Just out of interest, I looked up the very first post in this forum, and it's about... a grift! https://tattle.life/threads/jack-monroe-bootstrapcook.4185/
I concur x*Whispers* I think it should have been - Jack Monroe: Saint or Scammer. (Lifted straight from the thread but without the acknowledgement of Molly, so to speak. Although I would hope that it's clear from the discussions that Molly is not connected to Tattle. )
The silence of the Jacks
Omg. That’s truly awfulI’d just like to point out and hope someone on Twitter highlights this, that you can claim back through PayPal if you’ve not paid using Friends and Family. This poor soul, I’d definitely be getting my money back into my account pronto.
Do we think Jack is just going to hide until the next political thing she can squeal about? I honestly think she will just try and brazen in out in her echo chamber.
Yes, likely this, with a smattering of photos showing her living her BESTEST LIFE and being EVER SO GRATEFUL and offering pablum advice about self care and loving yourself, possibly unable to resist occasional references to downsizing and moving and blah blah blah. It's what I would have advised her to do. But there has been a shift, and her grift will have to change, if not end outright.Do we think Jack is just going to hide until the next political thing she can squeal about?

I honestly think if Jack made their Patreon public it would be our collective aneurysm. I am a patreon and pay £2 a month for extra content. They (the patreon I contribute to) have 400 followers with a lower tier than Jack offers and pull in £1600 a month. Jack has twice that many subscribers and her lowest tier is almost double. I do not believe anyone pays £1 per month. Jack is hauling in at least £4000 in my opinion.It was interesting to me (as an American frau) that £200 squig is followed by Barack Obama's account. Then I saw that his account follows 581K people! Anyway, I have a feeling that Jack has been counseled, either by her agent or the attorney she claims to have at her beck and call , not to address AM's post. She can only hurt herself at this point. But what happens next? Does she dare rattle ever again? Does she make her Patreon transparent? I'm looking forward to finding out.
Sadly yes. But I think she got to be scared to raise her head above the horizon now. Even I might shoot across the bow now in public on Twitter in pretence I’ve had my eyes opened by AM, even though I have been on here for honks. She ain’t getting away with the grift anymore.Do we think Jack is just going to hide until the next political thing she can squeal about?

Well, Jack's a well brought up young woman who's just unlucky, not like those smelly tramps who choose drugs and homelessness.The thing I find weird is that people who'd judge and turn their noses up at genuine homeless folk are often the ones who will donate to people like Jack, when if a stranger (which essentially Jack is to most of them) had just come up to them on the street asking for money they'd just tell them
where to go..
She's had a good run - that first 'is she dodgy?' post on Thread #1 was 2020, she'd been at it for years at that point. The kickstarter rip off (my origin story) was a few years prior.Sadly yes.

The silence of the scams, surely?The silence of the Jacks
You have to pay up-front to even make a claim, though there is apparently help available for those on low incomes.I’m sure it’s been addressed before, but UK legal fraus, would Patreon squigs be able to make a small claims court claim for Jack not providing them with the promised stuff? I mean, she’d just ignore it, but eventually she wouldn’t be able to. I’d imagine she’d be made to pay their court fee too
