Scum

Was on Facebook earlier. Noticed a women selling a cooker and a fridge. These are items from the welfare fund a policy setup to protect poor people that have nothing.

Got into an argument with the women on the chat. Total scum.

How else is she going to pay for her fix?

How did she get her hands on them? And once she has them is she allowed to do what she likes with them?

You'll have to tell me more about this because at the minute I don't really know enough to give an actual ****.

Making money off the back of a charity, scum indeed

Thekwango · 15 Oct 2015 at 01:04

So am I right in says no she was given these by a charity as she was deemed hard up?

What's her reason for selling them? Maybe it's legit, eg needs the money to feed herself, pay rent/electricity bill or similar?

Tell us more about the argument, how did it progress.

How do you know this woman, I assume you do and didn't just happen upon her Facebook page?

not surprising - a lot of actual poverty in this country these days is down to poor desicions not lack of resources/benefits

£50 each is pretty cheap, she must be desperate

The way a lot of charities do for themselves and their management?

MrMoonX · 15 Oct 2015 at 06:40

How do u know where she got them? And was it really worth posting here, seems like a wasted post

neil_g · 15 Oct 2015 at 06:46

Report her to someone that might be able to do something (I.e. the charity) rather than a computer forum?

What? Do something sensible? Nah it's easier to post on a forum

Joking aside I use to help deliver items like this for a local charity in my 20s, I'd regularly see the same people putting the furniture etc that I'd delivered up for sale, even had one instance where they'd "promised it to a cousin" and tried to get us deliver it directly, when we look into it further it turned out they'd sold it, been paid and were trying to redirect us to the buyers house.

I lost faith in the whole charity thing after a few years of that, addicts particularly IMHO really aren't worth helping in that way, they can't control it and until they do you're just throwing resources down a bottomless pit.

How do you know she got them from a welfare fund?
If you have proof then perhaps she does need reporting because somebody is going to get a bargain.

Greebo · 15 Oct 2015 at 07:45

Can you give me her contact details, I need a new fridge freezer and at 50 quid it's a bargain

Josh · 15 Oct 2015 at 08:03

Welfare fund, so if she sells them it is "well fair init".

Never buy second hand refrigeration.
