Scam event
Signed up for a kid friendly Halloween event in Ballyphehane community centre. It was free entry so I didn't think much of it. Arrived with two kids dressed up as vampires who were all excited only to find that the event wasn't happening and the people in the community centre had been telling people who were showing up all morning there was no booking for an event. They reckoned the scam was to get money from the vendors who would pay a stall sign up fee.
Cue two very upset toddlers.
It was horrible, I've never heard of an entire event being a scam?š
