Hi Liz, The regulars in the local were wondering where he got his money from he hasn't worked for over a year yet he was in there every day drinking double Jack Daniels & coke's like they were going out of fashion !!!!!!!!! I've heard of have a drink on me but that's ridiculous !!!!!!!! Lying thieving little Sh*t People are queing up to give him a slap this is a small town and she was well liked & respected His only hope of survival at the moment is to leave town and change his identity!!!!!!!!!!

Claire, what an evil b*****d, but it is so obviously a lie, as if your mum would get him to draw out such an amount daily. The staff still seem to me to be at fault as they should have made sure the necessary paperwork was completed, and queried such odd happenings. How can he sleep at night? You must be in turmoil over it all, take care Liz

Hi Purple He admitted to withdrawing the money but told the police she asked him to do it and that he gave the money to her and that we the family must have found it and are hiding the fact. He reckons we are out to get the Post Office to compensate us so we get double. It's not us her three children that would have had it.h He's taken it from her 11 grandchildren whom she wanted to have it. She didn't give a fig about us, like she said we've all got our lives settled its the young ones who need a boost she said it was their WAHOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!!!!!!!!! money and he's taken it !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Claire xxxx

Hi Rosie Yes they do send out statements but only three times a year. It wasn't until after the post office sent the cheque to me that I looked for them. They certainly made interesting reading. An average of £75 a day was being withdrawn and nobody at the post office counter thought to speak to me about it. Like I said earlier they thought it was strange as they knew she never touched that account, but that didn't stop them allowing it to carry on. The withdrawals only started about 8 months ago and Over £9000-00 gone poof !!!

My goodness, that is crazy, the Post Office staff should take the blame as much as the fraudster, why on earth would your poor Mum want to have £75 daily, bless her. I would think with those details available, the staff there should be hanging their heads in shame and offering to refund the money from their own wages. So obvious things weren't right, why the heck didn't they query it with you? And how stupid of the person doing it, are they really thick that they didn't realise they would be found out. It is sad to realise your Mum was being 'cared for' by someone deliberately out to defraud her. Liz

Hi Claire I too remember your thread about your Mum's passing, and I'm so sorry that you have this awful situation to go through on top of it. When my Mum passed away a few months ago, everything was straightforward but Dad (and me too, being the executor) had to fill in a form everywhere we went and keep proving who we were, so it sounds as if the Post Office are as much to blame for not checking this person's credentials out. I hope it gets sorted out without too much extress distress for you. Mandy x

Thats the lowest of the low. Do the PO not send statments out like banks?

Claire, I am so sorry you have had such a rotten thing happen after losing your Mum, and to think this was a friend of the family did this dishonest thing, some friend! I do hope they will admit what they have done, but will they have spent the money or will you have any chance of getting it back? You must have felt sick to the stomach when you found out what was happening, especially at a time you are grieving and want no more problems. Will be thinking of you and hoping this gets dealt with quickly and satisfactorily. Liz

Sorry to hear about your mum, it is hard enough I know coping with your grief and sorting out all the paperwork besides, without someone doing this despicable thing. I hope the police get a confession and throw the book at the person responsible. Rosexx

Lickle nudge I don't want to hear about another victim!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

bloody hell that's awful. I had a very similar experience but it was the woman who lived with my dad nothing we could do, but she got everything even though my dad told my daughter she was to get most of his shares ect, this woman cashed the lot in. Very sad as it's not what my dad wanted.

So sorry this has happened to you.I work in sheltered housing and work alongside of carers.We do have a lovely bunch.They also safe guard themselves by telling any of us what money they have collected and what it was for.When i went for a caring job there was loads of restrictions.Think agency's do let us down though as i dont think they have the checks that we have. Annie

Claire I am so sorry that you had to go through this on top of everything else you have had to deal with - this low life will get what is coming to him, if not right now then later, but I do hope that is sooner rather than later. ((Hugs)) Debs x

I'm glad to hear that news Claire - good luck! Maz. XX

Hope good things work out for you Claire and that justice is seen to be done! Mauxx

Absolutely disgusting; so sorry to hear of this, Claire. It's all you needed at a time like this. x

Old Bill have just left They are going to arrest him tomorrow using me as the victim they are hoping he will crack. To be fair they are trying their best Once again thanks for your support Claire xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx

Hi Claire, I remember your original thread, I'm so sorry to hear your mum has been robbed in this way. My mum had a stroke last year and to access her card account I had to fill out a form and get it signed by her. Do you know if your mum actually did that for this 'carer', or do you think he forged her signature, or was he using mum's card? Either of the last 2 and surely he can be prosecuted for fraud. Can't believe that the police say there is no victim - that's just ridiculous! Surely at the time he drew the money out, your mother was still alive! Maybe you should get advice from a solicitor, or contact a more senior police officer and someone higher up in the post office? I'm sure the local paper would be interested in the police not following this up. I hope you get some justice. Maz. XX

well give us all his name then write to all those female mags so hes named and shamed.....B******d, where is he dont let me get my hands on him... I,m so sorry about your problems at times like this words cant say how you feel and what you want to do Take care and look after yourselves

Get the Post Office to prove that your Mum authorised this scum to withdraw the money
