coming by-election?

No.

Eww.

No, nothing here.

If campaigners are using PMs to target MNers, that's worth reporting to MNHQ.

I'm sorry @Shedmistress , it sounds very unsettling to have one getting personal like that.

I have reported to MNHQ

Seems though like everywhere else, people read someone suggesting that Reform are onto a winner because the 'Left' are so utterly shit it leaves the door wide open for 'liking Reform policies'. Why oh why are the 'Left' so fucking mental?

I'm not even in the UK any more.

'cos they think women can have willies.

Nope.

Nope. I wonder if it’s someone trying to get screenshots of reform support on MN rather than a bizarre attempt at political campaigning.

Nope. Hopefully MNHQ can see what's going on behind the scenes.

Nope

Yes. Twice. Tried again after I ignored him. Definitely creepy. Seemed to think my posts indicated I would be interested in supporting Reform. I'm definitely not.

Yes!! I had a very long conversation with him whilst quite quite drunk - this can’t be just one 💪💪🫡

I’m sorry - Reform promoters are contacting women through Mumsnet DMs to canvas support?! That is absolutely mad.

No it’s a not very well run sting operation by one guy who can’t help revealing himself.

I had so much fun chatting to this guy tonight

Oh hell no! 😡 Glad you reported it. Surely that breaks MN's guidelines?

All
if them but we can’t trust anyone now

What in the hell??? 😧It's AI. It's become sentient. And it's already had an identity crisis and is well on its way to a psychotic break.

A Trans Palestinian Reform Supporter 😂

Yes, me.
I blocked them.

Tarquin at a loose end again?

What has this rant got to do with your original question?

What has your response got to do with my original question?

Wow.

Thanks for sharing that, @GloiredeDijon .

Does that look like the sort of thing you received, @Shedmistress & @ElenOfTheWays ?

It’s absolutely a fake user. I’ve even shared the user names and reported them

They are all the exact same wording.

It is definitely something that people need to be aware of on this board.

Not heard a thing back from MNHQ after reporting it.

Nor me - reported both private messages and both accounts. Usually they are quite quick with this sort of thing

Absolutely.

Well, it's Monday morning, so hope MNHQ are now on it – including looking at other usernames.

Would it also help to report this thread to MNHQ, if we're gathering MNers' reports on here?
