Monthly cash into TSB account?

Since the OP says the 'dear friend' has a  ledger and her husband was  responsible for getting the money before he 'went away for 3 years' I think there is more to this than lending a 'dear  friend' some money.

The OP is just messing about - they have three threads that are just there to waste people's time

Amusing though!

Only half?

The only surprise is with so many kids off school there isn't more wind-ups..

I'm scared off eating my Nature Valley crunchy bar over my iMac keyboard, it really is a scary thought indeed....

These days someone else cannot pay cash into your account. Deposits need to be made by the account holder using their card. (Don't even think of giving her your card to impersonate you!!!) The reason is that this is classic money laundering behaviour. There is no audit trail with cash - nobody knows where it has come from, so it could be fraud or drugs or any other such illegal activity as far as banks are concerned.

Oh I didn't realise this. My husband normally deals with the finances but he's away for 3 years. I just find it inconvenient having to pay her visits every 4 weeks as she can be difficult.

Is your hubby in prison then.

That's meant to be the story, yes.

What surprises me most is that so many regular forumites respond to these stories as if real, thereby giving the trolls the airtime they thrive on which ultimately clogs up the boards.
There have been hundreds of fake threads here over the past 2 months, some very easy to spot when looking at writing styles, phrases or particular words used. They follow very similar patterns, not to mention how unbelievable most of them are.
