To ignore this facebook message?

[listsandbudgets]

On my facebook list I have an old friend who I've not really been in touch with for a few years.

I've just had the following message from her:

Hi would love to catch up with you. Maybe we can meet next time you're down in London. I've got a business proposition for you and your dp too - me and my boyfriend have started up a new company and we're looking for about £5k investment. Thought it would be right up your street. Can't wait to see you.

So after about 4 years of not contacting us she suddenly pops up and asks us for £5k!

AIBU to just ignore her and most likely unfriend her.

YANBU. How strange, and rude!

Defo! It's probably one of those pyramid scheme's. Maybe she's sent it to like 25 people. Defriending for shiz.

Well she's got more front than Blackpool, hasn't she?

I would just unfriend and block her.

Haha! Ignore and unfriend.

Reply with "LMAO you almost had me there" :)

Gosh no
Bloody cheeky FB post---- they are only after your money and have probably FB'ed everyone they know to scrounge money
YANBU.

Defriend...

Ignore it, sounds like a scam!

I'd be sarcastic if it were me. 'That's amazing, what a coincidence we have £5k going spare and were going to blow it on a top notch trip to Egypt to see the pyramids'.

I'd send a message back to advise she's probably been hacked.

Then block.

I actually think it's quite good she's been upfront. Could be worse, you could have thought "How lovely, I really could do with meeting up with an old friend" and then sat at a sales pitch.

Thank her for her honesty, say you're not interested in an investment, wish her luck then unfriend.

defriend.

Had similar, but it was a mother's sister estranged family member who first of all invited themselves to stay for a weekend, then looked around our house and commented that clearly we were doing 'well' for ourselves and asked us to invest in their failing vineyard in South Africa.

Definitely would suggest she's been hacked since you know shed of course never be that cheeky

I had a "friend" like this.

I unfriended after a few months of being hassled and politely saying no.

Ignore and defriended

Talk about a brass neck! I would unfriend her.

Perhaps it's just as well you haven't been in touch for some time.

If she can ask for £5000 from someone she never sees, imagine what she'd expect from someone she sees on a regular basis.

She has signed up for a pyramid scheme and has contacted everyone she can remember.
Just block and forget her.

I'd say she's been hacked. It sounds a bit too obvious to just come out and ask for 5k after years of no contact.
Or she could just be a cheeky biatch.

Either way, defriend and block.

bets on one of those mlm schemes, i've had an acquaintance who suddently wantd to be my best friend meeting up all the time b/c she wanted me to buy into her mlm scheme.
