Yes excatly, it says more about them than anything else. Sick twisted minds to go there😳 tattle is a gossip site, we are gossiping and speculating on here and keeping it on here not spouting vile and disgusting things about a man and a child. Won’t be giving the likes of that anymore of my time either
It's really odd how they don't seem to understand that it's gossip and speculation, mostly based on hypotheticals. Unless there are official records to verify (eg all Samantha's family, which they were happy to believe), nothing here is being treated as fact. We're not involved, we don't stand to gain or lose anything, we just like to watch a good shitshow unfold.

I've just come searching for specifically this 😂

I looked at the articles and I don't think it even really looks like her? 🤔

But even if it was, it also doesn't mean what she's doing now is a scam.

People are saying it could be a smear campaign by the lobby group...
Who are the lobby group? I've never heard of it.

Everyone's also saying that she's clearly guilty because she's turned off her comments and deleted videos ect.
Tbh, I'd do the same if all of a sudden people were attacking me!
Guilty or not

I haven't really been following this story so I have no idea who some of the people mentioned are and how they're involved. I've tried to look back through the thread to give myself an idea but I'm so confused 😂

I always thought CJW was lying about the Air B&B thing as a way to go viral to get more sales for her sensory shop and was sort of expecting that to be exposed one day. I had no idea that the whole shop might have been a scam though 🤯

I'm in two minds about that article. It's always good when a scammer gets called out because it ends the scam and protects potential future victims. But I don't think the contents of the notes found by CJW's former employer should have been published. It benefits no one to have that information out there and it feels exploitative to use such a tragic and vulnerable part of someone's life to make your article more interesting. Unless the notes are related to the scams in a way that I haven't worked out? Like I said, I haven't followed this story so I could have missed the connection there.

The deleting is very suspicious. I wasn’t suspicious as she hadn’t asked for money. I also don’t find it hard to believe that there’s an awful lobby group out there funding this. We need a statement from air bnb.

Notes on the live last night:

For the purpose of this write up I’m taking everything that was said at face value. I’m also going to just refer to her as Carrie.

- as an au pair Carrie first got found out to be a fake because of a taxi driver’s suspicions. He overheard her saying a few different things with regards to her job title. At one point she claimed to be a speech therapist, at other points she claimed to be an occupational therapist, amongst other things.
  • Carrie’s cousin was present in the live. When Carrie’s cousin brought up to Carrie’s brother that Carrie was up to no good again his response was “I guess she’s used up her inheritance then”
  • A school friend in the chat commented “she claimed to have a serious illness when she was younger. We all believed it.”
  • The same school friend also commented that she always had an obsession with children and having children.
  • The article is coming but could be a while off due to the volume of information that the journo has received and she has to keep fact checking
  • One of her old employers entered the chat, known only as Dot. Dot said Carrie accused her children of stealing an engagement ring that she had from her fiancé who had committed suicide. When asked whether Carrie at least treated her children well her response was “debatable”
  • The person mentioned above is someone both creators have spoken to at great length - I believe her to be true.
  • Carries mother has asked for the creator known as Olivia to get in contact with her.
Think she’s aware that OT and SALT are protected titles in the UK and Ireland with it being a criminal offence to assume them without registration?

Some creators are being extremely childish. Have I thought olivia might be Sam? Yes of course but I also think she might be an 18 year old who is going through it right now and I won’t add to that. They are also running with the idea that we think Olivia is the dead baby which is what I posted earlier as I couldn’t remember the dates of that. We quickly cleared that up tho! My friend had a baby at 15 and no1 outside her immediate family knew until baby was 6mths and she was comfortable with every1 knowing so it’s very plausible.
Exactly! Do I want it to be true? No, of course I don't want any child to have been through that! Have stranger things happened? Yes. Do lots of kids start looking for their birth parents at 18? Yes.

Did anyone find Olivia Williams on ancestry? The most recent photo of her looks exactly like a thinner, younger Samantha.
There are a few about the right age with mother's maiden name Williams. None under Cookes. It's quite a common name along the Welsh border. I was talking to my mum about it the other day because she does a lot of Ancestry stuff (it's her account I've been borrowing 😅) and she reckons Samantha could have lied about her name and used Williams. Difficult to tell more than that without ordering birth certificates which I'm obviously not gonna do.

I just can't get my head around the logic of someone potentially faking a terminal illness. She would have to end up faking her own death at some point and that just seems like such a complicated thing to do just to get some attention. Even if she'd get some sort of financial gain out of it, it still seems like such an elaborate process, but reading the input of people who have actual experience with the disease it seems likely that she is faking it.

I honestly cannot believe that anyone still thinks Olivia can be Sam’s child, like I understand we don’t have proof of stuff but the fact everyone seems to be like ‘it is possible and stranger things have happened’ people have spoken to Sams mum and sams mum has confirmed she wasnt pregnant as a young teen.
I hope whoever Olivia is she gets help
Don't believe this one's her daughter
Do believe that one's her mum

Right.

Is there a reason why you aren’t naming the other creator? I know who it is, but just wondering why the other creators aren’t being named.

What did the cousin say? She’s the only person who I believe is real out of all the friends and family I’ve seen so far.
I’m just not naming because they are small accounts and don’t want to break tattle rules with regards to public creators, I mentioned the other one because she gave permission.

The cousin mainly confirmed what she already has - that CJW has no sisters, only brothers and that to her knowledge there is no history of HD in the family. She also confirmed what the brother said about the inheritance (ie, that she must have burnt through it)

She's being doing all this scamming for so long I really wonder where she's gone now and how she's managing to live without it
I imagine she won’t be living without it, she’s just doing what she always does when things go south. New identity and new scam.

I tried to download the video and post if here but it’s too long - Primal Empress just posted a stitch video with Lyn who is the mother of the disabled child and the daughter who was promised Lapland. If you can find that (she has over 100k followers so she’s easy to find) and watch the original video that she stitched with it’s awful, literally made cry. This is the shit this woman has done to people.
She also mentions that there will be more articles and a documentary. Apparently the first article hasn’t even scratched the surface. I guess time will tell if this is sensationalism or if there truly is lots more to know.

Her cousin Natalie Cookes has posted a video on TikTok. I looked her up on Facebook and she looks very like Carrie/Samantha. You can click through her profile and see the extended Cookes family all still living in Gloucester. The resemblance is uncanny. Very uncommon surname.
I've found a bunch of Williams through one of the Cookes as well.

Just got this.

I stayed in an Airbnb recently and on getting the keys and settling in we got a text from the person asking us to say we are her friends if any neighbours asked 😂 pretty sure she was renting the place and occasionally putting it on Airbnb. Later found her again with a uni halls room on there so anything is possible if you are bold enough to do it 😂
