Do they think you are your profile pic?

Unfortunately I think so

I think that people are correct that this woman went by Samantha Cookes in 2013 and is the same woman who went missing then. That photo definitely looks like her and it does mention Ireland.

What I'm not sure about is the surrogate scam. I can't tell if the photo is of her and the article says she was 23 in 2011, but then the Shrewsbury article says she was 24 in 2013. One of the journalists could just be wrong about the age, but I just think it's possible that there is another Samantha Cookes who committed the fraud.

She also could have a legitimate reason for wanting to change her name when she moved to Ireland that isn't related to scams (running from an abusive home etc).

I saw her videos about her AirBnB guests at the time she was posting them (a couple months back). I did think some of what she was saying was off at the time but I didn't think much of it beyond that. Her videos have popped up on my TikTok FYP a lot ever since, discussing the AirBnB thing but also just general videos about disability and her business. Most of the videos didn't have very high views at the time I saw them.

I don't think it's all been a "scam" in the typical way we see scams. She has been making videos a lot for months and not asked for money (other than her online shop but I doubt that got much sales). I do think she has probably lied about the AirBnB thing for attention. I don't want to assume she's also lying about having Huntingtons. She may have Huntingtons and made up this lie about AirBnB because of the depression that comes with a terminal diagnoses. Or, if she doesn't have Huntingtons I think she may have a mental disorder that's contributing to her behaviour.

I don't personally think someone trying to scam people would be stupid enough to lie about an AirBnB lawsuit that doesn't exist when they know AirBnB can just show the proof. I also don't think a scammer would play this much of a long game before asking for any money. I think she is probably mentally unwell and thrived on the attention of it all. I could be totally wrong, but either way the whole thing is very sad.

She could still be the person from the surragate scam, if she were 23 in 2011 for example birthday in October November December time then in 2013 she could well be 24 if it were early 2013 before her birthday

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.

Someone on F1 twitter literally faked terminal cancer and got invited to Mercedes factory. Faked his death and it was all believed for a couple days by everyone. I was one of the few silently questioning it as anyone who spoke out was called all sorts of names. Eventually someone who sent him some merch sent the details to someone who was vocal about not believing him and it all came out to be a total lie, he was alive and well. I often think that he will run another scam like that again and this whole Carrie situation has reminded me so much of it.

Airbnb have the sense not to comment until the case has been investigated, unlike people who would believe a mad claim on a TikTok video with absolutely no supporting evidence.

had no reason not to believe it, so just took it at face value

 

[titan22]

Crazy theory.... don't know if anyone has had this idea yet, but...

Is it possible that the Air B&B didn't really exist? Like Carrantha made the whole thing up? All the reviews, complaints etc? Totally made up?
Have we actually heard from anyone who actually stayed at her Air B&B? Or would that be too far fetched?

I said this a few weeks back and I think it maybe possible. Who knows the truth is probably crazier than our crazy thoughts on this

 

[My2pWorth]

Omg I totally forgot about her. Did she ever get located? Surely she is back to her scamming ways again by now

 

[femmegirly]

I think what a certain tiktoker is forgetting is that while she was still believing Carrie was genuine, most of us didn’t. Did we make smug passive aggressive posts asking for apologies? No. Get a grip.

Nobody here has threatened any tiktokers or bullied them. What an accusation! We might be gossips, but we aren’t evil.

 

[pink_norris]

Have any of the accounts that bought from
Her got any money back yet??? (Or 3D printed sensory items)

No items received of anything

Temporary refunds have been given, the banks will then chase Carrie for the money. If they suspect fraud it’ll go to the banks frauds team for further investigation

 

[pink_norris]

The KD journo could be potentially sitting on a golden ticket, for such a story she could be getting it ready to tout it as package to all avenues of media; or gone into a partnership with another researcher and it’s still in progress. If it really is that explosive she won’t publish yet.

Or it is too litigious and she’s just sidelined it

Either way there is a hell of lot more to this and I don’t think we have heard the last of it

 

[duggee_hug]

I can’t see how people can’t tell that this is the same person? This is how she’d looks 10 years later and with weight gain. Look at the mouth, nose & eyebrows.

