A social media influencer shared a video of herself distraught and crying as she claimed she had accidentally bought a couch and needed money.
Buying an extra item by mistake can be unfortunate, annoying even, but more often than not it doesn’t set you back $100,000.
TikTok influencer Quenlin Blackwell posted a video of herself crying and seemingly inconsolable as she explained the situation to her followings.

In a video shared on her page October 2022, she told her followers she had put in her card details into an online bid for a couch.
She went on to say that she wasn’t serious when she did it and it was joke. Not sure banks tend to have the greatest sense of humor when it comes to money but there we are.
Well, in a turn of instant karma, she was charged for the ridiculously expensive sofa, which apparently sent her into a bit of a panic.
"I have to pull over right now because I’m about to f**king throw up," she said in the now-viral clip.
"I just put an offer on a couch, and I was joking. I was joking, but I put in my card information, and it just charged my f**king account. I almost crashed my car when I saw it."
She then called on her fans to donate money to her so that she could afford the expensive piece of furniture.
She sobbed: "If you have a million dollars, can you please donate? Can you please donate, please? If you have a million dollars, can you let me borrow some, please?”
The video has now been viewed 6.5 million times and was captioned: "I can't inhale."
Commenters under Blackwell's video said they did not understand why she would enter her card details if she had no intention of actually purchasing the expensive furniture piece.
One top comment said: "Girl, who puts in card info as a JOKE."
A second added: "ILY BUT WHY PUT YOUR INFO IN."
A third quipped: "How do you accidentally put all of your card info in and press purchase?"
Others asked to see the obscenely expensive couch but she is yet to give up the goods on that.
In a follow up video, she continued her sobbing plea to her followers revealing she was joining OnlyFans in an attempt to make up some of the money.
"I don't want to, but I'm going to have to," adding that she also needed money for dental work and to replace a side mirror on her car.
"I don't want to do a job. I'm about to throw up because I know they didn't refund me."
