They were NOT begging for help. I took stuff cuz it was cold, for South Florida. They were very thankful. And as I said, they were not begging or bothering anyone. I'm already getting ready to bring blankets and stuff in case we get a cold snap again. I'm not rich but I can afford to help on occasion. I was checking out at the grocery store and a woman had forgotten her flowers. The line was long. I paid for her flowers and got a hug and blessings from her. I'll do it whenever I can. Try it a few times, it will fill your heart with the reaction you get. ❤️🙏
There is absolutely no reason for anyone in America to be on the street! There are places in every city that are equipped to help the homeless. If they are on the street, they are there because they chose to be, or because they are scamming people. Your money would go a lot farther giving to the shelters or other organizations that help people who want help. If people quit giving to these scammers and to those who choose to be on the street, there wouldn't be any homeless people on the street. Giving money to people on the street keeps them ON THE STREET. Give to the organizations instead!
THAT HAS HAPPEND TO ME.ONE OF THESE GUYS I HELPED, WHILE IN A GAS STATION, THERE WERE PEOPLE WAITING FOR HER IN A MERCEDEZ BENZ SHE SAT IN IT ANDLEFT.WHILE I WAS PUMPING GAS/
Not just here in America but same scams going on in the UK. When I went to England last year for holidays my friend who is American but has been living in the UK for a long time now showed me local gypsies who pretend to be homeless but they have got new iPhones, golden watches, they beg all day and then someone in Range Rover comes picks them up around the corner. There was this young gipsy girl I wanted to give little bit of cash but after talking to her for 3 minutes she contradicted herself and was lying so we just walked off. I didn’t know about these scams before my friend told me about it but now I see them here in America too. But if you talk to them for a bit you can tell who’s really a homeless and who’s just pretending to make money
I’ve seen this happen a few times myself. A big pickup truck stopped at Quiktrip and unloaded several people with walkers, wheelchairs and they spread out at the 4 way intersection and panhandled for cash. Nearly everyday I see the same setup on my way to work. If you feel the need to help the homeless please give directly to your local shelters.
I agree. Or only help those you know. Been homeless for a bit but am still employed. Never ask for anything from strangers and only take an offer if I truly need it. These guys, homeless or not are a bunch of buggers
We used to have a Romanian woman begging near my shop. She was pregnant I bought her a sandwich once and a young, savvy colleague told me she thought the pregnancy was fake. I was aghast but it was true. She now begs near a supermarket and has been pregnant for about 13 years.
Most are physically capable of work but they are still looking for that “free money “ like the government gave. I’ve seen a one legged immigrant guy selling m&ms candy. He’s a regular. I’ve given to him and refused the candy. Some will at least sell cold drinks from a cooler.
There’s a lot of rroma/gypsy Romanians doing this all over Europe. Makes me think the woman in this video is most like one, probably moved on from doing this in Italy. (I can tell because they look Indian/Pakistani, since that’s were they originally come from)
What gave her away was that she claimed to speak no English yet her entire sign is written in English. I've been homeless, and I used to wonder where do they get the marker, the nice cardboard box, i didn't have any of that stuff. I didn't beg for anything, for the most part I kept to myself behind a abandoned building. If you want to know who is genuinely without, offer them food instead of money. Look at their body language closely. They will tell you whether their genuine or not. I remember people eventually coming up to me to offer me food and that was like being offered a thousand dollars to me. So sad and cold, the world we live in is very ugly and evil. Lord help us endure until You return.
I always offer food and take an order if the person accepts. I'll buy any food they want because you're right, someone who is hungry will accept the food.
I always offer food, never money. I will even offer food to obvious drug addicts, because I know they will starve themselves to buy drugs. If their clothing isn’t weather appropriate, I will offer a coats, sweats, even a sleeping bag. When someone says no to this stuff, it’s obvious they are either faking or so addicted they ONLY care about drugs. You can usually tell which is which by the state of them.
She didn’t know English but knew how to write in perfect English. Yeah, okay! In my opinion, if you come over as an illegal, you need to learn English, but Brandon, let's let illegal aliens come in and flood our country. Let’s go, Brandon, and give them free health care and college, while a US citizen should get it.
PRAISE the LORD for BLESSING you and protecting you so sorry you went through that just know we all go through some type of hardship but also know the LORD is good he protected you and BLESSED You 🙏🏾
I never help these people anymore. I no longer give these people the benefit of the doubt. I went out of my way to buy $100.00 worth of groceries and was told by one that they need money instead of food. That was the end of it. I no longer give to the food bank either as the volunteers are taking the good stuff while pretending to stock shelves, people in BMWs pulling up for the food bank as well. You want to help, give your hard earned money to your elderly parents on pensioned income, give it to your own children/grand children in the form of an education fund or house fund. NEVER give to strangers, give to your own family.
I volunteered at my local food bank. I saw people with nicer and newer cel phones than mine. If you want to help, help through your church. If you want this scam to end, stop voting Democrats.
Had a man in a nice, red Corvette pull up to me and my baby in a Walmart parking lot asking for gas money. I'm thinking to myself, "This guy is in a nicer car than me." I told him "No". Wouldn't you know it, the same man in the same Corvette pulled up to me at that same Walmart again a few days later asking for money. I said "Sir you already asked me for money out here a few days ago." He mumbled something and pulled away. These people are are despicable.
If they have to literally beg for money organized or unorganized, it means they are desperate and in need. That lady is not rich by any means da fuck lol
We DO have laws against panhandling but people still give them money so they will take the ride to jail as part of doing business. Trust me they are making more than those who donate to them. Making thousands a day!
I had a guy ask me for $ at a gas station saying he needed milk for his kids. I said no beer only milk? He promised yes. Something deep down said he was on the level. I gave him $8 the cash I had. I started pumping my gas he walked out a few mins later with a gal of milk and a loaf of bread. He waved and said thank you so much. I usually don't give money to people begging because of people like in the video. Something felt different with this guy and I'm so glad I could help him.
I went to Burger King for lunch one day and this guy was counting out change and I mean nickels and dimes to get a small burger. I asked him if he needed a couple dollars and he declined. I just told the cashier I would pay for it. He ordered a jr hamburger. I said that's not enough so I said give him a Whopper. He even declined adding fries and drink. I had to tell him 3 times order a full meal I got you. I had never seen someone look so embarrassed to accept something. I even gave him $10 and said use it for next meal. There are some people who really do need help and scammers like in the video ruin it for those who really need it and do appreciate it.
I help when I see them and feel a pull to help. I went to get my family some food at Zaxbys one night and noticed a man holding a sign asking for help feeding his wife and children. You could tell by looking at him that he was embarrassed and at the bottom. Without asking anything, My son and I went through the drive-thru and got 2 family meals. (Wanted to make sure they had enough for a day or two) Drove over by him and gave it to him. He was teary-eyed and so very thankful!! He folded his sign and left straight away, saying he wanted it to still be warm for his kids. When my husband and I were broke, down and out, we RARELY had anyone to help. So, I pay it forward as much and as often as I can. What they do with the money is on them, but at least I know *I'M* doing a good deed.
Do you know how much foodstamps and cash aid he is given for having kids? He can get more from welfare than handouts. If he forgot where the welfare office is then he is a scammer.
I saw a local homeless person in my community counting pennies to get bread and peanut butter. I asked if there was anything else she wanted. She said no this is what I need. Her humble comment got her a lot more than what she asked for. Now she lives a good life due to our church getting her the help she needed. You can read the people who need help.
your vanity in Christ is disgusting to me. My estimation is that you only "help" those who will propoxate your twisted false image of the Christ. Your words make me wish I was nailed up right next to him. Anything to get away from you who put him there and still revel in the glory of your acts. It is revolting.
Aahhh, my heart!! This is the only comment I’m going to read on this video, because I know if I keep going, the kindness will quickly dissipate and instead be hateful. Thank you for sharing her story with us, it’s things like this that keeps hope alive in me for the human race! I hope she has the best life ever, as well as you and everyone else for caring to offer her help. You’re a good egg! 🫶🫶
I own a convenience store in Los Angeles. I see this scam on a daily basis. Sometimes they drive themselves in nice cars, sometimes they get dropped off. I try to warn customers. Some appreciate it, others don't care and give them money anyway. Please don't give them money. Many of them have assaulted my staff, even though they try to put on a weak and sad face, or even pretend to be handicap. I see them stand up from their wheelchair to stretch and walk around perfectly fine. I have lost good employees after they got assaulted and were too scared to come to work or press charges. Please do not support these people if you see them outside a business. They make the workplace a nightmare.
Hi friend. Not everyone in a wheelchair is completely paralyzed, or needs it for long periods of time. Some people are able to use their legs for short distances. Just a friendly note from someone who is a wheelchair user for longer distances. I hope that you have a good day, and that you take care of yourself, because you are worth it, and deserve it.
Good thing he figured out this was just an actress...I took several years of drama/theater class, I can spot one of these grifters easily, their actions ruin everything for those who are genuinely down on their luck.
DON'T GIVE ANYTHING TO ANYBODY ANYMORE! SEND THEM TO AGENCIES WHERE THEY HELP THE HOMELESS. BUT YOU DON'T GIVE THEM MONEY OR ANYTHING ELSE. THE MORE PEOPLE GIVE THEM, THE MORE THEY CHEAT GOOD HEARTED PEOPLE.
I was getting some groceries and when I came out my husband pointed to a man and his dog outside the store. You could tell they were homeless but they weren't begging for anything. I went back inside and got the man and his dog something. The man's face brightened up and the dog was happy. That's all that mattered.
@@austntexanI understand that completely, but one thing I will say is that sometimes homeless are trying to raise enough money for a night in a cheap motel...a bed and a shower become utopia when you been on a cardboard mattress for a month...so it's not always drugs and alcohol that got 'em here....
I lived in New York for 23 years and offered people who were begging food. In 23 years only one person said yes. I bought her groceries and she was very grateful
In my town I offer food. It is accepted every time usually with “thank you God bless you” or something like that. Once I had a woman tell me sincerely, “Thank you…You always offer us food…”. My heart was so warmed by her words.
If you died TODAY, where would you be spending eternity? Have all your sins been forgiven or are you still hoping that you're a good enough person to earn a spot in heaven. The reality is that no one can earn a spot, our sin disqualifies us. But the God news is that Jesus paid for our qualification by dying on our behalf taking the punishment that we deserved. JESUS said, "For God so loved the world, that He gave His one and only Son; that WHOEVER believes in Him should not perish, but have everlasting life." - John 3:16 Nothing is more important than your eternal destination. Please, don't say, "When I get older I'll get right with God' or 'I'll get serious with Jesus one day when I'm ready.' Don't wait any longer, today is the day of salvation. Get right with God today, for tomorrow very well might be too late. We invite you to REPENT and accept that Jesus Christ is Lord of your life by praying this simple prayer out loud right now... 'Heavenly Father, I turn away from my old life and repent for my sins. I believe that Jesus came for me, that Jesus died for me and that Jesus rose again for me so that I can be forgiven and receive eternal life. I believe in my heart and confess with my mouth that Jesus Christ is the Lord of my life from this day. Through Him and in His Name, receive the gift of eternal life. I ask you to fill me with the Holy Spirit and lead me for the rest of my life. In Jesus name - Amen. 🎉
Exactly. There was a story in our local paper about this. A reporter talked with a young man begging at a freeway off ramp. He took the man to get food, then to local shelter. He insisted he wanted the help & get off the street. Resources were given to him. He was off street a few days, then right back at that off ramp. So I don't give any food or $$ to those. Cannot help people that do not want to help themselves
NEVER GIVE MONEY TO HOMELESS PEOPLE! I'm a social worker, I work with adults, and the worst thing you can do is give money. Bc most of the time, there's resources available, but they require you to be clean and sober, giving money does not help that
I once gave a gypsy in Montana some “gas money". Then out came the lead gold ring. I handed the junk to the kid they had as a prop and said, “This is valuable. Your problems are over.” Then I gave the perp a deep scowl. We have a local guy here who has used the same story over 30 years. Last time I told him, “get those kids to a doctor. They should be about forty by now."😂😂😂
Go home I'm sick and tired of this BS we're not the babysitters of the world go to their country they'll take all their freaking clothes from you and then they'll tell you the government will you should have known better before you came here how's that for a thanks
I've always helped when able to and usually whenever asked for something it's only been for maybe two and three dollars or food, when coming out of the grocery store. It's just never even occured to me that these FN mother fer's were doing this.
Begging on the side of any roadway should be illegal and strictly enforced. It's truly a safety issue. We had an incident outside a shopping center recently. A woman was begging at an intersection with two small children. One of the kids wandered into the road causing a minor accident when a driver slammed on their brakes and was rear ended. The woman begging immediately got on her phone and within a few minutes a van pulled up and her and the kids were carted off. A motorist followed the van and took video of the van stopping at 2 additional intersections and picking up additional beggars. Police were able to track her down and the woman was charged with child endangerment. This was definitely a scam. Turns out the children weren't even hers. She was babysitting the two kids full time and would drag them out daily to help her beg.
@@victoriasegall3404 if there weren’t people willing to give, beggars wouldn’t profit. It takes two to tango. It’s not their fault you gave them your money without deserving it.
The pastor of our church once told me a story about how people claiming to be homeless and wanted money for food. They never gave money, but told them to go to a local diner and tell them the name of the church and they would get a free meal. They had it set up with the diner that the church would pay for the meal. Not one of these people ever went to the diner.
@cathhl2440 I like that. It's like recovering alcoholics. Someone said if you're a horse thief and you stop drinking, then you're a sober horse thief.
I once saw a young man, early 20s or so, standing by where we just came off a highway with a sign that said he couldn’t get a job, needed food, please help, blah blah… And people were giving him money! 🤦🏻♀️ I guess they didn’t notice the brand new sneakers that cost well over $100 or the Oakley sunglasses (also over $100), the new brand name athletic clothing or the fact that he looked really clean. He looked like a rich college kid and people still gave him money! I won’t even give it to the grungy looking ones! I just yell out the window when I see them in shopping centers, “There’s a Walmart right there, get a f**king job!” Unbelievable…
I had to beg once....some lady eventually offered me a job....I jumped on that opportunity and now I'm working full time and have my own apartment...almost have enough to put a down payment on a new car and ...I'm engaged UPDATE: I GOT THE CAR!!! lol and I got a promotion. 2024 is going to be my year I'm sure of it. Thanks for all the love and I hope 2024 is kind to you all too 2024 update: I am so happy to read every single comment on here. Honestly you all have no idea how much I feel the love. 2024 has been great so far and I'm loving the new position at work.

