Halton Christmas Toy Appeal

[Sensible Susan]

It’s raffle time again. She has dusted off the notebook and is already the best part of £500 up.

Honestly - at this point, you have to be verging on sub-normal intelligence to give her a single penny. The picture is shite too. If I won it, it would be in the charity shop ten minutes after being given it.

Oh - and just in case you doubt it’s a scam. Friends and family offers zero protection and requires zero accountability.

Under HMRC radar?
Also, is a raffle considered gambling? If so, using Paypal for gambling is definitely a violation of their Ts & Cs.

A raffle is definitely considered gambling and there are a lot of rules on how they should be conducted. None of which mention writing names in pencil in a tatty book.

 

[JulieScoobyDoo]

You can report an unregistered raffle to trading standards. They would be very interested in this, as would PayPal

Looks like she is fancying some winter sun. Pulling out all the stops.

She must be milking those gullible and foolish Liverpool fans for thousands per year.

It’s there in red and white, with QR code! Her personal bank account details! How THICK are people?

TO SUPPLY WHAT???! I hate this brazen thieving bleep. That one revolting appeal 'to pay for a babies funeral' when they're free by law should have been enough to end her.

It says there 'donate by the 6th December' so why is she still begging?

Why isn't she a registered charity yet despite a specific grift for it that brought in over a grand? Why isn't there a single corroborating account to back up her tales of woe? Why's she asking for donations to be done via PayPal friends and family?

She doesn't specify which 6th December to be fair

Just had a quick recce and she seems to have deleted these tweets now. Could be wrong though

Imagine. You've been down to M&S and got a beef wellington for one, a fancy dessert for afters, a box of the fancy chocs and some nice drinks, and you're luxuriating in not having to go anywhere or do anything or see anyone, and a neighbour grasses you up to Nichola so they don't have to actually host their "lonely" neighbour.

So she's asking for names, addresses and ages of older and lonely people without their consent to surprise them?
Her arrogance is off the scale.

 

[Hold my beans]

Announcing the vulnerable, elderly residents of Halton who are going to be alone over Christmas. Like an address book of who to rob

Hope they tell her to duck off when she comes knocking

Mr Vint always murmurs 'jammy bastards' when those 'Gladys will be all alone this Xmas' ads come on.

Let's just say I wouldn't be heartbroken, necessarily, if my covid test came back positive.

I wish I were spending Christmas Day on my own. Alas, commitments mean that’s not going to happen. It will do in the future though and if busybodies like nicola ruined my day, I’d be seriously pissed off.*

*Luckily, Nicola won’t be visiting anyone because she’ll be at home admiring the gifts that the people of Liverpool have so generously donated to her family.
