£147, is that for the woman who can’t afford her rent?? 🙄🙄

Coming to say the same thing, she spent £147 when she said she had no money. She's not shown the payment part so wonder if she did get it on Klarna or pay in 3 on PayPal 🙈

I had hoped the comments from people saying not to not pay rent would put her off 😭

So looking at her posts she has spent just short of £600 in a month on Popsy.

I've just ordered some alpaca for a crochet cardigan and I can assure you that none of my knitted or crocheted garments look anything like those!

I now have major clothing envy now! I would love to learn to crochet and alpaca wool is gorgeous, I bought a blanket when I was in Peru that’s my winter treat.

That birthday post by Puddle-Dick tho, it was like a 10yr old’s celebrations! Surely when you’re a grown mother of 2, you’re just grateful to have a cup of tea made for you, not banners hung throughout the house 🙄

Does she post pics of her with the dresses or is this just her 'pretend' basket

She usually posts the actual basket showing total and shipping etc (pays £4.95 for faster shipping) but then posts what she has got. I'm almost certain there are some mental health issues at play here which is why I think she needs to be flagged by mods and some sort of intervention, even if it's just someone from customer care checking in with her.

This post shows how all in she is. She was also wearing popsy tights and had the matching hat in her bag too. It's sad.

To sit around her house or in hospital appointments as she says she never goes anywhere
 
What on earth is this drivel from Nik?? No, I have never wondered what Greasy Gregs fave crisps are. And those colour combos 🙈 the green dress and yello tights is giving me strong Buddy the Elf vibes 🤣🤣

She is working hard for her money today!

The amount she spends for someone who apparently barely leaves the house is crazy. She defo needs help.

I'm potentially playing devil's advocate here, but why should the company have a duty of care that they check people are spending in their means?
Would we be saying the same thing about say Apple, if someone was always buying the new phone/accessories going into debt to do so?
Is it that Popsy is perceived as almost a single person company and that they manage to drive such a high level of FOMO?
I'm not denying she has issues so could do with help.
 
Doesn’t look like that many dresses have sold out to me yet Popsy are implying they have

Corporate Social Responsibility, It’s not ethical to cause a FOMO hype while knowing vulnerable people could face financial hardship.

I agree with this. We don't expect Next or M&S to care about their customers and how they are affording to pay for their multiple orders so why is this any different?

I do agree with you that there isn't a legal responsibility but she posted in the group, which is moderated, that she couldn't afford the items she already purchased. I think adding a group called "frocks and friends" and then not having a duty of care for people is at best naive, and at worst harmful. I'd say most people are able to resist the FOMO but there are so many posts from people already disappointed they didn't get Pixie but lots of then seem to have just bought something else instead 🙈

I'd liken it to a gambling site, which would be required to have an opt out, or a bar where you'll be cut off when they think you've had too much

My issue is that it’s under the guise of being such a friendly and caring company, while in reality all they are interested in is driving sales, which of course all businesses want to do, but don’t make these people feel like they are your best friend. Cherish is a sales woman for her husbands business but they make the vulnerable ones that can’t see through it think she is there to do them a favour out of the goodness of her heart.

It’s worrying. She seems vulnerable and I’m betting some idiots on the group are lending her money. Especially since they push the idea that everyone who owns these dresses is friends and pals.