May nothing but positive vibes and blessings come across you on your own journeys. Stay safe and stay blessed all of you 🫶🫶🫶🫶🫶🫶🫶
A good idea would be to tell her "let me help you, I'll write something on your sign that will catch people's attention." And then go on to write in big lettering across the entire message "I'M A CRIMINAL". And then just stand by and watch.
The nice shoes and clothes. If people really want help the should start in the school systems with children. The real people that need help are the ones that often go unnoticed or don’t ask for help because they think they don’t need it
Great observation. They all come from Mexico and cross the border illegally to steal from hard working citizens and of course Nuisance (aka Newsom) are willing to use tax payers money to fund these folks through free health insurance (while majority of the unemployed can’t even afford health insurance or Cobra coverage for themselves or family); housing and soon social security.
Stupid comment, of course the signs in English? If she was truly homeless and couldn’t speak English, why would she put the sign in a non native language that barely anyone would understand? Even if she was real… She’s a criminal, yes, but your comment is just nonsensical.
I live in a downtown area and see homeless every day. When one asks for help because they're hungry, I refer them to the rescue mission or St Vincent DePaul in the downtown area. They can readily get four meals a day. One time an individual responded, " they are closed today". Dude: "dude, I just left St Vinny s, where we made a couple hundred of sandwiches, and they are handing it out now".
Where I live, had this guy asking for money for food...I told him I'd buy him something to eat but he wanted money so I told him I didn't have cash, though I did...I asked him if it was for alcohol or drugs, he said no he don't do that... so I said I'm sorry... he walked around the corner to a parking lot... took off the beat up jacket and jumped in a Mercedes...I did give a guy a few dollars for a tall can once because he was honest about it... but if someone is asking for money for food I just buy them food... if they want it that bad they'll take the food
We had gone to our local outdoor flea market, and an older woman had a well written note card she was showing people. It read that she was homeless with several small children who were hungry. She claimed she didn't speak English. I asked her where the children were, and she replied, "No children," so we walked away. 2 weeks later, we saw her 20 miles in a different location with the same card. We called the cops. She hid as soon as she saw them pull up. Scamming folks is terrible.
When the police arrives, what can they charge her with? it breaks no law to panhandle, does it? the best the police would do is to give her a hard time for her to move to another location another day.
Not breaking any laws unless there are panhandling laws, like only allowed dawn to dusk, or prohibited at busy intersections. I’ve only seen it get worse over the years. The more people give, the more fakers see it as free tax free money.
Not necessarily.I used to be a manager for Walgreens and they really don’t let anyone loiter on their property. So I had to keep kicking out this one lady. I threatened her with police and she still would not leave and kept coming back every day. So one time, finally, I’ve had enough and I came out and had to talk to her and told her we would literally had put a trespassing order on her. She started crying and begging me not to call the cops because those people dropping her off have her daughter. She pointed without looking at a car across the street and it was parked really weirdly, facing my store. All windows tinted. I kept watching it for the whole day. The car stayed there watching this lady work. I offered her help and she said they would hurt her daughter if police showed up or she did anything of that sort. So you really never know what’s going on in everyone’s life. Because Human Trafficking is a real thing
Except she sold you a story. They tend to alternate working different intersections and that person in that tinted out car probably had a couple kids in there and they're taking a break they work in shifts.. someone who's being trafficked is not out panhandling on a corner. It's for the sex trade or unskilled labor.
then you should have called the police about the suspicious car and actually seen if there was anyone in the car with tinted windows , they are criminals , we have a large group who get dropped of in sheffield in uk
This happened once also when I was going to a grocery outlet and I seen a lady coming out of her Van. A nice Toyota Sianna with 2 kids. May be 4 and 7 and a two-year-old in a stroller. And I said, if you need money you can ask the government. She says I already get but that's not enough. I said then why do you continue having children? You should get your tubes tied or go to work. And you know what she did.She turned around and got in her Van.And left
I walked into an ethnic takeout the other day. An able-bodied young man with full make up, a red, sequin tank top, and red satin short shorts was sitting next to the door. As I walked in, he said, “I’ll take a large sprite if you’ll get me one.” No please, no would you mind, no thank you. Just demands from a young, healthy man clown. I made up my mind that day, no more handouts (which is a pretty sad thing to decide.). So now both the needy and the scammers will go without. Why? Because there’s a limit and I reached mine.
I live in Ireland in a small town. My daughter and I went to the next town about 35kms from our house. There was a woman sitting on the pavement she looked so down and poor. She said to me " could you buy a cooked chicken and some potatoes for my family. I'm homeless and I don't have any food"?. Aw. Then my daughter said " what the hell are you talking about? You live around the corner from me in a 4 bedroomed house. You drive a fancy car and your children all have electric scooters. The ( poor) homeless woman looked like she was going to vomit. My daughter didn't shout or scream at her. But she did say it loud enough for the woman behind us who was going to drop money in her cap. The cheek of them. Shame on them playing on the emotions of some unsuspecting person who can hardly afford to pay for their own lives, yet they are willing to give a helping hand to someone less fortunate.
The media here in America does the same thing. The weaponize our empathy. Movements like BLM and LBGQT are not what they claim to be. It is a divide and conquer scheme. Neo-Bolshevism.
@@lucyk.5163 I am so sorry that I confused you. She asked for food so she didn't need to spend her own money buying the food. Usually if someone buys food and hands it to her, she will then ask for a few euros to go with the food. She genuinely lived around the corner from my daughter. They were privately renting the house. But the council or housing authority gave them a brand new 4 bedroom house. So she now lives in a beautiful house that is really well insulated it has heat recovery heating system. It also has solar panels on the roof. I don't begrudge her getting her beautiful new house. But I was in the same town on Friday that was in my original story. You would never guess who was sitting on the street looking for someone to buy food for her children. Yep I bet you guessed who it was. 🤔
The tramps in ireland are the greatest! I asked one once if he had 3 wishes what would he ask for, thinking he might say food or something and i could get it for him. He said a neverending pint of guinness, so i said what about the other two wishes and he said 2 more never ending Guinnesses.
My mom wanted to give a woman $50 and thankfully I had been warned about that particular scammer. We watched her from the restaurant we had lunch at and saw as she got into her brand new BMW. A car worth many times more than what my mom owned. It makes me angry these scammers hurt the chances for those in need to get help.
Doesn’t mean she isn’t down on her luck and need money for bills. You can be a “future” homeless person if you don’t pay your bills. Maybe she lost her job a few weeks ago and can’t find work yet. I’m not saying that’s what happened but just because she has a nice car and is asking for money doesn’t mean she doesn’t need it.
Two things stopped me helping people like that. 1) I stopped to gas up my work truck and as I was coming out from paying for the gas with the company card, a man asked me for help. I didn't have any cash, so I gave him my sack lunch that my wife had packed for me. As I was pulling out of the 7-11 lot, I glanced in my mirror and saw him toss my lunch in the trash. 2) I saw an investigative report on a guy who always stood at a busy intersection that I passed through every day, and shooting from a block away, they filmed this guy take in over 300 bucks, assuming every bill handed him was a 1, and not counting change. Then they followed him as he limped 3 blocks up that main street then turned down a side street, where he lost his limp and walked to a new car, got in, and drove off. Sorry, people who really need help.
People like that deserve NOTHING! I give them nothing! I know a guy in Houston that made around 75,000$ a year begging during the busy times of the day. Morning rush hour, lunch and afternoon rush hour while living on the streets. These People don’t need anything from the common man. They eat at the soup kitchens and stay for free at the shelters. They are sone of the richest people in America
I can agree I actually have almost the exact same reasons myself. 1. Different investigative report, but a woman AND when confronted she still had no remorse and even tried to justify it as she got into her new car and drove away. 2. I told a woman asking for a beer once I didn't have any cash, just a card. The woman literally then demanded I "swipe that sh!t.."
I bust my ass to make my 208 dollars/day. I'm not rich and I don't give a damn about someone who's capable of working or learning yet still begging. Get a skill and go to work.
This happens a lot, and has happened for many years. My aunt used to live and work in London through the late 80's and early 90's. She would pass the same homeless woman every day and hand her some money. My aunt was running late one day and happened to be behind her as she was walking away from her usual spot. Their route was the same, so she was essentially following the woman, where she saw her go into a car park, throw her 'raggy' coat and hat into the back of a relatively new/expensive car, then drive away. My aunt used to give her £5, back then, every day - and she wasn't the only one.
@@professormoptop a real guy never begs .America had so many jobs if you really want to grow .For example if you work as a pizza store you will get paid 12 dollars if you work for 10 hours for 30 days for a year its more than enough ,There are many people who wants to genuinely help people but no beggers. I don't donate a single penny to a begger
How do you know they cant be sex trafficked they are forsed to do this why cause their immigrants. But yes their are ones who just do this and its sad it's taking from the ones who really need help wicked world with wicked people 😢
@@bonkers5016 the reason we are in bad times is because we've worshipped the billionaires. The government lied and told us that if the billionaires don't pay taxes.... That they would create jobs... Instead, they used the money to eliminate jobs and lower wages. They bought the politicians and get fines in the low billions for trillion dollar fraud. Churches pay zero taxes and own more land then anybody else. They should be taxed as well.
Saw a guy once begging in the street then a couple of hours later, saw him in the bathroom of the shopping center washing up and changing into regular clothes. He drove off in a nice car too. They're professionals.
When i moved to Chicago with my aunt for a year in high-school. I had never seen homeless people. I was very sheltered and naive. I started giving them money and buying them food. My aunt was a cop there. She told me to stop helping certain people. There was a few homeless people she would take me with to help even when she was off duty. They were always so nice. One day she pointed out a guy i had given money a few times. We sat in her car and watched him. After a bit he got up went and got in a nice car and someone else got out and went to his spot. She said some of these people arent homless...they do this to scam people and i see them do this everyday. I had never lived anywhere but in a small town of 6000 people. I learned alot from her. I was once waiting for her outside in the car and i never locked my car door and she always told me too. She came up from behind the car opened my door and drug me out. Then laughed and said thats how quick you can loose your life here if you dont lock your door. I never forgot to lock it again.
Yeah it's pretty sicking what this world has come to... liberals/Democrats have certainly had a hand in it! North Carolina is pretty bad with the homeless, drug addicts, methadone clinics, syringe exchange clinics, murders, and Over dose's, prostitution, and large slums! But the ones who live in Biltmore Forest (MANSION living community) act like there is absolutely nothing wrong! Being sheltered, or an introvert is never a healthy mind set when you want to get involved with the community, because you have absolutely 0% knowledge on what's going on around you! 💯‼️
Immigrant or not, if a man I don't know wants me to meet him at another time so he can "change my life", I wouldn't show up either. The begging on street corners needs to end.
I had the same experience. We offered a homeless young girl in NYC work at a great restaurant and a room to live in in a fine hotel. She declined. I left her my number, but she never called.
I stopped giving pan handlers money over 10yrs ago. I feel that if you can stand outside all day holding a sign begging they can go find a job that pays to do the same thing.
They need to look at their lives and go figure it could be them with my disabilities and other peoples . Some are just wasting their lives while I can barely climb a staircase 12 steps unaided (!)
@GodNotReal I know they make more than cell phone guy shit they probably make more than me, and that's why I won't give them sh*t whoever else wants to go right ahead.
Begging is a crime that's why they motion with there hands like them with a spoon scooping and putting it in the mouth to signify that they r hungry and putting their hands together like they r praying .I seen a family right next to a restaurant begging they had cleen clothes shoes but, what was so funny they were begging by a sighn that said help wanted yes the resterant they stood by wants help u think they applied there ? I sure don't think so they know the sports where there r several cars go by and camp there with there babies ,dogs or there old parents just so they can get more money out of them stop helping them
CJAY...thank you for blessing other, but also making us aware. I helped a lady in wheelchair, double amputee, begging outside a Walgreens. When Walgreens closed, I was driving by...the woman got up from her wheelchair, folded her wheelchair and walked to her very nice, newer car. It changed how I helped homeless. I will only give food & water.
I lived in a car for a bit in my youth. A roof over my head nonetheless. I do remember this lady my mom knew was asking my mom if me and my sister (we were about 6 & 7) if it was ok if she babysitted us. I thought we’d go to the movies out to the park, instead, she told us to try to cry and didn’t even feed us. She just held up a sign. At the time I couldn’t read good, but I’m starting to think she was using us to scam others. Thankfully my mom probably realized that, because I never saw her again.
The other night I went to pick up food from an Italian place I go to. Got there, and saw a guy 2 stores down from it. He had 3 small bags with everything he owned in them. It was 9pm and he looked pretty desperate. He asked a few people for something to eat and/or money. Everyone ignored this guy. I walked up to him and asked if he was hungry? He said, yes. I said for him to come inside with me and I would buy him whatever meal he wanted. He only asked for a couple slices of pizza and a drink. I had the place add that to my bill, then handed him $20 for later. Someone like that, I will gladly help. Because I can see they are for real. Someone on a street corner asking for money? No way.
I did the same thing. I saw a homeless man standing at the corner holding a sign, "Homeless, please help." I pull over and offer him a job, I pointed to the building where I work at, saying, "Look, I'm the manager of that company, if you can just walk down there right now, I'll offer you a job. I'll start you off with $18 an hour." 2 hours later, he didn't even bother to show up.
It sad cuz their taking from people that really need the help, and people like her make it hard for those that wanna help, know if the person actually needs help. Thankyou for exposing a fraud. God Bless those that are actually in need.
So true! I watched a pregnant woman with a child who was begging on a street corner go behind a business where she had parked her Mercedes. I watched her put her toddler in the car seat and remove her fake baby bump and drive away. It made me sick. I also had a man approach me in a grocery store parking lot and ask for money saying he was hungry. I told him I didn’t have cash on me but offered him some of my food and he walked away. If he was truly hungry would have taken the food I offered. If you want to help donate to a soup kitchen, food pantry, clothes closet or shelter. The people who truly need help will get what they need.
That’s unfortunately not true. There are sick people who think it is funny to put stuff in homeless people food. A lot of them do not trust food that is homemade or unopened. I saw a story about a guy who offered a homeless man a sandwich with glass shards in it and I’m sure it’s gotten worse than that.
I did experience those things and I was talking about donating money to shelters and food pantries not making homemade food or giving someone a sandwich. I offered the person begging money from me for the groceries in my cart that I had just bought. They were unopened and I was loading them in my car when he came up behind me which is also a dangerous thing for anyone to do in these times. If he was truly hungry he would have taken the newly purchased food I just paid for. I even had unopened water and drinks but he wasn’t interested in those either.
I have seen this too. We were with family at a weekend market in the park. A man there, in a wheelchair, was digging through the garbage looking for food. My young niece stopped and talked to him, a homeless vet. She ended up giving him all of the money she had. As we sat in the car discussing where we were going next, he walked out of the park talking and laughing with another man, full of life and energy, pushing his wheelchair. He walked to the back of his Lexus, popped the trunk and with little effort picked up the wheelchair and placed in the trunk. It was a miraculous recovery from the state he was in 20 minutes before. There are people who are truly in need. And I don’t mean to discredit them. But there needs to be an awareness of the scams that happen
@@JessDougie-ro2hlWell, after the shock had worn off her, it was probably too late for a recording. This has opened my eyes a little more now. I try to go by the leading of God to help the ones truly in need.😊
You can always tell those who are truly in need vs these scammers. Just look at their hands, look at their clothing, look at their hair its prettu obvious who is legit and who isnt
Unfortunately con artists like this is the reason I quit helping people….. bought someone a bus ticket once and told them to pick it up at the counter, I’d emailed them the info….. then they emailed me and said ticket was stolen and wanted me to send them cash ! Offered a man a job once when I ran a pizza store and he kept coming around for free food but would never work! I can’t count how many times someone has come up asking for cash because they were hungry and when I offered to buy them food and they said no! If people truly need help they need to go to the local shelters, food pantry, church, etc.
If a person drank soda or pop like an alcoholic in the 1980's they set themselves up to be diabetic symptoms including high blood pressure because of the building of fat within the liver which filters blood causes backup pressure thus high BP. No fruits only herbs for vitamin C. No more simple starches and no more sodas , only filtered water from water stores that add the minerals lost from the process of reverse osmosis. Use RO water to boil eggs.
reminds me of a man that was asking me for a ticket home, i told him to ask another man not a woman, he kept asking, other people and also asking for a grilled cheese. Someone got him the grilled cheese and a coffee and i saw him trying to sell those for money too. i think he wanted the ticket so he can sell it and get cash for drugs
But you gave them a chance. That was the right thing to do. I too had my car and dog stolen last week of July. My dog was dumped 50 miles away and my car was sold 60 miles away. I got off at a gas station. I went because this person begged me for a favor. While I was in the station, he took it all. I carry my cards in a cell phone holder. And he left a piece of paper, which led me back to his mother. He is a felon. I found out he's been to prison multiple times. He got 2 years probation for what he did. Im disabled. I want to help but I can't trust anyone anymore. But I don't want to punish all of our truly needed homeless. So I no longer give change, they can no longer get near me. I'll buy them a meal. That's it!
Yep, been saying it for years. When I lived on Hurontario, I always saw the same old man at the 403 exit. I would always chat with him, and he was a true homeless man, with a smile. He was such a nice man, I hope he's doing okay, I'd love to run I to him again and buy him a coffee. I remember on day, a lady in a car infront of me gave him a huge bag of home made cookies. He was so joyous, he was crying. I hope he's okay.
Quite honestly I don't mind helping the homeless , BUT only American homeless if I can tell. Foreigners can always go back to their home. Which makes them not homeless.
@@csrboltfan2643 ever hear of Wi-Fi? The library? Walmart? Dillons/grocery store? Dollar general? Am I not allowed to have friends or am I only allowed friends that are homeless? What am I missing?
I’ve actually seen a woman with 2 kids get dropped off from an Escalade at a target to beg for money. It’s so despicable what they’re doing. It’s so hard to help when you see dishonest people like this take it away from those who really need help. So now I no longer give anyone any money to help out because I just feel so taken advantaged of. This is criminal. They are earning money tax free while the rest of us pay taxes up the wazoo!!! Beware people don’t get scammed!
Your taxes are probably paying her and her family's benefit is food stamps and social security money or whatever it is u get in America, we have the same pr5here in the UK, there's loads of mostly Romanian women who do the exact same thing, while claiming every benefit money there is, and get there rent paid, and still they sit begging!! If they're foreign I can almost guarantee they ain't homeless!! Most genuine homeless ppl are from the UK🤬🤬
He’s right. I used to work in a bad part of town and it was company policy to ask beggars to leave. They’d get into cars I couldn’t afford. Be careful as to whom you choose to help.
I had a young woman using her baby to get "help". Her boyfriend sat in the warm car as her and the baby dealt with the cold to grab a few dollars. I told her I'd give her $500 if she left his ass today! Not even 3 days later she was back with him and her and that beautiful baby boy were out begging all while that loser was in the car warm and waiting. I can't help someone that refuses to help themselves. I would've taken that $500 and got a bus ticket to anywhere away from him.
@@lorireed8046 A couple of years ago... pre-pandemic... my husband and I saw 3 women sitting in the planting area of a store with kids. One of them was "nursing" an infant. All 3 were smiling and waving with their begging sign. Something didn't look right, so as we drove by, instead of averting my eyes from the "nursing" mom like I'm sure most men would do (I'm a woman & mom), I took a close look. It was a doll.
I've seen people using dogs to pull at people's heartstrings. I'm actually more concern about the dogs than their human companions because I know most times they are fakes .
You're absolutely right I think panhandling should be a crime if you're doing it illegally meaning you have means to support yourself and you're out there begging for money from others. I completely agree that should be illegal!!!!!!!
When my husband and I were first together, we lived in an apartment complex. Leaving one day we came across a man who was digging for bottle returns in the dumpster. We stopped and told him we had a big bag of returns we could give him, and if he waited, we'd go get it. We started talking to the guy and came to find out, he didn't need it. He collected bottle returns his entire life, and financed three homes, the guy owned 3 houses. WTF! He wasn't panhandling, he was actually working picking up bottles and bringing them to the depot to get money for them. He was an example of an entrepreneur if there ever was one. lol P.S. This took place in Canada.
Hmm, well, bottles don't give much money. You have to have 3 truck loads of bottles to receive maybe around $10.00. How would I know? My dad use to own a junk yard. Scrap yard.
@@darialinderssen8768 I've gotten more than that on one p/u truckload. $50 - $60.00 the last time we went to the Bottle Depot. Maybe things are different where you live. However, In Canada, we have a deposit system where you pay extra when you purchase, and then you are refunded when you return the container (glass, metal, plastic, tetrapac, etc.) to the Bottle Depot so it can be recycled.
Still, that's not much even if you have 3 loads of bottles in a pickup truck. It's ..glass.. Glass is not worth much, is all I'm saying. But is still acceptable to receive .. something. Unlike number 1 and 2 stainless steel. If you have a ton of these, you can make pretty good money. Where the person who owns a metal yard will have to have metal detectives to inspect it. I use to fill out the book and log it. It's required for this to be inspected.
@@darialinderssen8768 To a scrap yard glass is not worth much, I get that. But, to a bottle depot, it's worth enough to be in the recycling business. Schools have bottle drives and can raise thousands.
Of course! People handing out money without accountability leads to this. If you want to give out money, Always give to non profit organizations that have a structured way of getting people back on their feet.
It's so sad . Because it stops people from helping those in need because of those people. There are really people who need help. Bad things happen to good people. I know you help a lot of people. God bless you. Please don't stop.
I work around Saint Paul (MN) and always bought food for a homeless woman and her child sitting begging at an intersection. We talked more than once and she told me their names and how their husband left them. One time I was heading over there to give them each a sub and they started walking away. I didn't call out to them because I was walking faster and thought I would catch up. They went up to a BMW, opened it, got in, and drove away. I was left there holding two subs being completely stunned. I confronted her the next day and she threatened to call the cops on me. Since that day, I will not give any "homeless" person another look. Fool me once, shame on you. Fool me twice....
I've raised my 4 children as a single immigrant...and being an orphan by age 25...never in this America ever stood on the side of the road begging for money. Yes I've had food stamps before, if in between we were waiting for approval I would walk to a food bank, get bread and a few goods . But never begged for money...this is America
Understood. You've been through honest tough times. You StandTall and keep your chin up. Good things will happen. The current so-called Administration does NOT want that. They lie to the faces of all who reside in America. Including illegals/Invaders. They constantly, tell them one thing and do the opposite as well as take credit for something a previous President did to make America a Great Country. Current administration is a Marxist breed of hoodlums.THey are setting up Illegals for a life of "Slavery", they just don't and don't WANT to see that truth!@@achayootto4221
We have a guy who has stands on the corner by Walmart. At the stop lights. He's been there for 3 years... Then like clock work he goes to his HOME and counts his money.... Crazy
Maybe when people are more aware of this crap they’ll stop giving them money. Tell them to get a job like we’re expected to do. McDonald’s would hire them lol.
Not all are criminals or scammers. I use to work with a lot of homeless people. Some just lost a job and it was a slippery slope til they lost everything. Some mentally unwell. Some got kicked out. A lot of vets. They are had diff circumstances. Sure there were the ones on drugs and didn’t want to work, but the majority was vets and mentally unwell. Can’t judge. I’d rather waste a few bucks on someone who I didn’t need to than to pass up someone that does. Never know when you could be entertaining an angel of God. God Bless all
I’ve seen this happening also in Southern California. I saw the man dropped off in front of the biggest Walmart . Then I saw it again same spot . These people make a living and don’t pay taxes. I believe in helping but not these type of scams.
Just because these people did this doesn't mean all homeless people are scammers. I was homeless and I lived in a tent. The gifts people blessed me with while I was panhandling saved me life and got me off the streets. Because of kind strangers I have an apartment and an amazing job where I care for others. Don't give up on people
Only problem with this is, it’s who do you believe 🤷♂️ these scammers are making our minds up for us, therefore don’t give at all. I give to charity, that way I know the people that need help, get it. Giving to people sitting on the path, is not something I’d do.
Then you should be ticked about this scam most of all because this kind of thing kills charity. They are paid and shifted around and keep the handouts, so who is financing this and why?
Same here.. I was in Columbus Georgia living in a tent ⛺, disabled, during the whole time I fought to get SSI ... I walked for food everyday to the soup kitchens, churches,etc..for clothes,food,shower, doctor's appointment, and go back to camp so tired,and in pain, I'd cry myself to sleep.. it took 3 years of living on the streets but I finally got my SSI but it's still barely enough to live on..I only receive $914.. and once rent gets paid and utilities there's nothing left..so yeah ..some people are scammers,but not all.. my own humility would not allow me to panhandle.. but I did what it took to get by.
@@46Ashgrove "charity" is a multi billion dollar a year business... for the caller and NOT the charity. Those that call you make a percentage on your donation, all "admin cost" comes from your donation and the charity might actually get about 3 dollars on a 20 dollar donation. Supporting "charity" is a joke and a fools game. You can buy a Salvation Army or United Way campaign and make huge money doing it.
Once I saw an old guy dressed in military fatigues and he was begging for money. I stopped my wife from giving it to him. She asked why I did that and I explained that about 1 mile away is the Audie Murphy Memorial hospital. They have all kinds of services to help veterans and current military. He didn’t go there because he’s not a veteran nor a member of the military and he knows that they can and do check that. I rarely if ever give money to beggars. Stolen Valor is different. I’m from a military family. My dad, bro, all of my uncles and many family members served. One is listed on the Vietnam War Memorial. So stolen valor makes me really angry.
Excuse me but there are plenty of disabled veterans. Yes some are fake but not all are. Just because you know a place you can get help doesn't mean every homeless person has the resources that are in your city.
@@Immortalangel14 I live in Tampa FL and if you are not pregnant or have kids there is really no help. The only time they do help the homeless is when a bad hurricane is coming, or the few days out of the year when it gets really cold they will put them in a shelter for a few days. It depends on the area, not all cities have the resources and Tampa is a pretty big city.
@MsFlorida813 my dad is a veteran, VA will at the very least help you get food and help u in some way. They're not gonna turn you down and let you beg on the street 1 mile way from them, unless you're not who u say you are.
Veterans are not the only people who could need help so what are you saying?? If a person isn’t a veteran then they most definitely can’t get your help, but even if they are, it depends on if you believe them or not?? O-Kay. Also, plenty of people might wear fatigue pants, that doesn’t mean that they are trying to pretend that they are a veteran. Maybe ask some questions first before assuming.
I've witnessed this in Phoenix, AZ Witnessed a woman eating at the restaurant where I was. Later, I saw her heading to the restroom with a backpack. When she came out, she had changed in ragged clothes. Later, an older woman with a small child came and met with her. I was a bit confused as to what I was witnessing. Figured grandma and the womans child. As I had finished, I was getting ready to leave the parking lot when I saw the trio coming out. The woman I witnessed changing opened the trunk of a very nice car, put her pack in the trunk, and took out a ratty one AND a cardboard sign! She hugged the child and older woman, and then she headed on foot to the street. The older woman and child got into a completely different vehicle and left. Ever since that day, I've been hesitant to give money to anyone holding a sign asking for help. I give food but no longer give money.
@@GlenLaConey I'm an immigrant too. I know several people who don't want to work. In Massachusetts the government provides 100% free health insurance, pays the rent, and helps with food expenses.
Maybe we just shouldn't have anybody on the side of the street with a sign. Seems gross for you to be entertained by somebody that you can give a dollar to So you can feel good about yourself.
I once saw a panhandler on exit ramp from I-70 in Wheat Ridge,CO. He was in a wheelchair and had a sign that read "Disabled veteran, please anything helps. God bless". I turned into a Taco Bell next to the ramp to have lunch. As I sat, I saw a guy also having lunch wearing a tattered shirt. I watched as he got up, left the restaurant, walked out and over to the "veteran". The "veteran" got up, did a fist bump with the other guy, handed him a wad of cash, and walked away. The other guy then sat in the wheelchair and held the sign to replace his friend!
Im from Colorado that sickens me it’s wheat ridge pretty rich area to beg in perfect for them my whole family is military and ptsd is no joke that’s why some people can’t work in New York people we’re wearing nice clothes had a better iPhone than me they weren’t homeless just lazy didn’t want to work everywhere is hiring
I thank you for showing this.And it's a crying shame that people who actually do need to help who are United States citizens.Mind you won't get the help they need because of people like this.This really pisses me off
So, that begs the question: HOW are the ones who need help to receive said help if there are those such as yourself who absolutely will not contribute to housing and food money they seek? 🤔
The same thing happened to me. I saw a mother with two small children selling roses and asking her for money to feed her children. So I went to buy the children some water bottles, snacks , sandwiches and I also gave her $40.00 and she started crying. It made me feel so good to help someone out in need. So I went the next day to the same shopping center and she with another man with kids were getting outta a brand new Mercedes Benz. It’s so unfortunate that people have the hearts to do this to people who want to help. I leave it all in Gods hands. It ruined the trust for the who actually need help
The left want to play on our emotions. Although I do feel for the needy and I am an American who has tasted homelessness while waiting on Soc Sec. I see the bigger picture, and if we can't help the needy without hurting Americans and because the criminals are coming too, then they would be better off where they came from. Too many are dying and traumatized on the route to the USA. This isn't humanitarian help. It's a political ploy that is usury to all, the illegal and the citizen. We are being set up for destruction as well as being replaced.
I saw a video like this, a mexican woman, she had a little boy with her and of course, she was pregnant and got into a black Mercedes, the camera caught her after she had the baby and confronted her, (which I would not do) she said "sorry speaka no engla" I am sick of that excuse, if you have been here over 3 years, it is just lazy NOT to learn English, but she was lying.
@@4dyamondx745 Im American, my aunt (who I really see is Mexican lives in Tucson ) while visiting, within 3 days I began speaking Spanish, not great but I could understand a lot. ...SO, IF anyone has been in the USA 3 years, they know some English. I don't buy the excuse, they cant speak English + PLUS they teach English in Mx. .
NEVER.. EVER.. Give money to an 'Urban Outdoorsman'. There are plenty of places to go for help. Blocking and distracting drivers, from the middle of the road at a busy intersection is not one of them.
This is all over England now, it's an epidemic of begging. I saw one get out of a glossy white mercedes, that did it for me. Now I make up anonymous parcels and give them to the manageress to distribute to people who it will help. If I see a beggar I just say, sorry I give to people I know now. In the UK they can't get nasty that gives cause to call police. This is why they are always polite. I'm sorry for those in genuine need.
they fuckked/ pissed me off when ahh was in Europe.- they use their kids too target you with letters . even though ahh had rough garments and back- pack on they knew ahh was from new Zealand.
a) Clearly not Italian b) Gypsies used to take kids (not their own) and actually break an arm/leg so they give them a disability and teach them to beg. Other times, they give them hard alcohol at a very young age so they are quiet and sleep for hours on end while they beg. in the more 'mild' cases, they all arrive together at a location in a van full of medical supplies (gauze, crutches, etc), then come out and pretend to be suffering from various BS ailments, then make a miracle recovery in the late evening and go home.
How is she a “New Emigrant” when she wrote on the sign better than 99.9% of people I know that were born in America . LOOK AT THAT NEAT WRITING!!!! 👇🏼Thank you for the 👍🏼
All the Beggars on the corner carry around these little professional signs just the same way they do it protest they don't even write their own protest sign
I don’t give money to anyone begging on the side of the road. I used to offer to buy them food or other things they might need but after buying food and watching it get thrown away because they saw someone else who might give them cash I was done. We had a lady come to our church one night asking for money so she could go to the gas station across the street to get bologna and bread for sandwiches for her and her 5 year old granddaughter. She had a long story about how she had been fighting cancer and she just needed money for food because they were starving. I offered to drive her to the grocery store 5 minutes from the church and buy her anything she needed and drive her home so she wouldn’t have to walk and she could get good food. She said she was too tired and just needed cash to get food at the gas station. NOPE Another time a guy came in and asked for pizza money for him and his sister. I told him I would drive him to the pizza place and buy his pizza for him. He declined because he “wasn’t hungry right now”. AGAIN, NOPE. I will help anyone who needs help, but I won’t buy your drugs, alcohol, or cigarettes for you. Sorry.
My mother was actually a refugee AND sick AND impoverished AND had cancer!!!!!No one helped her!!! Shame on these people! She never took a dime from people. Shame on you!!!!
My grandfather came here in the 1940's from Syria he had to learn read and write and speak English he had to take a test on our government and constitution before he could become an American citizen. He worked at a shipyard all his life, was married and had 12 children bought a home and paid for it all on his own NEVER was on foodstamps or any assistance. This needs to be brought back for anyone who wants to come here and live. This just makes me sick these people lying to get our hard earned money that we WORK for.
Seriously. My grandparents immigrated from Hungary during WWII, and they didn't have a pot to piss in. My grandfather had to learn how to write, read, and speak English just to get a job. They bought their home with their hard earned money, no handouts! If people are willing to work and be productive they are welcome here
I am living here for over 35 years, worked very hard did not have my papers, worked any jobs, never depended on the government or anyone it was very hard. Took care of two children a d got my papers but am still working, as long as I can, hope I will get my SS soon.
They ruin the trust for the ones who actually need help.
They were NOT begging for help. I took stuff cuz it was cold, for South Florida. They were very thankful. And as I said, they were not begging or bothering anyone. I'm already getting ready to bring blankets and stuff in case we get a cold snap again. I'm not rich but I can afford to help on occasion. I was checking out at the grocery store and a woman had forgotten her flowers. The line was long. I paid for her flowers and got a hug and blessings from her. I'll do it whenever I can. Try it a few times, it will fill your heart with the reaction you get. ❤️🙏
True
Exactly
@@kathleenirish8516yes it's very true. Not everyone is pretending.
There is absolutely no reason for anyone in America to be on the street! There are places in every city that are equipped to help the homeless. If they are on the street, they are there because they chose to be, or because they are scamming people. Your money would go a lot farther giving to the shelters or other organizations that help people who want help. If people quit giving to these scammers and to those who choose to be on the street, there wouldn't be any homeless people on the street. Giving money to people on the street keeps them ON THE STREET. Give to the organizations instead!
Thank you for exposing these scammers!
Daigou Syndicates/professional beggars
Sound like gaza
Wow, some of these were organized scammer?! Thx for this info.
We have loads of these miscreants in England. Dropped off by the Albanian and Romania traffickers
THAT HAS HAPPEND TO ME.ONE OF THESE GUYS I HELPED, WHILE IN A GAS STATION, THERE WERE PEOPLE WAITING FOR HER IN A MERCEDEZ BENZ SHE SAT IN IT ANDLEFT.WHILE I WAS PUMPING GAS/
So sick of people like this taking advantage of people who work hard for their money!! So DISHONEST!!😡😡🤬
Also, keep in mind that the real homeless ( I have been there) don't have time for these schemes
Not just here in America but same scams going on in the UK. When I went to England last year for holidays my friend who is American but has been living in the UK for a long time now showed me local gypsies who pretend to be homeless but they have got new iPhones, golden watches, they beg all day and then someone in Range Rover comes picks them up around the corner. There was this young gipsy girl I wanted to give little bit of cash but after talking to her for 3 minutes she contradicted herself and was lying so we just walked off. I didn’t know about these scams before my friend told me about it but now I see them here in America too. But if you talk to them for a bit you can tell who’s really a homeless and who’s just pretending to make money
To utilize the hard situation to sell his video.
Blame Biden !!
I’m not going to lie sitting in the hot sun fully dressed seems like a damn job to me 😂😂😂
I’ve seen this happen a few times myself. A big pickup truck stopped at Quiktrip and unloaded several people with walkers, wheelchairs and they spread out at the 4 way intersection and panhandled for cash. Nearly everyday I see the same setup on my way to work. If you feel the need to help the homeless please give directly to your local shelters.
I agree. Or only help those you know. Been homeless for a bit but am still employed. Never ask for anything from strangers and only take an offer if I truly need it. These guys, homeless or not are a bunch of buggers
At least no cash. I carry fast food gift cards or just offer to buy them a meal. Most will refuse to leave their post.
Ask if they need food or groceries instead. Don’t ever give cash you never know how it’s used.
Oh my goodness!!
So begging is profitable!???
We used to have a Romanian woman begging near my shop. She was pregnant I bought her a sandwich once and a young, savvy colleague told me she thought the pregnancy was fake. I was aghast but it was true. She now begs near a supermarket and has been pregnant for about 13 years.
In Europe they'll use someone else's kid as a prop to beg. Unbelievable, get a job!
Most are physically capable of work but they are still looking for that “free money “ like the government gave. I’ve seen a one legged immigrant guy selling m&ms candy. He’s a regular. I’ve given to him and refused the candy. Some will at least sell cold drinks from a cooler.
Wondering why they don’t get arrested ??
Romanian Gipsy, not Romanian. 😢
There’s a lot of rroma/gypsy Romanians doing this all over Europe. Makes me think the woman in this video is most like one, probably moved on from doing this in Italy. (I can tell because they look Indian/Pakistani, since that’s were they originally come from)
What gave her away was that she claimed to speak no English yet her entire sign is written in English. I've been homeless, and I used to wonder where do they get the marker, the nice cardboard box, i didn't have any of that stuff. I didn't beg for anything, for the most part I kept to myself behind a abandoned building.
If you want to know who is genuinely without, offer them food instead of money. Look at their body language closely. They will tell you whether their genuine or not. I remember people eventually coming up to me to offer me food and that was like being offered a thousand dollars to me. So sad and cold, the world we live in is very ugly and evil.
Lord help us endure until You return.
I always offer food and take an order if the person accepts. I'll buy any food they want because you're right, someone who is hungry will accept the food.
🤣🤣🤣😁😁🤣🤣🤣😬😬🤦🏾🤦🏾🤦🏾🤦🏾🤦🏾
I always offer food, never money. I will even offer food to obvious drug addicts, because I know they will starve themselves to buy drugs. If their clothing isn’t weather appropriate, I will offer a coats, sweats, even a sleeping bag. When someone says no to this stuff, it’s obvious they are either faking or so addicted they ONLY care about drugs. You can usually tell which is which by the state of them.
She didn’t know English but knew how to write in perfect English. Yeah, okay! In my opinion, if you come over as an illegal, you need to learn English, but Brandon, let's let illegal aliens come in and flood our country. Let’s go, Brandon, and give them free health care and college, while a US citizen should get it.
PRAISE the LORD for BLESSING you and protecting you so sorry you went through that just know we all go through some type of hardship but also know the LORD is good he protected you and BLESSED You 🙏🏾
I never help these people anymore. I no longer give these people the benefit of the doubt. I went out of my way to buy $100.00 worth of groceries and was told by one that they need money instead of food. That was the end of it. I no longer give to the food bank either as the volunteers are taking the good stuff while pretending to stock shelves, people in BMWs pulling up for the food bank as well. You want to help, give your hard earned money to your elderly parents on pensioned income, give it to your own children/grand children in the form of an education fund or house fund. NEVER give to strangers, give to your own family.
Family are the worst!! At least in my case. Worse than any beggars and I saw Donate to the women’s shelters.
You are right.
If everyone had your mentality the world would be even worse then it is.

