Why do people try to 'hide' behide new identities. Surely you don't think you are that transparent?
More often than not, we (yep, us oldies who have been around the block more times than we probably would like to admit), see these 'newbies' rock up, some with sob stories, some with WOW stories, but sooner or later, the penny drops. No not newbies at all, and ALL the help they asked for and often us (SUCKERS!!) have given to them.
Do they have these pseudos in real life?
Do they remember what day they are what person?
Do there husbands and families know who they are REALLY living with?
No wonder a person gets sick and tired of the same ol same ol

Last night when i read your post Julie I was scratching my head thinking who who who ..... but this morning the penny has dropped. I know of at least 2 people on here at present with new identities. One I stumbled on by accident and as they are keeping such a low profile I couldnt see any way anyone would have guessed so I was buttoning my lip on that one. But the other one has now hit me like a ton of bricks as I actually have them on my msn list and so I know they are on here now with a different id. To be honest I feel silly. I replied to their posts in good faith thinking they were new. But now its so obvious they are not. I dont understand why they are pretending to be new either.
Its all a bit disheartening.

Hi
I am not sure who you are talking about either but it's scarry to think someone on here would be taking advantage.

I must say i can relate to how frustrating this can be. Had a real blast from the past contact me recently. And it really ticked me off!
After all the trouble and $$$$ she cost me i thought 'how dare she?'. The nerve of some people.
But i was the bigger person (not just cause im pregnant!) - i sighed - took a deep breath and blocked this person from contacting me ever again.
Over it and onto better things.
So maybe people will realise why others get so annoyed with what is going on.

Can we have some knowledge of these people?If they are ripping us off a little public humiliation wouldnt go astray!

I totally agree! I am generally quite trusting of the members here, but would love to know who is not doing the right thing so I can steer clear of them!!
We have a thread for "shameless" advertising,
perhaps we need one
for "Shameful" advertising, and share our
"shame on you" stories!!

How dare you guys be like this.. You are nothing than a bunch of women who has to put down people. Stop it!! People change their identities cos of people like you.. They want peace, not to be ridiculed. You dont know people who you are talking about, and until you really know them then keep your mouth shut.
People have come here in good faith.. It feels like friggin high school in here.. Bunch of snobs..
Snazza replied:
Jae (Lilymoon),
I feel obliged to speak up here as I have posted in this thread and therefore must be one of the "snobs" you are speaking about.
Firstly my post wasnt directed at you personally. It was regarding another member who gave the illusion of being new and introduced themselves as that. They had many people welcoming them, but at no time pointed out they were who they were. They were searching for a new pp. I replied and gave them info. I have since found out who this person was and was a bit annoyed about the fact that I had in fact already spoken to them previously about my pp and therefore had not needed to REPEAT myself. NOTHING SNOBBY in that!!
At the end of the day we are all entitled to an opinion and mine is that its better to be open and honest with people in who you are as in general if you dont it makes people wary of you. JMO

First of all this is OFF YOUR CHEST and that is what we are doing. We certainly dont' need the likes of a serial pp telling us to keep our mouths shut. For us legitimate businesses we struggle enough with the limited amount of time and the huge amount of work we have to accomplish. Having immature and time wasting enquiries from people that are afraid of their true identity really starts to take its toll. When YOU in fact find the PP thats right for YOU why not be honest and upfront, instead of pretending to be a NEW person.
You know some of us have been around the block a few times and are not afraid to admit to it!
So Lilymoon, or is it Jae or Jazzy???or Chocs ???? Sorry, just one of my honest moments.
