Naming and shaming on FB

A friend of a friend is disabled. She is trying to get donations for a charity she is involved with.
She is sending PM begging for money for this even to the point of giving out her bank account details.
If you haven't replied with in an hour she sends another message asking yes or no.
And keeps it up until you have replied.
I sent £10 which in these difficult times is a good amount.
Woke up this morning to see on FB names of people who haven't donated with a thumbs down emoji.
Anyone who had donated had the amount by their names and an emoji good or bad.
I got a bad review.
Aibu to be upset.

No YADNBU. What a bike thing to do.

ScrumptiousBears · 13/02/2021 09:23

This is unacceptable and I'd call her out on it. She definitely wouldn't be my friend anymore.

VinterKvinna · 13/02/2021 09:24

I would say, "why is my name here?, are you trying to shame me for not donating to your chosen charity?"

bonfireheart · 13/02/2021 09:24

I'd unfriend her.

RoseAndRose · 13/02/2021 09:24

No YANBU

I would tell her, probably privately, that I was sad to seen the donation was unwelcome. And that in future you will never donate in this way again, only ever directly to registered charities.

I'm a sceptic, and wouldn't have gone through sinejbe else's own bank account in the first place

cherryolives · 13/02/2021 09:25

I'd block her, she's bullying people.

CaptainVanesHair · 13/02/2021 09:25

Absolutely awful! Why are donations going to her bank account anyway? That’s not right!

PurplePi · 13/02/2021 09:25

Tell the CF that you want your tenner back!

SwanShaped · 13/02/2021 09:25

I don’t think the charity would be happy with her methods. I’d contact them.

Waxonwaxoff0 · 13/02/2021 09:26

What an arse. I'd be blocking her.

LibrariesGiveUsPower45321 · 13/02/2021 09:27

Unfriend and block!

Misericordia · 13/02/2021 09:28

What a CF. Has she even donated?

Yes, the nerve of her. This would make me furious, her attempt to shame... she made herself look bad.

I give a lot to WA and nothing else tbh because so many people ignore women's issues.

Fembot123 · 13/02/2021 09:28

That’s awful, £10 is a great donation. No good deed goes unpunished.

BananasAboutBananas · 13/02/2021 09:29

Complain to the charity - that's terrible.

FossilisedFanny · 13/02/2021 09:29

Collecting for charity and asking for the money to be paid into her account? Hmm I would be publicly calling her out on this. Cheeky fucker

SingingLoud · 13/02/2021 09:29

I would comment on the post - “I’ll have my £10 back. I felt bullied into sending you the money by your persistent messaging, on reflection I’m not comfortable with you collecting for a charity via your own bank account, I’d rather donate to the charity direct”.

Shine a light on what she’s doing. She’s not a friend. You’ve got nothing to lose.

Onlinedilema · 13/02/2021 09:30

I would block her/remove her as a friend. That is unaccetable.

Dogscanteatonions · 13/02/2021 09:31

I would never donate to someone's bank account - it's so easy to set up a just giving page. I would definitely call her out on this

SchrodingersImmigrant · 13/02/2021 09:31

Absolutely call her out and let the charity know. She is just tuining their name now.

And then explain very shortly, that you are against bullying and unfriend

SchrodingersImmigrant · 13/02/2021 09:31

Unfriend irl too btw

Yup.
LittleOwl153 · 13/02/2021 09:32

I'd report the post to Facebook and have it taken down.
I'd also unfriend her and stop anyone tagging you who is not your friend.

And yes I'd probably ask for my £10 back.
Thats horrific behaviour!!

PurplePi · 13/02/2021 09:32

The cheek, the nerve, the gall, the audacity and the gumption!

Hexinthecity · 13/02/2021 09:35

She’s an arsehole, that’s fucking low. Honestly I’d post back, normally I wouldn’t get into any kind of Facebook drama but thats outrageous.

Dear twat, if you want anyone else to donate to you charity then maybe try not to be so ungrateful to the people that already have, not a good look, please dont ever ask me again in the future as I will not be even so much as acknowledging your request.