I volunteered at my local food bank. I saw people with nicer and newer cel phones than mine. If you want to help, help through your church. If you want this scam to end, stop voting Democrats.
Had a man in a nice, red Corvette pull up to me and my baby in a Walmart parking lot asking for gas money. I'm thinking to myself, "This guy is in a nicer car than me." I told him "No". Wouldn't you know it, the same man in the same Corvette pulled up to me at that same Walmart again a few days later asking for money. I said "Sir you already asked me for money out here a few days ago." He mumbled something and pulled away. These people are are despicable.
He is 100% correct. DO NOT give money to these organized beggars. Cities need to make pandering illegal.
It is they just don't enforce it because there are so many of them
If they have to literally beg for money organized or unorganized, it means they are desperate and in need. That lady is not rich by any means da fuck lol
Our city will arrest pan handlers 😅
We DO have laws against panhandling but people still give them money so they will take the ride to jail as part of doing business. Trust me they are making more than those who donate to them. Making thousands a day!
@@Lawyermom5 trust me, they are not making thousands a day I promise you panhandling is not that easy
I had a guy ask me for $ at a gas station saying he needed milk for his kids. I said no beer only milk? He promised yes. Something deep down said he was on the level. I gave him $8 the cash I had. I started pumping my gas he walked out a few mins later with a gal of milk and a loaf of bread. He waved and said thank you so much. I usually don't give money to people begging because of people like in the video. Something felt different with this guy and I'm so glad I could help him.
Now he can use his money for beer 👍 Good job Acr
A guy came up to me in the grocery store asking for money. I said I'd buy him food. He walked away so quickly.
Go with your instincts ❤
@@IWantToPetYourDog I've had that happen before too. I was just pointing out one of the times I feel I really did help someone who needed it.
I went to Burger King for lunch one day and this guy was counting out change and I mean nickels and dimes to get a small burger. I asked him if he needed a couple dollars and he declined. I just told the cashier I would pay for it. He ordered a jr hamburger. I said that's not enough so I said give him a Whopper. He even declined adding fries and drink. I had to tell him 3 times order a full meal I got you. I had never seen someone look so embarrassed to accept something. I even gave him $10 and said use it for next meal. There are some people who really do need help and scammers like in the video ruin it for those who really need it and do appreciate it.
I help when I see them and feel a pull to help. I went to get my family some food at Zaxbys one night and noticed a man holding a sign asking for help feeding his wife and children. You could tell by looking at him that he was embarrassed and at the bottom. Without asking anything, My son and I went through the drive-thru and got 2 family meals. (Wanted to make sure they had enough for a day or two) Drove over by him and gave it to him. He was teary-eyed and so very thankful!! He folded his sign and left straight away, saying he wanted it to still be warm for his kids. When my husband and I were broke, down and out, we RARELY had anyone to help. So, I pay it forward as much and as often as I can. What they do with the money is on them, but at least I know *I'M* doing a good deed.
Do you know how much foodstamps and cash aid he is given for having kids? He can get more from welfare than handouts. If he forgot where the welfare office is then he is a scammer.
Thank you for your kindness.
Happens in the UK too. I see the same lady in the same spot for 2 years. She earns more than I do.
She doesn't "earn" it.
I saw a local homeless person in my community counting pennies to get bread and peanut butter. I asked if there was anything else she wanted. She said no this is what I need. Her humble comment got her a lot more than what she asked for. Now she lives a good life due to our church getting her the help she needed. You can read the people who need help.
That's good 😊
That’s awesome, thank you for your kindness 🥰
your vanity in Christ is disgusting to me. My estimation is that you only "help" those who will propoxate your twisted false image of the Christ. Your words make me wish I was nailed up right next to him. Anything to get away from you who put him there and still revel in the glory of your acts. It is revolting.
This is amazing!
Aahhh, my heart!! This is the only comment I’m going to read on this video, because I know if I keep going, the kindness will quickly dissipate and instead be hateful. Thank you for sharing her story with us, it’s things like this that keeps hope alive in me for the human race! I hope she has the best life ever, as well as you and everyone else for caring to offer her help. You’re a good egg! 🫶🫶
I own a convenience store in Los Angeles. I see this scam on a daily basis. Sometimes they drive themselves in nice cars, sometimes they get dropped off. I try to warn customers. Some appreciate it, others don't care and give them money anyway. Please don't give them money. Many of them have assaulted my staff, even though they try to put on a weak and sad face, or even pretend to be handicap. I see them stand up from their wheelchair to stretch and walk around perfectly fine. I have lost good employees after they got assaulted and were too scared to come to work or press charges. Please do not support these people if you see them outside a business. They make the workplace a nightmare.
You have a very scary job. Be careful...
I'd notify the police. It's harassment at the very least
Hi friend. Not everyone in a wheelchair is completely paralyzed, or needs it for long periods of time. Some people are able to use their legs for short distances. Just a friendly note from someone who is a wheelchair user for longer distances. I hope that you have a good day, and that you take care of yourself, because you are worth it, and deserve it.

