There is this guy I have not seen in twenty years nor his sister. That time when I saw them was at a funeral for a mutual friend. To make a long story short, this past year my niece passed away and four months later her father, my brother, passed away also. This guy who is one of my Facebook friends is aware of this because I posted it on Facebook. This guy private messaged me to call his sister because she has health issues. I have not seen or talk to his sister in over twenty years. What would you do? I find it strange and inconsiderate for him to do this as he is aware of my loss.
Facebook? Oh, my.
PM him back and say, " Still feeling my loss. Too soon for me to get involved in others problems. Sorry." , then block him from your account.
This sounds to me like maybe he sees you as a sensitive soft touch for money. If you haven't seen either for 20 years, then you are not that close. No call here.
