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.

@Snazzysausage

I would send this message Dear charity bully I am sorry my £10 donation to your chosen charity didn't meet your expectations. Please return the donation to me and I will forward it to the charity directly. Once my donation has been returned to me,do not contact me again. Freetigerking Absolutely disgusting behaviour.
@Snazzysausage’s text is spot on, @Noidea2114 - I would send it.

OP can you cancel the money with your bank?

What an awful thing of her to do I would report it to Facebook.

Yanbu it was nice to donate at all its incredibly rude for her to be funny about the amount. A lot of people don't have much going spare at the moment and even if you did you aren't obligated to support this charity. I'd be tempted tempted tell someone higher up at the charity as it will put people off, if I'd been considering donating (for me it would also be £10 max) i definitely wouldn't after that behaviour so charity will pose out

She needs unfriending, sounds horrid

Send her your bank details for her to send your donation back, how bloody rude she is, I’d also comment on the post telling her so!

Krampusnolongerbabysits · 13/02/2021 17:04

If it was via PayPal, I'd claw the money back. Glad the FB post was taken down and that you blocked her. No good deed goes unpunished...