DON'T GIVE ANYTHING TO ANYBODY ANYMORE! SEND THEM TO AGENCIES WHERE THEY HELP THE HOMELESS. BUT YOU DON'T GIVE THEM MONEY OR ANYTHING ELSE. THE MORE PEOPLE GIVE THEM, THE MORE THEY CHEAT GOOD HEARTED PEOPLE.
I was getting some groceries and when I came out my husband pointed to a man and his dog outside the store. You could tell they were homeless but they weren't begging for anything. I went back inside and got the man and his dog something. The man's face brightened up and the dog was happy. That's all that mattered.
That's beautiful.
exactly ! listen to your gut when see homeless or fake homeless and use discernment, that's important !
I'll get them food, but never ever money. If I'm getting a quick bite or something, I'll get an extra meal for them. Never cash though.
@@austntexanI understand that completely, but one thing I will say is that sometimes homeless are trying to raise enough money for a night in a cheap motel...a bed and a shower become utopia when you been on a cardboard mattress for a month...so it's not always drugs and alcohol that got 'em here....
That was very kind of you. A homeless man with a dog is a very sad thing to see.
I lived in New York for 23 years and offered people who were begging food. In 23 years only one person said yes. I bought her groceries and she was very grateful
23 years! Glad ya made it out alive.
God bless you for that
In my town I offer food. It is accepted every time usually with “thank you God bless you” or something like that.
Once I had a woman tell me sincerely, “Thank you…You always offer us food…”. My heart was so warmed by her words.
If you died TODAY, where would you be spending eternity? Have all your sins been forgiven or are you still hoping that you're a good enough person to earn a spot in heaven.
The reality is that no one can earn a spot, our sin disqualifies us. But the God news is that Jesus paid for our qualification by dying on our behalf taking the punishment that we deserved.
JESUS said, "For God so loved the world, that He gave His one and only Son; that WHOEVER believes in Him should not perish, but have everlasting life." - John 3:16
Nothing is more important than your eternal destination. Please, don't say, "When I get older I'll get right with God' or 'I'll get serious with Jesus one day when I'm ready.'
Don't wait any longer, today is the day of salvation. Get right with God today, for tomorrow very well might be too late.
We invite you to REPENT and accept that Jesus Christ is Lord of your life by praying this simple prayer out loud right now...
'Heavenly Father, I turn away from my old life and repent for my sins. I believe that Jesus came for me, that Jesus died for me and that Jesus rose again for me so that I can be forgiven and receive eternal life. I believe in my heart and confess with my mouth that Jesus Christ is the Lord of my life from this day. Through Him and in His Name, receive the gift of eternal life. I ask you to fill me with the Holy Spirit and lead me for the rest of my life. In Jesus name - Amen.

