Lol its funny. People are so dumb

[billy123]

Before you all get your knickers in a twist he is giving it all to charity and will provide a receipt of doing so.

[bbfan1991]

Nice one Sam, he's donated the money to CLIC.

[Ithinkiloveyoutoo]

he twitted the receipt apparently

" Card holder:
sam pepper

Card number:
xxxx xxxx xxxx Z8ZG

Exp: 12/99"


wtf expiry date 12/99?

[Maia]

LOL Obviously a joke, this is the legendary Sam Pepper we're talking about, king of practical joking. Personally I would still give him money though

He's brilliant

He's not joking, theres actually a message on the website.. kind gesture from him and now BB11 has raised more awareness for it.

[Ithinkiloveyoutoo]

This needs to be investigated fully. How convenient the money goes to a charity with Josies (his soon to be roomate) face on it.

So are you suggesting that Josie's charity CLIC is in fact a scam and she and Sam are part of that scam? Why don't you get your facts straight, the charity itself has thanked Sam and Josie for their donations, and CLIC can be checked out at the Charity Commission since the registration number is quite clearly given on the website.

that's not the point! Giving money to charity is amazing, but the way he did it is not. It was a scam. if you want people to give money to a charity clearly state so, but don't scam them out of money then expect to redeem yourself because you "offer" to then give it to charity.

Oh right, sorry I had missed some of what happened beforehand as I was distracted. What a cheek by him but at least he has now redeemed himself..

[Jase.]

LOL. He was VERY OBVIOUSLY going to keep the money, until the backlash started...then he gave it to charity to cover his tracks.

Lame.

Some people GET Sam, some people don't. Get a grip. What backlash, lol! If people want to send him money for whatever reason what's it to you???

[Jack_]

If it wasn't a joke then yeah, fair enough, it's quite out of order really.

You can picture him saying to his mates 'watch this...I can get these idiots to give me money', but somehow I can't see him saying that.

But as much as it is unfair on all his fans...at the end of the day, it's an easy way of making money, and money is money...

[Jack_]

Oh, and another thing...what if his management put him up to it? They must have a lot of control over what he's Tweeting [all the ringtone stuff etc].

[King Gizzard]

Well he always was a twat, great housemate yeah, but a twat.

[Jords]

If people are daft enough to donate fair play.

[lily.]

I don't get why so many people are annoyed by this.

If someone is stupid enough to waste their money by giving it to a random stranger from a reality show, then so be it. Whether he intended to keep the money or not is irrelevant. It has now gone to CLIC, which is a result in my opinion.

'CLIC' win.

'Idiots who paid him' lose.

People need to chill! He donated the money to the charity! And thanks to him, people are aware of the charity and are donating money to reach the Ł3000 target!

Why are people getting angry on donating money to the charity! People on this forum and digital spy need to chill out and go onto twitter before people jump into conclusion.

Clic Sargent is a well established childrens cancer charity,lots of famous people are involved with it,so it's NOT thanks to him people are aware of it,the charity was well known of way before Sam pepper.and why didn't he just give the link to Clic Sargent instead of people donating to HIM,sounds a bit suss to me.

It all stems from a joke tweet Sam did in response to fans tweeting him about what address to write to him, but unfortunately the power of twitter is often underestimated and loads of people took him seriously and sent him money which he immediately donated to Clic (because of Josie I guess). He has tweeted the link to the charity to prevent anyone else sending money directly to him, and to be fair he has never claimed any credit for bringing Clic to anyone's attention.

[flamingGalah!]

I think the point here is that he initially did it as a joke to see if people would actually donate him money... he was pi**ing himself that people were so stupid enough to do it, yet kept on asking for more... It was only after many people tweeted him back saying what he was doing wasn't right that he said he was going to donate it to charity...

So it wasn't like he did it to begin with to make money for charity...

Are there really people out there who cannot see that he was always joking? - FFS that's what he's best KNOWN for. All this sanctimonious righteous indignation is bloody laughable. Now if Sam had asked for donations to a charity and THEN pocketed the money for himself, that would be wrong - BUT he didn't, so get a grip.

Try reading 50cent's twitter, he's got over 3 million followers and he tweeted them all asking them each to send him $1. No doubt he was joking, but even if he wasn't, so what's it anyone's business if people want to send him money?

I can't believe people donate so freely without checking,I thought we were in a recession,seems people have money to throw away,lol,glad that Sam is not receiving money by deception,as that is what some posts make it sound like,twitter and sites like it have a lot to answer for.Clic sargent is a worthwhile charity,I am a big fan of actor Gerard Butler and i know he is one of the patrons for Clic,that is how I found out about it,but if people do have any spare pennies,I have a link to a very worthwhile charity for James Bulger House,a house for bullied children.Anyway Angus ,did you listen to Ben last night?

I would be the first one to condemn Sam if I thought he was deliberately scamming people, but I guess because I'm on twitter I've read all his tweets and it was very obvious it was a joke, which seems to have got blown out of all proportion.

No, I missed Ben's radio chat last night - had to do emergency babysitting! Was he good?
