    To some of the subscribers, don't be too harsh on the Pharmacy lady she's giving up her own time to help and she's opening up new doors for Troy and the donors.

      I totally agree with you Andrew. The pharmacy lady is the nicest, caring, understanding and wonderful lady you can ever meet. She has done so much for Troy without any compensation or recognition. She's kind-hearted individual just trying to help other in needs.

      Let's support her. Remember a couple of vids ago she took money from her own purse for the old lady before the old lady had donors? She is a good woman, even if Troy spins out a bit about her extroverted nature. She puts Troy onto genuinely sick and needy people, and she genuinely helps. I'm donating 50AUD to her, but I bet she doesn't accept and gives it to someone else.

    I made my donation to the single Mum before I knew of any suspicion of a "scam" which sounds like a fairly straightforward one: Suppliers and buyers one and the same, trap the poor individual in between. I've been scammed myself (in a far more sophisticated way) and I choose to believe Mum, her emotional reaction spoke volumes to me. But even if she were scamming me, to be perfectly honest - I don't care! Desperate times like these mean that people there must explore every possible way to make a little money and are easy prey for criminals. I know that any money Mum receives will go to looking after her little one and that's all that matters to me. Huge Thanks to the "usual suspects"; William, Janny, Antonio, Vinh and Robert - Great Job Guys.

      Your attitude reminds me of something that happened to me in South East Asia. There was an elderly woman with no legs crawling on the road covered in filth. When I stopped her to give her some money, I was told "Don't do that, she is a scammer and is probably more rich than you". My reply was that with no legs and crawling on the road like a caterpillar, if that is a scam then I am ok with being fooled. At what point of misery is someone enveloped before others will have mercy?
      I think you are right about single Mum, she has no reason to lie, the donations came before the information about the scammers. It doesn't make sense that she would tell that story to receive assistance, when she already got the donations. We can see she is in an extremely bad situation, and the help given will be of benefit to her child. Thank you for your donation mate, all the best Karma for you and your family.

      ​@@caralukkhrueng6175 Thank you Cara, you are clearly a "Kindred Spirit". This story has an extra resonance for me because my own daughter was (and I guess still is) a single Mum, her partner passing away just months after the birth of my beloved Grand-daughter. Struggles with money etc. while committing yourself 24/7 to the care of a child for many years takes it's toll wherever you are in the world and here in Vietnam right now, this unfortunate young lady is having a very hard time of it. I was able to help my own kids through it and I will do what I can to help Mum and the little one right now. The lack of a male parent/role model seems to be an unfortunate common factor with many of Troy's cases and it's so important for a child's future development to have a balance. BTW. My substitute Dad role worked out pretty well and 28 years later, my Grand-daughter (Rhiannon) and I are very close. My Very Best Wishes to you and yours. Jay.

    Ok. After rewatching her explanation I think this is what happened:
    1. "Buyers" put in orders for watches.
    2. She advanced the money of the shop she was working for, to a online group that sells watches, to pay for the watches because she is convinced she'll make the money back plus profit from the "buyers".
    3. Once she received the watches the "buyers" canceled.
    4. The "buyers" were the online group watch sellers

    • @cryptoman9530

      Yeah Tate, that sounds like what happened. To add to this, I think maybe she was working for a shop of some sort, and used the shop's money to pay for the watches. Now she owes the shop their money back for the scam.

    I'm both amazed and disappointed at the continued criticism of Chi Hop (Pharmacy Lady). Together with the redoubtable (and previously maligned) Stalin and Quyen these ladies are doing wonderful and vital humanitarian work and deserve our praise not criticism. I fear we are judging Vietnamese culture by our Western standards and being unnecessarily offended on other peoples' behalf. Big Mistake!

    Hi Troy, I love all your videos, first of all, I would like to say thanks for help out the struggling people. I don't have any word to express about the 2 ladies go with you to charities, but they are very rude and the way they talk down to the poor people. They told the girl with the child need to dress like a poor so people would be more pitiful for the story. If you go back watch your own video and listen to both ladies. Feel this video is just a scam artist.