@@karenlorentzen7509 I'm glad you had better experience than I did. Here in Savannah, where I live now, 2 people have accepted food.
It saddens me anytime I see someone at an intersection begging because more than likely they’re scamming so I don’t give any of them money. 😢
Exactly. There was a story in our local paper about this. A reporter talked with a young man begging at a freeway off ramp. He took the man to get food, then to local shelter. He insisted he wanted the help & get off the street. Resources were given to him. He was off street a few days, then right back at that off ramp. So I don't give any food or $$ to those. Cannot help people that do not want to help themselves
@@rhondayork-xl5gv He (beggar) was probably losing to much money when the reporter brought him to get food and then shelter. 👍🏼
NEVER GIVE MONEY TO HOMELESS PEOPLE! I'm a social worker, I work with adults, and the worst thing you can do is give money. Bc most of the time, there's resources available, but they require you to be clean and sober, giving money does not help that
People like you existing are actually one of the biggest fuckn problems with this country 💯
They should be jailed and deported immediately. That will put a stop to the nonsense
I once gave a gypsy in Montana some “gas money". Then out came the lead gold ring. I handed the junk to the kid they had as a prop and said, “This is valuable. Your problems are over.” Then I gave the perp a deep scowl. We have a local guy here who has used the same story over 30 years. Last time I told him, “get those kids to a doctor. They should be about forty by now."😂😂😂
Go home I'm sick and tired of this BS we're not the babysitters of the world go to their country they'll take all their freaking clothes from you and then they'll tell you the government will you should have known better before you came here how's that for a thanks
Sad thing is that most of these criminals are American or Canadian citizens. They just pretend they don’t speak English.
Roman womsn do this in my area
This is why I give to organizations that can truly help people who need it.
It hurts the ones that are homeless or need. This is disgusting and disturbing

