    When Kimberley Baker first met Helen Dove the pair quickly became best friends and Kimberley later asked Helen to be the head bridesmaid at her upcoming wedding. Helen said she would help Kimberley to secure the career that she always dreamed of. After taking voluntary redundancy from her job, Kimberley proceeded to spend 7 months working over email with her new ‘colleagues’. However, this was all a lie, Helen had manufactured this imaginary job and played the role of fictional employees - costing Kimberley upwards of £50,000 in debt and forcing her to cancel her wedding. Now that the person she once called her best friend is behind bars, Kimberley joins us alongside her fiancé Phillip to share her terrifying story of betrayal.

    Sorry this isn’t a cautionary tale, she just was extremely naive. Why would anyone quit their job before they’ve had a solid start date established in writing from a traceable individual in a company?

      They took loans out on credit cards to tie them along and also the wedding didn’t go ahead so they lost the amount they paid for it ( can be expensive) plus they lost the wage for all that time. 2k+ a month adds up quick. That becomes 4k+ a month if they are using credit cards to surplus that amount.

    My parents told us never leave a job until you know for sure you have a job.
    I never heard of you cant get a job or have a job while waiting for a job acceptance. Is this a thing in UK.
    If Helen was working how was she with couple so much. Helen should have her own tthings to do. Who says your name is on a desk? How do you get back wages if you didnt work?
    If you apply for a job, you either apply online or you bring application back in person yourself. You call yourself to check on your application status. I dont understand why this couple let Helen be in charge of her job application and status.

      I think they were duped into her giving up her job, which in turn left her losing income and getting into debt elsewhere to cover expenses. Don’t think they spent £50K on a wedding, I think they had to cancel because she was left with no income

    • @arfriedman4577
      @arfriedman4577 15 днів тому

      I think they lost that money because they were both paying bills at separate locations and maybe they had deposits and paid for some wedding stuff.
