[QUOTE="tRidiot, post: 1750922, member: 9374"] Man, I sooooo wish you were right in this. But unfortunately, it is worlds away from the truth. :( As others have mentioned... the best counter for ANY of these approaches for money is to simply offer to buy in person whatever it is that the panhandler is trying to obtain. It'll take you a few extra minutes to go through with it all, but you'll 100% know that those who are scamming will find some excuse to decline, and you will know that not only did you keep yourself from being scammed, but for those few who actually take you up on it, you will have a genuine opportunity to help someone in need in an appropriate way.