That's what churches are for.
They all have shelters or food pantries or they can go to social services
Veterans
I've always helped when able to and usually whenever asked for something it's only been for maybe two and three dollars or food, when coming out of the grocery store. It's just never even occured to me that these FN mother fer's were doing this.
Nah just a loser she another loser
Keep exposing these criminals bro, you’re doing a great service to your country & all its good citizens.
Begging on the side of any roadway should be illegal and strictly enforced. It's truly a safety issue. We had an incident outside a shopping center recently. A woman was begging at an intersection with two small children. One of the kids wandered into the road causing a minor accident when a driver slammed on their brakes and was rear ended. The woman begging immediately got on her phone and within a few minutes a van pulled up and her and the kids were carted off. A motorist followed the van and took video of the van stopping at 2 additional intersections and picking up additional beggars. Police were able to track her down and the woman was charged with child endangerment. This was definitely a scam. Turns out the children weren't even hers. She was babysitting the two kids full time and would drag them out daily to help her beg.
All too common a scenario! And the presence of little kids to evoke more sympathy, is, as you said, an accident waiting to happen!
It is illegal in many states
They are thieves, They steal our compassion.
They’re not stealing it. Fools give it away.
They prey on our compassion. I think people like that have a special place in hell.

The pastor of our church once told me a story about how people claiming to be homeless and wanted money for food. They never gave money, but told them to go to a local diner and tell them the name of the church and they would get a free meal. They had it set up with the diner that the church would pay for the meal. Not one of these people ever went to the diner.
A gentleman who has been working with the poor told us… just because they are poor doesn’t mean they are good.
@cathhl2440 I like that. It's like recovering alcoholics. Someone said if you're a horse thief and you stop drinking, then you're a sober horse thief.
I once saw a young man, early 20s or so, standing by where we just came off a highway with a sign that said he couldn’t get a job, needed food, please help, blah blah… And people were giving him money! 🤦🏻♀️ I guess they didn’t notice the brand new sneakers that cost well over $100 or the Oakley sunglasses (also over $100), the new brand name athletic clothing or the fact that he looked really clean. He looked like a rich college kid and people still gave him money! I won’t even give it to the grungy looking ones! I just yell out the window when I see them in shopping centers, “There’s a Walmart right there, get a f**king job!” Unbelievable…
Thank you for exposing these liars and scammers.

SIGN WAS IN ENGLISH. BUT SHE COULDN'T SPEAK IT. CRIMINALS.
Come to Los Angeles Mexico and see firsthand. There are millions of them. All they do is take...
A good idea would be to tell her "let me help you, I'll write something on your sign that will catch people's attention." And then go on to write in big lettering across the entire message "I'M A CRIMINAL". And then just stand by and watch.
The nice shoes and clothes. If people really want help the should start in the school systems with children. The real people that need help are the ones that often go unnoticed or don’t ask for help because they think they don’t need it
Great observation. They all come from Mexico and cross the border illegally to steal from hard working citizens and of course Nuisance (aka Newsom) are willing to use tax payers money to fund these folks through free health insurance (while majority of the unemployed can’t even afford health insurance or Cobra coverage for themselves or family); housing and soon social security.
Stupid comment, of course the signs in English? If she was truly homeless and couldn’t speak English, why would she put the sign in a non native language that barely anyone would understand? Even if she was real… She’s a criminal, yes, but your comment is just nonsensical.
I live in a downtown area and see homeless every day. When one asks for help because they're hungry, I refer them to the rescue mission or St Vincent DePaul in the downtown area. They can readily get four meals a day.
One time an individual responded, " they are closed today".
Dude: "dude, I just left St Vinny s, where we made a couple hundred of sandwiches, and they are handing it out now".
Where I live, had this guy asking for money for food...I told him I'd buy him something to eat but he wanted money so I told him I didn't have cash, though I did...I asked him if it was for alcohol or drugs, he said no he don't do that... so I said I'm sorry... he walked around the corner to a parking lot... took off the beat up jacket and jumped in a Mercedes...I did give a guy a few dollars for a tall can once because he was honest about it... but if someone is asking for money for food I just buy them food... if they want it that bad they'll take the food
We had gone to our local outdoor flea market, and an older woman had a well written note card she was showing people. It read that she was homeless with several small children who were hungry. She claimed she didn't speak English. I asked her where the children were, and she replied, "No children," so we walked away. 2 weeks later, we saw her 20 miles in a different location with the same card. We called the cops. She hid as soon as she saw them pull up. Scamming folks is terrible.
Really, I would like to know who wrote her sign.
When the police arrives, what can they charge her with? it breaks no law to panhandle, does it? the best the police would do is to give her a hard time for her to move to another location another day.
what's her crime?
Not breaking any laws unless there are panhandling laws, like only allowed dawn to dusk, or prohibited at busy intersections. I’ve only seen it get worse over the years. The more people give, the more fakers see it as free tax free money.
@@Alexandra-je7toshe lied that was her crime lol
Not necessarily.I used to be a manager for Walgreens and they really don’t let anyone loiter on their property. So I had to keep kicking out this one lady. I threatened her with police and she still would not leave and kept coming back every day. So one time, finally, I’ve had enough and I came out and had to talk to her and told her we would literally had put a trespassing order on her. She started crying and begging me not to call the cops because those people dropping her off have her daughter. She pointed without looking at a car across the street and it was parked really weirdly, facing my store. All windows tinted. I kept watching it for the whole day. The car stayed there watching this lady work. I offered her help and she said they would hurt her daughter if police showed up or she did anything of that sort. So you really never know what’s going on in everyone’s life. Because Human Trafficking is a real thing
Except she sold you a story. They tend to alternate working different intersections and that person in that tinted out car probably had a couple kids in there and they're taking a break they work in shifts.. someone who's being trafficked is not out panhandling on a corner.
It's for the sex trade or unskilled labor.
8 million of them were let into the U.S. in the last 3 years.
then you should have called the police about the suspicious car and actually seen if there was anyone in the car with tinted windows , they are criminals , we have a large group who get dropped of in sheffield in uk
If you believe that ridiculous story someone should be helping you!! 😂😂
GULLIBLE
This happened once also when I was going to a grocery outlet and I seen a lady coming out of her Van. A nice Toyota Sianna with 2 kids. May be 4 and 7 and a two-year-old in a stroller. And I said, if you need money you can ask the government. She says I already get but that's not enough. I said then why do you continue having children? You should get your tubes tied or go to work. And you know what she did.She turned around and got in her Van.And left
you are an idiot
I walked into an ethnic takeout the other day. An able-bodied young man with full make up, a red, sequin tank top, and red satin short shorts was sitting next to the door. As I walked in, he said, “I’ll take a large sprite if you’ll get me one.” No please, no would you mind, no thank you. Just demands from a young, healthy man clown. I made up my mind that day, no more handouts (which is a pretty sad thing to decide.). So now both the needy and the scammers will go without. Why? Because there’s a limit and I reached mine.
I live in Ireland in a small town. My daughter and I went to the next town about 35kms from our house. There was a woman sitting on the pavement she looked so down and poor. She said to me " could you buy a cooked chicken and some potatoes for my family. I'm homeless and I don't have any food"?. Aw. Then my daughter said " what the hell are you talking about? You live around the corner from me in a 4 bedroomed house. You drive a fancy car and your children all have electric scooters.
The ( poor) homeless woman looked like she was going to vomit. My daughter didn't shout or scream at her. But she did say it loud enough for the woman behind us who was going to drop money in her cap. The cheek of them. Shame on them playing on the emotions of some unsuspecting person who can hardly afford to pay for their own lives, yet they are willing to give a helping hand to someone less fortunate.
The media here in America does the same thing. The weaponize our empathy. Movements like BLM and LBGQT are not what they claim to be. It is a divide and conquer scheme. Neo-Bolshevism.
Your story makes no sense. Why would she ask for food instead of money? Was she really your daughter's neighbor?
@@lucyk.5163 I am so sorry that I confused you. She asked for food so she didn't need to spend her own money buying the food. Usually if someone buys food and hands it to her, she will then ask for a few euros to go with the food. She genuinely lived around the corner from my daughter. They were privately renting the house. But the council or housing authority gave them a brand new 4 bedroom house. So she now lives in a beautiful house that is really well insulated it has heat recovery heating system. It also has solar panels on the roof.
I don't begrudge her getting her beautiful new house. But I was in the same town on Friday that was in my original story. You would never guess who was sitting on the street looking for someone to buy food for her children. Yep I bet you guessed who it was. 🤔
The tramps in ireland are the greatest! I asked one once if he had 3 wishes what would he ask for, thinking he might say food or something and i could get it for him. He said a neverending pint of guinness, so i said what about the other two wishes and he said 2 more never ending Guinnesses.
Irish “travellers” they call themselves. They’re Irish gypsies, scamming their whole life, generation to generation.
My mom wanted to give a woman $50 and thankfully I had been warned about that particular scammer. We watched her from the restaurant we had lunch at and saw as she got into her brand new BMW. A car worth many times more than what my mom owned. It makes me angry these scammers hurt the chances for those in need to get help.
🤬🤬🤬
Doesn’t mean she isn’t down on her luck and need money for bills. You can be a “future” homeless person if you don’t pay your bills. Maybe she lost her job a few weeks ago and can’t find work yet. I’m not saying that’s what happened but just because she has a nice car and is asking for money doesn’t mean she doesn’t need it.

