Do we know what name under?

Im clueless as to how to link a thread so you can read it but I have copied and pasted the thread containing the link to mums net . You can read the post which they think *may* be Andy.

Hi, i'm trying to find the troll post about the couple on DLA and ESA with too much money too spend - if you remember they bought their child an expensive car but still have too much money

Joy any memories?

i'm trying to post the link on netmums as i'm pretty sure they've 'popped' up again this time as a single mum

Thanks

For a masterclass in how to bemuse and wind-up members of forums, have a browse of this spectacular car crash of a thread to see how amateur Andy is by comparison. Absolutely no one understands who is genuine or not. Surreal.

I LOVE that thread. Brilliant.

Isn't it spectacular, though? It's the forum equivalent of the film 'Inception'.

Makes all the fake posts from pretend benefit claimants claiming to be living it large seem quite amateur and wooden, by comparison.

@OP
You do need a help from mental health professional If you are not seeing one yet, just speak to your gp about your obsession, grandiose etc

ETA: But you can write sentences and especially good at creative/imaginative writing so there is hope should you decide to become an author and publish your own book. £££

I hope genuine new posters do not get scared away by these knee jerk reactions.

I recently posted in another forum about issues I experienced with my bank after setting up a DD. I was labelled 'just some scaremonger' by another poster and after a half hearted attempt to reassure them I was describing a genuine experience and was only trying to help I gave up, removed my posts and left them to find out for themselves.

And I have to say I'm not very proud of myself for doing this but it was for me the least stressful way of dealing with a false accusation.

How much worse if someone comes to THIS forum for help, already very distressed, and they are immediately driven away by a crass remark.

Yes point out a troll if you think you spot one but perhaps tone down the rhetoric just in case... one more person disbelieving them might just be the final straw for someone.
