British TikTok Star Jailed in Thailand Over Visa and Benefit Fraud


Recommended Posts

Arrested for overstaying visa? 

 

What sort of work was she doing? Judging by her videos, there is probably one a few things she has any talent for.

 

If she is claiming benefits she should be reporting back every few months.

 

She's got plenty of kids apparently. 

 

At first i thought she was trolling, being outrageous - but this is something else. 

 

I doubt any of her story, even the suffering in jail tale - the gofundme setup always raises suspicion.

Ellis Matthews, a British TikTok influencer from Lancashire, has found herself in a Thai prison for overstaying her visa. Known online as @mumontheruninasia, Ellis attracted attention for sharing her lavish lifestyle, funded by UK benefits allegedly. The 32-year-old moved to Thailand four years ago, documenting her life to over 16,000 followers. However, her controversial tips on claiming benefits while living abroad backfired, leading to a police raid at her Pattaya home.

 

Ellis, who claimed £2,300 monthly due to purported mental health issues, now faces grim conditions in detention. Meanwhile, doubts about the legitimacy of her benefits claims loom large. British authorities do permit some overseas benefit claims, but Thailand isn't typically approved.

 

 

The arrest also sparked a fundraising effort garnering little support and mixed reactions online. Despite the turmoil, Ellis’s three-year-old son, Cairo, remains in Thailand, but his mother’s older children remain in the UK.

The case, tangled in claims and scepticism, echoes Ellis’s past controversies, including an unrecorded compensation claim and prior legal issues in the UK. With authorities watching closely, her future hangs in the balance, creating a poignant spectacle for family and followers alike, reported The Thaiger.

The problem is she has a history of (and im being generous) exagerating claims. Can anyone believe this?

 

Noticed this thread is very quiet with Brits on this forum ,who would usually be all over it. Most likely hoping this story gets no traction of foreigners sitting abroad claiming benefits - COS THERE IS ALOT OF THEM DOING THIS. 

Yes, raiding up would be appropriate. And out with all that riffraff here. Implement new Visa rules. Visa free only for 2 weeks, no DTA. There is even more to do.

How did she fund that awful cosmetic surgery?

She didn't. She thought she could out-fight joe Bugner.