Yep - this has been happening since the dawn of time. I recall my mother talking about this when I was very very little.
Yes indeed it’s a criminal organization but we still don’t know if they are being human trafficked.
Two things stopped me helping people like that.
1) I stopped to gas up my work truck and as I was coming out from paying for the gas with the company card, a man asked me for help. I didn't have any cash, so I gave him my sack lunch that my wife had packed for me. As I was pulling out of the 7-11 lot, I glanced in my mirror and saw him toss my lunch in the trash.
2) I saw an investigative report on a guy who always stood at a busy intersection that I passed through every day, and shooting from a block away, they filmed this guy take in over 300 bucks, assuming every bill handed him was a 1, and not counting change. Then they followed him as he limped 3 blocks up that main street then turned down a side street, where he lost his limp and walked to a new car, got in, and drove off.
Sorry, people who really need help.
People like that deserve NOTHING! I give them nothing! I know a guy in Houston that made around 75,000$ a year begging during the busy times of the day. Morning rush hour, lunch and afternoon rush hour while living on the streets. These People don’t need anything from the common man. They eat at the soup kitchens and stay for free at the shelters. They are sone of the richest people in America
I can agree I actually have almost the exact same reasons myself.
1. Different investigative report, but a woman AND when confronted she still had no remorse and even tried to justify it as she got into her new car and drove away.
2. I told a woman asking for a beer once I didn't have any cash, just a card. The woman literally then demanded I "swipe that sh!t.."
I bust my ass to make my 208 dollars/day. I'm not rich and I don't give a damn about someone who's capable of working or learning yet still begging. Get a skill and go to work.
This happens a lot, and has happened for many years.
My aunt used to live and work in London through the late 80's and early 90's. She would pass the same homeless woman every day and hand her some money. My aunt was running late one day and happened to be behind her as she was walking away from her usual spot. Their route was the same, so she was essentially following the woman, where she saw her go into a car park, throw her 'raggy' coat and hat into the back of a relatively new/expensive car, then drive away.
My aunt used to give her £5, back then, every day - and she wasn't the only one.
@@professormoptop a real guy never begs .America had so many jobs if you really want to grow .For example if you work as a pizza store you will get paid 12 dollars if you work for 10 hours for 30 days for a year its more than enough ,There are many people who wants to genuinely help people but no beggers.

When i moved to Chicago with my aunt for a year in high-school. I had never seen homeless people. I was very sheltered and naive. I started giving them money and buying them food. My aunt was a cop there. She told me to stop helping certain people. There was a few homeless people she would take me with to help even when she was off duty. They were always so nice. One day she pointed out a guy i had given money a few times. We sat in her car and watched him. After a bit he got up went and got in a nice car and someone else got out and went to his spot. She said some of these people arent homless...they do this to scam people and i see them do this everyday. I had never lived anywhere but in a small town of 6000 people. I learned alot from her. I was once waiting for her outside in the car and i never locked my car door and she always told me too. She came up from behind the car opened my door and drug me out. Then laughed and said thats how quick you can loose your life here if you dont lock your door. I never forgot to lock it again.
Sometimes you just have to learn from experience ("carjacking").

oh crap i forgot to lock the front door of my house! a stray cat just walked in. I will finish reading this some other time. BRB!
Yeah it's pretty sicking what this world has come to... liberals/Democrats have certainly had a hand in it! North Carolina is pretty bad with the homeless, drug addicts, methadone clinics, syringe exchange clinics, murders, and Over dose's, prostitution, and large slums! But the ones who live in Biltmore Forest (MANSION living community) act like there is absolutely nothing wrong! Being sheltered, or an introvert is never a healthy mind set when you want to get involved with the community, because you have absolutely 0% knowledge on what's going on around you! 💯‼️
I grew up in Chicago and learned all that stuff at an early age.
Immigrant or not, if a man I don't know wants me to meet him at another time so he can "change my life", I wouldn't show up either. The begging on street corners needs to end.
I had the same experience. We offered a homeless young girl in NYC work at a great restaurant and a room to live in in a fine hotel. She declined. I left her my number, but she never called.
I stopped giving pan handlers money over 10yrs ago. I feel that if you can stand outside all day holding a sign begging they can go find a job that pays to do the same thing.
It’s literally that simple.
They need to look at their lives and go figure it could be them with my disabilities and other peoples . Some are just wasting their lives while I can barely climb a staircase 12 steps unaided (!)

Begging is a crime that's why they motion with there hands like them with a spoon scooping and putting it in the mouth to signify that they r hungry and putting their hands together like they r praying .I seen a family right next to a restaurant begging they had cleen clothes shoes but, what was so funny they were begging by a sighn that said help wanted yes the resterant they stood by wants help u think they applied there ? I sure don't think so they know the sports where there r several cars go by and camp there with there babies ,dogs or there old parents just so they can get more money out of them stop helping them
There is, it's called fraud
CJAY...thank you for blessing other, but also making us aware. I helped a lady in wheelchair, double amputee, begging outside a Walgreens. When Walgreens closed, I was driving by...the woman got up from her wheelchair, folded her wheelchair and walked to her very nice, newer car. It changed how I helped homeless. I will only give food & water.
I lived in a car for a bit in my youth. A roof over my head nonetheless. I do remember this lady my mom knew was asking my mom if me and my sister (we were about 6 & 7) if it was ok if she babysitted us. I thought we’d go to the movies out to the park, instead, she told us to try to cry and didn’t even feed us. She just held up a sign. At the time I couldn’t read good, but I’m starting to think she was using us to scam others. Thankfully my mom probably realized that, because I never saw her again.
The other night I went to pick up food from an Italian place I go to. Got there, and saw a guy 2 stores down from it. He had 3 small bags with everything he owned in them. It was 9pm and he looked pretty desperate. He asked a few people for something to eat and/or money. Everyone ignored this guy.
I walked up to him and asked if he was hungry? He said, yes.
I said for him to come inside with me and I would buy him whatever meal he wanted. He only asked for a couple slices of pizza and a drink. I had the place add that to my bill, then handed him $20 for later.
Someone like that, I will gladly help. Because I can see they are for real.
Someone on a street corner asking for money? No way.
U R ABSOLUTELY RIGHT! MAY GOD BLESSED U! WELL I’M FROM SC ! THEY WILL TAKE THE MONEY AND GET DRUGS ! SO SAD!
Making me rethink some of my joyful giving!
I did the same thing. I saw a homeless man standing at the corner holding a sign, "Homeless, please help." I pull over and offer him a job, I pointed to the building where I work at, saying, "Look, I'm the manager of that company, if you can just walk down there right now, I'll offer you a job. I'll start you off with $18 an hour." 2 hours later, he didn't even bother to show up.
Thanks for at least offering. If I were in that state I'd hope a wealthy man would offer me employment.
I'd have worked it and done the best I could.
I wouldve taken it- doesnt get any easier than that to get a job.
LOL pan handling makes way more than $18 which is nothing after taxes.
I wouldn't take it bc my job description online say I can only make $250😥
Where is your com0any. I'd like to go there and beg.
Exactly! 💯
Let them sit there all day & night, they will disappear sooner or later 😂
It sad cuz their taking from people that really need the help, and people like her make it hard for those that wanna help, know if the person actually needs help. Thankyou for exposing a fraud. God Bless those that are actually in need.
So true! I watched a pregnant woman with a child who was begging on a street corner go behind a business where she had parked her Mercedes. I watched her put her toddler in the car seat and remove her fake baby bump and drive away. It made me sick. I also had a man approach me in a grocery store parking lot and ask for money saying he was hungry. I told him I didn’t have cash on me but offered him some of my food and he walked away. If he was truly hungry would have taken the food I offered. If you want to help donate to a soup kitchen, food pantry, clothes closet or shelter. The people who truly need help will get what they need.
That’s unfortunately not true. There are sick people who think it is funny to put stuff in homeless people food. A lot of them do not trust food that is homemade or unopened. I saw a story about a guy who offered a homeless man a sandwich with glass shards in it and I’m sure it’s gotten worse than that.
I did experience those things and I was talking about donating money to shelters and food pantries not making homemade food or giving someone a sandwich. I offered the person begging money from me for the groceries in my cart that I had just bought. They were unopened and I was loading them in my car when he came up behind me which is also a dangerous thing for anyone to do in these times. If he was truly hungry he would have taken the newly purchased food I just paid for. I even had unopened water and drinks but he wasn’t interested in those either.
@@vickya.7948
Same thing happened to my aunt. The beggar wasn't interested in food, just money
🤑
They are criminals!
I won't give money to beggars, but will share my food.
I have seen this too. We were with family at a weekend market in the park. A man there, in a wheelchair, was digging through the garbage looking for food. My young niece stopped and talked to him, a homeless vet. She ended up giving him all of the money she had. As we sat in the car discussing where we were going next, he walked out of the park talking and laughing with another man, full of life and energy, pushing his wheelchair. He walked to the back of his Lexus, popped the trunk and with little effort picked up the wheelchair and placed in the trunk. It was a miraculous recovery from the state he was in 20 minutes before. There are people who are truly in need. And I don’t mean to discredit them. But there needs to be an awareness of the scams that happen

You can always tell those who are truly in need vs these scammers. Just look at their hands, look at their clothing, look at their hair its prettu obvious who is legit and who isnt
Unfortunately con artists like this is the reason I quit helping people….. bought someone a bus ticket once and told them to pick it up at the counter, I’d emailed them the info….. then they emailed me and said ticket was stolen and wanted me to send them cash ! Offered a man a job once when I ran a pizza store and he kept coming around for free food but would never work! I can’t count how many times someone has come up asking for cash because they were hungry and when I offered to buy them food and they said no! If people truly need help they need to go to the local shelters, food pantry, church, etc.
If a person drank soda or pop like an alcoholic in the 1980's they set themselves up to be diabetic symptoms including high blood pressure because of the building of fat within the liver which filters blood causes backup pressure thus high BP. No fruits only herbs for vitamin C. No more simple starches and no more sodas , only filtered water from water stores that add the minerals lost from the process of reverse osmosis. Use RO water to boil eggs.
reminds me of a man that was asking me for a ticket home, i told him to ask another man not a woman, he kept asking, other people and also asking for a grilled cheese. Someone got him the grilled cheese and a coffee and i saw him trying to sell those for money too. i think he wanted the ticket so he can sell it and get cash for drugs
Yup I always buy them food. Never ever give them cash!!!!
Thats not necessary. Open your eyes. It is easily to recognise, who is real or not
But you gave them a chance. That was the right thing to do. I too had my car and dog stolen last week of July. My dog was dumped 50 miles away and my car was sold 60 miles away. I got off at a gas station. I went because this person begged me for a favor. While I was in the station, he took it all. I carry my cards in a cell phone holder. And he left a piece of paper, which led me back to his mother. He is a felon. I found out he's been to prison multiple times. He got 2 years probation for what he did. Im disabled. I want to help but I can't trust anyone anymore. But I don't want to punish all of our truly needed homeless. So I no longer give change, they can no longer get near me. I'll buy them a meal. That's it!
Yep, been saying it for years. When I lived on Hurontario, I always saw the same old man at the 403 exit. I would always chat with him, and he was a true homeless man, with a smile. He was such a nice man, I hope he's doing okay, I'd love to run I to him again and buy him a coffee. I remember on day, a lady in a car infront of me gave him a huge bag of home made cookies. He was so joyous, he was crying. I hope he's okay.

He’s right. I used to work in a bad part of town and it was company policy to ask beggars to leave. They’d get into cars I couldn’t afford. Be careful as to whom you choose to help.
Facts . I can remember once I saw a lady leaving the parking lot in a brand new Lincoln after she was scaming.
You are spot on!! They will even use the children as bait to pull at your heart, it’s criminal and they should be stopped!!!
I had a young woman using her baby to get "help". Her boyfriend sat in the warm car as her and the baby dealt with the cold to grab a few dollars. I told her I'd give her $500 if she left his ass today! Not even 3 days later she was back with him and her and that beautiful baby boy were out begging all while that loser was in the car warm and waiting. I can't help someone that refuses to help themselves. I would've taken that $500 and got a bus ticket to anywhere away from him.

