Surely people are able to draw a line between what's okay and what's ridiculous? I can't believe the amount of people who have donated, there must be something seriously wrong with them.
Oh cmon, he is a young lad who is in a state of shock at his popularity, and was having a laugh, i dont doubt him for 1 minute when he said he thought people would take it as he meant it... A JOKE.....
There are a lot of naive, impressionable young folk out there. Not everyone is as sensible as you and I. He doesn't have the right to exploit that - even if it is going to charity in the end.
If it was intended as a joke he should never have set up a legitimate Paypal account in the first place. And he shouldn't have let it run for as long as he did.

I have a huge problem with him doing this. He can always say it was a joke, but you do not take money from fans and even accept a fiver from one of them, joke or not. Even if he said it was for charity, I would not believe him, due to him constantly asking fans to book him fo PA etc.
This is not a joke, it is taking the p**s out of all the people who have supported him.
He even tweeted before that he was going to sell the moustache he wore, at the eviction, he asked his "fans" how much they would give him for it.
This is the real Sam, like it or not. Disgraceful. BB take note.
i never expected anyone to actually give me money! but all the money i get i will give to a charity(tweet later), thanks so much everyone!

he said his giving it to charity and will prove it
It doesn't matter if he said after the event he will give the money to charity he exploited gullible fans and I hope he gets banned from twitter so he can't promote himself anymore.
He should have stopped it and posted about giving to charity after the first donations, not then gone on and told people he would tweet their names thus encouraging more. Methinks someone has had a word and told him how bad it looks.

Total BS, no way will he do that. Why do what he has just done. Why not say in the first place it was for charity. Rubbish, it is only cos some people are complaining.

Well those people are idiots not his fault! I donated a penny o.o

Grace Dent and Emma had a go at him, he told them they were humourless or wtte.
I'm actually quite upset by this.
Everyone who has seen me post on here knows sam is my favourite housemate of all time. and i will defend him all the time.
But i can't defend him over this. He's made it a TINY bit better by giving the money to charity.
but i think that wasn't his intention to begin with.
he probably had negative feedback and decided he'd have to give it away.
I think he probably didn't think he would get any donations. but why make it in the first place?
Yeah, he set up a website and his real Paypal account and didn't expect people to send him money, right. Next he will be saying when he posts his contact address and says "send things" he isn't expecting anyone will send him things.

nrooto, you and I have locked horns with my dislike for Sam previously, havn't we. It still gives me no satisfaction though, that he thinks he can treat his fans this way, none at all.

There you go - it was a joke - he didn't think anyone would respond and the money is going to charity

Not everyone.
I have a working Paypal, I paid for an item I won on ebay just before coming on here but it still is a fatal failure!
I would like to say Sam is drunk and put up something dumb on his Twitter page but as we know he doesn't drink!
Sammy I could throttle you! :mad: What a way to shoot yourself in the foot!

Good for them. Glad someone had a word. He has done himself no favours
He is an absolute ar****le to do that to people who have voted for him in BB.
Grace Dent has just grassed him up to Daniel Nettleton now. His new Daddy won't be pleased

You have to have access to an account to give it is not like stealing candy from babies.
Now he is giving it to charity so what is the big deal?
.should i donate my money to https://www.justgiving.com/donation/sponsor/page/2752553/ because then you can all see i donated it!
