Reflecting on watching her very first tiktoks, I never doubted her by the way but I was confused about how the guests reacted to the accessible doorbell. Carrie showed a photo and i remember thinking it looked fairly normal, ie you wouldn't even know it was a special doorbell. And i thought accessible doorbells affected the inside more, ie the lights would flash for a deaf person etc. Adding this with the actual review on airbnb by Charlotte... I go between thinking that it:
A) happened the way she said, the guest was rude about disability
B) it's completely false
C) with Carrie's mental health, that she went from 0 to 100 about a fairly innocent comment about the doorbell, fabricated (but genuinely believed) she was a threat to these people and they were a threat to her. The guest review seemed kind of bewildered that Carrie had reacted the way she did.

I feel that some people with Munchausens genuinely believe they are sick and others are fully aware they are faking...

I was watching her videos at the time too and I remember she was filming in her kitchen while the guests were in her house. I remember wondering why she would film in her kitchen when they'd probably hear what she was saying about them and wouldn't that make things worse.

Just my two cents on the housing as I lived in a county a little further north. Where I was, house prices to buy/rent are higher than normal because of the mica crisis (worth a Google and signing your support if you want a genuine cause to get behind as it's awful). Also, since the end of spring people with spare rooms/empty properties are being offered large sums of money to house Ukrainian refugees. This, and the increase of extortionate airb&bs has made it very difficult to find housing.

If she had the means to buy somewhere that's relatively built up and in a tourist location, it would be costly. But raises the question how - did she use her real name? Or have forged documents? Ireland became quite strict with mortgages following the last recession but loosened a little with Covid but they aren't very receptive to applicants without a steady income or good income projections (I'd bother as a self employed person and had to submit all sorts of "evidence").

If she was leasing, they wouldn't allow airb&b or else turn a blind eye if the rent is being paid.

Social housing is hard to come by. It's based on needs so they wouldn't put a single person in a three bed family home when a family may need it, for example. If she was housed due to illness, they may look to have her in a bungalow (as it's easier to move around in) with a routine nurse/case worker visiting or if her health is declining look to house her in a home or community where she can receive around the clock care. I have friends in social housing and the routine property checks (so she can be allocated funds for new furniture or have maintenance work done) are frequent enough so it could be hard to "hide" the fact it's an airb&b?

Also, if she's in receipt of financial aid, this will be routinely assessed where she has to declare income and her bank accounts are monitored. Personally, I experienced a period of unemployment and received job seekers allowance for a few months while looking for work about 8 years ago. I would have home visits to check I wasn't subletting the empty room in my (privately rented) home. My case worker also had printed documents from my (then public) social media accounts like Instagram and LinkedIn, quizzing me on my activities and if any income was received (like helping out at a friend's birthday party). Im sure if this person was running an Airbnb while claiming income support she would be caught. Cash in hand can be hidden handy enough but PayPal receipts and bank transfers? Not so much!

I just thought the perspective could be helpful but mods please remove if needed.

that’s super invasive, is that the standard for Ireland? I’ve not heard of that happening as standard in the uk unless youve been investigated and suspected of lying

Does anyone follow the Olivia page on TikTok? Im so lost by her posts only following this a few days so haven’t a clue

Just as confused as you - to begin with it seemed like they might have some interesting stuff but now I haven’t got a clue

def not the standard here, that poster either got very unlucky or someone was reporting her to the social welfare. We have one of the most generous benefits system and it’s really not that hard to get social housing if you’re willing to live anywhere in the country like the backside of nowhere like Carrie does.

very confusing glad I’m not the only one who can’t work out her clues for tattle

One of the people who ordered has made a video on tiktok with regards to the shop. I’ve not got my detective hat on right now so haven’t fact checked but apparently if you reverse image search the photos on her shop, they can all be found elsewhere online.

Sorry I should have clarified - I live in a county that borders Northern Ireland so it's not uncommon to have people scamming both sides of the border for money or housing - even car tax! So our social offices seem to be extra thorough compared to elsewhere? But then again my case worker was notorious for being so tough. If you mention her by name locally people instantly know and will joke that it's like the money coming out of her own pocket
I only had a brief experience when I suddenly lost my job but I was only out of work for about 2 - 2.5 months. A lot of that time was spent going through the application process.
I second that the system is very generous but it can be tricky to get the support you need in the county where I lived. I can't speak for other areas!

I read your first sentence as “a country” rather than county and I thought you were trying to be mysterious about what country you live in that borders NI

I did a reverse image search of the tiles and the voice-activated light and the source for both is her website. She probably did take the photos but whether she made the products or ever intends to send them is a different thing.

Tiktok misinformation again then! I should really have learned at this point

 

[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

 

[polarbearninja]

If she actually selling the tiles, they're definitely not 3D printed and probably bought from somewhere else. When I googled light up tiles there were varying prices though and Carries tiles are suspiciously cheap compared to most of them.

The lights clearly aren't 3D printed (even though she references printing in the description) as you wouldn't be able to print that material for lights. I haven't been able to find a product that looks similar to it online, but that's probably because I've googled voice activated light and what's pictured isn't actually voice activated at all.

I was kind of giving her the benefit of the doubt on the money scamming front. I did believe even after all this came out that she had the intention of fulfilling the orders (whether through 3D printing or other means) but the time and cost element of 3D printing is making me doubt that now. Along with the fact that she has no real examples on her website (other than crappy grainy photos that may or may not be hers) and the fact that some of the things she promised can’t even be created with a 3D printer.

This leads me to believe the thing I least wanted to believe: that she purposely set out to financially scam disabled people.

I could accept some kind of munchausens. I could accept the previous scams when she was younger. I could even accept that the mental illness may have led to her faking a physical illness. I could accept that trauma might have caused her to act this way. I still felt some empathy. I thought the pressure with the orders might have become too much after the backlash and she was in full avoidance mode.

But I now believe she genuinely, calculatedly planned to scam disabled people and their carers which is disgusting.

She was also going to 3d print giant clear bubble tubes and things that didn’t make sense to 3d print.

I think the sensory stuff was a scam too and mental illness does not excuse scamming the parents of disabled children

Latest development. Olivia on TikTok is allegedly another of Samantha’s children.

Latest development. Olivia on TikTok is allegedly another of Samantha’s children.

And Krissie has commented saying “we know the childrens names and Olivia isn’t one of them”.
I wonder how many she has had?

They're surely a troll right?

I thought earlier that the Olivia page was Carrie but now im not so sure. Could Olivia be a child she had years ago. I really hope she’s not. What a life she must of had who ever runs that page seems hurt, sad and angry and if true makes this whole saga so sad. Looks like it was Olivia who started the whole thing with showing who Carrie really was.

The Krissie page has really overstepped by posting the notebook to begin with and now saying she knows all the childrens names, she couldn’t possibly know everything in a few days and who’s to say Olivia wasn’t born 15/16 years ago in England. Krissie should really take a step back. This is so much more than just Carrie being a fraud

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 tit.

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

So sad if true but After everything she has said recently I think Olivia might be Samantha … seriously confusing if so though