‘Samantha cookes’ did the surrogate scam in 2011
She then went missing in 2013
The pink image is ‘Samantha Cookes’ in 2005, looks like she entered a short film competition about .

tbh I feel like her real name is Samantha Cookes and she has used aliases afterwards. No one would want anything to do with her otherwise, cause you’d google her name and the scams would come up.

Is anyone able to watch the bbc video of Samantha Cookes to see if the voice/ features are the same of Jade?

[femmegirly]

it definitely wasn't for clout Krissie hadn't posted about this since the 18th, she posted 2 days ago about the website being down (understandably) and then 1 yesterday which was for Olivia, who had been posting loads about her. Again Bangor has posted today and then yesterday about the website being down but bar that I think it was a week ago about getting her money back. That's why I feel like I've missed some chapters from where yesterday came from and then this evenings drama

You obviously haven’t seen their lives. It’s all they talk about. I always see Krissie in Bangor’s lives commenting about it.

 

[gimm3more]

I wonder whether we’ll see this so-called article today.

There’s an account on TikTok that is making out they know her and is directing some reasonably threatening videos to her about exposing her, but they’ve yet to actually provide any new information or anything that really proves a connection.

Idk what’s worse the fact that this fabricated threat to sue a disabled woman for being a disabled airbnb host blew up, or the rafts of fake stories of people claiming to know the “real her” and the “real story” are now blowing up. It’s exhausting my entire fyp is full of this nonsense

 

[Popolly]

I always thought somthing was a bit fishy but never wanted to question it for the fear of being jumped on i 100% think she was gearing up to set up a go fund me

A few people have purchased sensory stuff for their kids from her website. Which is probably l fake. So there is another fraud potentially?

 

[Seeing_the_light]

Maybe it was twins?

Four years apart?

I'm starting to think the early pregnancy may have been explained as stillborn (baby adopted) and then sadly a SIDS baby years later.

Olivia has made reference to 'now he has left you' so perhaps an equally scammed man has also become aware. Awful times for all involved.

 

[Whattheheck]

What confused me when I first looked at her website after seeing some of her tiktoks was the image quality of the hexagon lights... these lights are popular in gaming set ups so I have looked at them before. Is the grey tile supposed to be white? I reverse imaged searched and looked at quality of the photos and this one matches in terms of the tiny side detail albeit in a different colour order, there are a few others on there as well but I only did a quick search

Also I get those tiktok lives of people 3D printing and it is such a slow process, often people have 24hour live streams for one small item. The surfaces aren't smooth as well because of how the filament works - almost like how wood has a grain.

Surely you would have photos of your 3d printed one

 

[Justacatindisguise]

Half of me hopes that Olivia being a child of hers is untrue, purely because I do not want to believe that Carrie has caused more trauma on someone else, particularly her own child. I messaged the account earlier quite flippantly saying I was intrigued by who she was, but I had no idea I was talking to somebody who is probably the most hurt by the whole situation. My heart goes out to her. She does not deserve any of this shit.

She's posted another video asking you to message her again.

I really hope she has a good support system now, sounds like she's had a rough time in care as well

 

[prettyinpuma]

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

 

[Lalalemon]

I reckon 'Olivia' is just another of Sam's made up personalities.

 

[WhatABore]

Oh this is a brilliant twist. Someone who believes her 100% has called the police for a welfare check


Clearly spoken from someone who has money. The items she was selling were “sensory items” which we can assume are mostly being purchased either by disabled people or by the parent/carers of disabled people who are being hit the hardest by the cost of living crisis. Also is it harder to get your money back as she lives in Ireland? I know so many people who have lost money to scams who simply didn’t get their money back, and those who did rarely got it back in 5 minutes. Assuming again it’s carers or disabled people, these people are already stressed out and under pressure. Hanging around on hold to banks isn’t a simple task like it is for able bodied people/non carers


If she had even denied knowledge of Samantha I might have still believed her! I wasn’t convinced that a random Daily Mail article was her

This is me too.
I wasn't convinced it really looked like her. And now she's said it's her sister, I'm 100% convinced it's her.

I forgot about all of this but “Olivia” came up on my FYP, posted 6 hours ago, something about leaving early this morning. Whole thing is so odd , I was one of the many who fell for The airbnb story and even signed the petition it’s going to bug me for a long time if i don’t know the whole story