When my husband and I were first together, we lived in an apartment complex. Leaving one day we came across a man who was digging for bottle returns in the dumpster. We stopped and told him we had a big bag of returns we could give him, and if he waited, we'd go get it. We started talking to the guy and came to find out, he didn't need it. He collected bottle returns his entire life, and financed three homes, the guy owned 3 houses. WTF! He wasn't panhandling, he was actually working picking up bottles and bringing them to the depot to get money for them. He was an example of an entrepreneur if there ever was one. lol
P.S. This took place in Canada.
Wow, thats impressive. Hats off to him.
Hmm, well, bottles don't give much money. You have to have 3 truck loads of bottles to receive maybe around $10.00.
How would I know? My dad use to own a junk yard. Scrap yard.
@@darialinderssen8768 I've gotten more than that on one p/u truckload. $50 - $60.00 the last time we went to the Bottle Depot. Maybe things are different where you live. However, In Canada, we have a deposit system where you pay extra when you purchase, and then you are refunded when you return the container (glass, metal, plastic, tetrapac, etc.) to the Bottle Depot so it can be recycled.
Still, that's not much even if you have 3 loads of bottles in a pickup truck.
It's ..glass.. Glass is not worth much, is all I'm saying. But is still acceptable to receive .. something.
Unlike number 1 and 2 stainless steel.
If you have a ton of these, you can make pretty good money. Where the person who owns a metal yard will have to have metal detectives to inspect it.
I use to fill out the book and log it. It's required for this to be inspected.
@@darialinderssen8768 To a scrap yard glass is not worth much, I get that. But, to a bottle depot, it's worth enough to be in the recycling business. Schools have bottle drives and can raise thousands.
Of course! People handing out money without accountability leads to this. If you want to give out money, Always give to non profit organizations that have a structured way of getting people back on their feet.
It's so sad . Because it stops people from helping those in need because of those people.
There are really people who need help. Bad things happen to good people. I know you help a lot of people. God bless you. Please don't stop.
I work around Saint Paul (MN) and always bought food for a homeless woman and her child sitting begging at an intersection. We talked more than once and she told me their names and how their husband left them. One time I was heading over there to give them each a sub and they started walking away. I didn't call out to them because I was walking faster and thought I would catch up. They went up to a BMW, opened it, got in, and drove away. I was left there holding two subs being completely stunned. I confronted her the next day and she threatened to call the cops on me. Since that day, I will not give any "homeless" person another look. Fool me once, shame on you. Fool me twice....
How can she call the cops on YOU she is the one committing fraud 🤔
You should have called the cops FOR HER!!! POS.

Not all are criminals or scammers. I use to work with a lot of homeless people. Some just lost a job and it was a slippery slope til they lost everything. Some mentally unwell. Some got kicked out. A lot of vets. They are had diff circumstances. Sure there were the ones on drugs and didn’t want to work, but the majority was vets and mentally unwell. Can’t judge. I’d rather waste a few bucks on someone who I didn’t need to than to pass up someone that does. Never know when you could be entertaining an angel of God. God Bless all
Totally agree! God bless you❤
I’ve seen this happening also in Southern California. I saw the man dropped off in front of the biggest Walmart . Then I saw it again same spot . These people make a living and don’t pay taxes. I believe in helping but not these type of scams.
Just because these people did this doesn't mean all homeless people are scammers. I was homeless and I lived in a tent. The gifts people blessed me with while I was panhandling saved me life and got me off the streets. Because of kind strangers I have an apartment and an amazing job where I care for others. Don't give up on people
Wow ❤ I’m so glad you got the help you needed and got into an apartment!! 🎉😊. Take care..
Only problem with this is, it’s who do you believe 🤷♂️ these scammers are making our minds up for us, therefore don’t give at all.
I give to charity, that way I know the people that need help, get it.
Giving to people sitting on the path, is not something I’d do.
Then you should be ticked about this scam most of all because this kind of thing kills charity. They are paid and shifted around and keep the handouts, so who is financing this and why?
Same here.. I was in Columbus Georgia living in a tent ⛺, disabled, during the whole time I fought to get SSI ... I walked for food everyday to the soup kitchens, churches,etc..for clothes,food,shower, doctor's appointment, and go back to camp so tired,and in pain, I'd cry myself to sleep.. it took 3 years of living on the streets but I finally got my SSI but it's still barely enough to live on..I only receive $914.. and once rent gets paid and utilities there's nothing left..so yeah ..some people are scammers,but not all.. my own humility would not allow me to panhandle.. but I did what it took to get by.

Once I saw an old guy dressed in military fatigues and he was begging for money. I stopped my wife from giving it to him. She asked why I did that and I explained that about 1 mile away is the Audie Murphy Memorial hospital. They have all kinds of services to help veterans and current military. He didn’t go there because he’s not a veteran nor a member of the military and he knows that they can and do check that. I rarely if ever give money to beggars. Stolen Valor is different. I’m from a military family. My dad, bro, all of my uncles and many family members served. One is listed on the Vietnam War Memorial. So stolen valor makes me really angry.
Excuse me but there are plenty of disabled veterans. Yes some are fake but not all are. Just because you know a place you can get help doesn't mean every homeless person has the resources that are in your city.

It depends on the area, not all cities have the resources and Tampa is a pretty big city.
@MsFlorida813 my dad is a veteran, VA will at the very least help you get food and help u in some way. They're not gonna turn you down and let you beg on the street 1 mile way from them, unless you're not who u say you are.
Veterans are not the only people who could need help so what are you saying?? If a person isn’t a veteran then they most definitely can’t get your help, but even if they are, it depends on if you believe them or not?? O-Kay. Also, plenty of people might wear fatigue pants, that doesn’t mean that they are trying to pretend that they are a veteran. Maybe ask some questions first before assuming.
I've witnessed this in Phoenix, AZ
Witnessed a woman eating at the restaurant where I was. Later, I saw her heading to the restroom with a backpack. When she came out, she had changed in ragged clothes. Later, an older woman with a small child came and met with her. I was a bit confused as to what I was witnessing. Figured grandma and the womans child. As I had finished, I was getting ready to leave the parking lot when I saw the trio coming out. The woman I witnessed changing opened the trunk of a very nice car, put her pack in the trunk, and took out a ratty one AND a cardboard sign! She hugged the child and older woman, and then she headed on foot to the street. The older woman and child got into a completely different vehicle and left. Ever since that day, I've been hesitant to give money to anyone holding a sign asking for help. I give food but no longer give money.

He was in a wheelchair and had a sign that read "Disabled veteran, please anything helps. God bless".
I turned into a Taco Bell next to the ramp to have lunch.

I watched as he got up, left the restaurant, walked out and over to the "veteran".
The "veteran" got up, did a fist bump with the other guy, handed him a wad of cash, and walked away.
The other guy then sat in the wheelchair and held the sign to replace his friend!

You are correct. That's why I don't give them anything. They prey on people's sympathy.

So, that begs the question: HOW are the ones who need help to receive said help if there are those such as yourself who absolutely will not contribute to housing and food money they seek? 🤔
The same thing happened to me. I saw a mother with two small children selling roses and asking her for money to feed her children. So I went to buy the children some water bottles, snacks , sandwiches and I also gave her $40.00 and she started crying. It made me feel so good to help someone out in need. So I went the next day to the same shopping center and she with another man with kids were getting outta a brand new Mercedes Benz. It’s so unfortunate that people have the hearts to do this to people who want to help. I leave it all in Gods hands.
It ruined the trust for the who actually need help
The left want to play on our emotions. Although I do feel for the needy and I am an American who has tasted homelessness while waiting on Soc Sec. I see the bigger picture, and if we can't help the needy without hurting Americans and because the criminals are coming too, then they would be better off where they came from. Too many are dying and traumatized on the route to the USA. This isn't humanitarian help. It's a political ploy that is usury to all, the illegal and the citizen. We are being set up for destruction as well as being replaced.

@@4dyamondx745 Im American, my aunt (who I really see is Mexican lives in Tucson ) while visiting, within 3 days I began speaking Spanish, not great but I could understand a lot. ...SO, IF anyone has been in the USA 3 years, they know some English. I don't buy the excuse, they cant speak English + PLUS they teach English in Mx. .
NEVER.. EVER.. Give money to an 'Urban Outdoorsman'. There are plenty of places to go for help. Blocking and distracting drivers, from the middle of the road at a busy intersection is not one of them.
This is all over England now, it's an epidemic of begging.
I saw one get out of a glossy white mercedes, that did it for me.
Now I make up anonymous parcels and give them to the manageress to distribute to people who it will help.
If I see a beggar I just say, sorry I give to people I know now.
In the UK they can't get nasty that gives cause to call police. This is why they are always polite.
I'm sorry for those in genuine need.
As an European this is a known gypsy thing.
They're a waste of skin
they fuckked/ pissed me off when ahh was in Europe.- they use their kids too target you with letters . even though ahh had rough garments and back- pack on they knew ahh was from new Zealand.
That profile pic is alarmingly accurate.
a) Clearly not Italian
b) Gypsies used to take kids (not their own) and actually break an arm/leg so they give them a disability and teach them to beg. Other times, they give them hard alcohol at a very young age so they are quiet and sleep for hours on end while they beg. in the more 'mild' cases, they all arrive together at a location in a van full of medical supplies (gauze, crutches, etc), then come out and pretend to be suffering from various BS ailments, then make a miracle recovery in the late evening and go home.
Exactly- I never give them anything- I rather help US Veterans
How is she a “New Emigrant” when she wrote on the sign better than 99.9% of people I know that were born in America .
LOOK AT THAT NEAT WRITING!!!!
👇🏼Thank you for the 👍🏼
It might not be her own writing.
Someone else did for her.
Because she is Asian 😂
Why some people stuck with just one reason in every issue.
All the Beggars on the corner carry around these little professional signs just the same way they do it protest they don't even write their own protest sign
@@treefrog123a ignorant is you not realizing that I’m calling her out as faking her writing. Ignorant is your unnecessary comment
Some people scam from the side of the road, and some scam from their mansion surrounded by gold.
This is Mavis Rd and Britania Rd in Mississauga, Ontario, Canada. BTW that woman was not Italian.
I don’t give money to anyone begging on the side of the road. I used to offer to buy them food or other things they might need but after buying food and watching it get thrown away because they saw someone else who might give them cash I was done.
We had a lady come to our church one night asking for money so she could go to the gas station across the street to get bologna and bread for sandwiches for her and her 5 year old granddaughter.
She had a long story about how she had been fighting cancer and she just needed money for food because they were starving.
I offered to drive her to the grocery store 5 minutes from the church and buy her anything she needed and drive her home so she wouldn’t have to walk and she could get good food.
She said she was too tired and just needed cash to get food at the gas station.
NOPE
Another time a guy came in and asked for pizza money for him and his sister. I told him I would drive him to the pizza place and buy his pizza for him. He declined because he “wasn’t hungry right now”.
AGAIN, NOPE.
I will help anyone who needs help, but I won’t buy your drugs, alcohol, or cigarettes for you. Sorry.
My mother was actually a refugee AND sick AND impoverished AND had cancer!!!!!No one helped her!!! Shame on these people! She never took a dime from people. Shame on you!!!!
Well done exposing them... It's also happening here in South Africa.They make me sick, these Rich people thats not satisfied, what they have 😮
My grandfather came here in the 1940's from Syria he had to learn read and write and speak English he had to take a test on our government and constitution before he could become an American citizen. He worked at a shipyard all his life, was married and had 12 children bought a home and paid for it all on his own NEVER was on foodstamps or any assistance. This needs to be brought back for anyone who wants to come here and live. This just makes me sick these people lying to get our hard earned money that we WORK for.
He did it the proper way....no one gave him money, a house, etc. He worked for it!
Wow, very interesting a good hard core man from Syria, God bless
Seriously. My grandparents immigrated from Hungary during WWII, and they didn't have a pot to piss in. My grandfather had to learn how to write, read, and speak English just to get a job. They bought their home with their hard earned money, no handouts! If people are willing to work and be productive they are welcome here
I am living here for over 35 years, worked very hard did not have my papers, worked any jobs, never depended on the government or anyone it was very hard.
Took care of two children a d got my papers but am still working, as long as I can, hope I will get my SS soon.
Yeah it's a big difference from 1940 and now
