    This is one quote I’m sick of reading. Someone makes a post you don’t believe in and the ‘school holiday’ comment comes out.

    Having worked in a school before I’d like to think half of today’s kids could come out with a story with this much intelligence. GCSE pass rates would be soaring!

    I'm not sure I buy the idea that this is a story with much intelligence. If it's a true story it's clearly not the full story, and others have already pointed out some of the queries.

    The OP hasn't come back since - their profile (at the time I write this) states they logged out 8 minutes after posting and haven't been back (as logged in) since. So they hardly seem desperate to get the advice they asked for.

    Frankly any post with wording like "They pay me $150,000.00 per year i get around £9,000.00 per month paid directly via BACS into my account." makes me worry a little. $ or £? Why mention BACS - which is, er, normal. And especially why tell us the trivial details of the pence (particularly as it is zero)? Odd detailing when other info would be more useful. Reads as if written by someone trying too hard.

    Might be genuine, of course, but I'd wager not!

    I get what you are saying, the point I!!!8217;m making is that when I was at school I!!!8217;m sure as hell I didn!!!8217;t know what a BACS transfer was, or a CIFAS for example. They!!!8217;ve certainly done their homework. I mean, where do you even start if it!!!8217;s a made up story from a school kid? It doesn!!!8217;t have much intelligence regards to back story etc I agree, but it requires a lot of research, especially when, as you say, they haven!!!8217;t even logged in to see the outcome. Just my thoughts.
