    So I am guessing we are never going to see this video?

    Definitely not.

    As I said in the first thread, when I am sceptical about something, I am almost always right. And on this occasion I was too.

    What a shame that this poster conned so many people. They are no longer a member, so yes it was a massive wind-up. The whole tale was a lie from start to finish. But why? What was the point?

    A small number of people saw through it from the start, like I did, and you too fufu, but sadly, many people were conned.

    No wonder newbies have such a hard time on here when someone registers to post a massive lie, to try and con the members here.

    The people who were very supportive of the OP and who attacked people who weren't, have gone surprisingly quiet. ;)

    I thought it was cobblers as well, I know some people on these forums have met on here and got married, but I think its highly unlikely that someone would start a thread proposing and then say that later in the week they were going to post a video up of said proposal.

    Even more unlikely if the poster was new. I think anyone who gave fufu a tough time for the so called nasty PM should also have a bit of a rethink.

    I agree. I think a few people owe some apologies to a few people, and as I said, a few people have gone very quiet.

    Obviously, there was no PM sent to that username 'Jen's Honey.' As soon as 'Jen's Honey' said on here that fufu had sent a PM, I went from being sceptical about the OP's story, to flat out disbelieving it.

    I didn't believe for a second that fufu had sent a nasty message to the OP - that is why I said printscreen the PM then and show it to us, and fufu gave their permission too, But the proof of the PM never came, just like the video of the non-existent proposal. The reason for this was because neither one existed.
  • Thanks to those who believed me and backed me up. Why the OP felt the need to do any of this I will never know.

    Same. So was it all a lie then?

    So we aren't ever going to see the video then?

    How does anyone know that the OP is 'no longer a member?'

    No worries Judi, I appreciate the apology and can see how some people might have been taken in.

    Someone linked to it from another thread. It was because of the fight that happened on this one.
