However, as alluded to earlier, there is a certain troll whose aim is to string out a long threads by drip feeding information, changing the story cover their tracks when things are getting close to being revealed as a hoax and with the purpose of causing divide and unrest amongst long-time users. They have a distinctive writing style designed to evoke sympathy and concern. This thread has all of that.
I'm surprised to see certain users, who have been victims of this troll before, haven't twigged yet.
There, I said it.
So what? I don't really care if the OP is real or not. This thread has been an interesting read. I'd never heard of the term 'catfish' before. It's kept me amused while I'm at work and for that it is to be applauded."If you think it's expensive to hire a professional to do the job, wait until you hire an amateur." -- Red Adair0 -
There are a few chunks of the OP that are 'removed by the MSE Forum Team.' Unfortunately, they didn't remove it for a couple of days, so everybody already saw what she said!0

There are so many quotations and references in others' posts that the poor moderators are going to be very busy if they hope to blank out every detail which may lead to id... so why else do this? I'm intrigued (again)...This is a system account and does not represent a real person. To contact the Forum Team email forumteam@moneysavingexpert.com0

Hey Shelly
I'm a new poster here. How did you get on with this in the end? I hope you've managed to move on and forget about that low life

I'm going to have to ask the obvious question here as to how a new poster accidentally
stumbles upon a controversial old thread that's lurking in the archives from 3 months ago and innocently manages to resurrect it?All shall be well, and all shall be well, and all manner of things shall be well.
Pedant alert - it's could have, not could of.0 -
