When I was newly engaged, my bride to be and I were in a car with her sisters heading to the mall. On the off ramp was a beggar with a sign that said he was hungry. The girls all wanted to stop & give him money. I drove by & they were mad, but I stopped at a burger king, got the biggest meal they had, and got back on the free way, up to an exit and turned around to go by him again.

The girls were all happy to pull over and give him food. I wasn't done; I pulled off of the cross road into a parking lot where we could see him but were hard to see. He took a drink, and ate a few fries while looking around, then walked to a dumpster an threw the whole thing away.

The girls were really mad! They wanted to go tell him off. My point? If he was really hungry, he wouldn't be bu the freeway. This is his job. He sells felling good about yourself. He, and all like him are frauds. Find a good charity, Churches are usually good choices, donate there, it's where people in real need go.

YMMV

A couple of years ago I got scammed out of $20 by an old woman claiming she was from out of town, he car had burned up and she needed bus money to go to another city where she lived.

We gave her a ride to the bus station which was closed so she asked us to drop her off at a doughnut place where she’d wait until it opened.

Thought twice about it after dropping her off and doubled back. Not 2 min. after being dropped off she heads down the street to a convenience store. There’s a cop parked in the lot.

We told him what happened, he recognized her as a regular on the street and told her if she didn’t give the money back she was headed to jail. She ponied it up real quick.
