Dear Ann Landers columns on family fraud and gifting ethics
A reader explains a relative used her granddaughter's name and Social Security number to obtain phone service, prompting fraud charges and family strain. Ann counsels forgiveness, but advises clearing Tiffany’s record and repaying the debt, urging reconciliation. A second letter asks how a teen should handle unpaid pet-sitting fees, with guidance to set written agreements and a celebratory charity gift idea. The third letter praises a gift-less birthday plan that channels money toward charity, endorsing the approach for future occasions.
