It's too bad there are shady people scamming. It hurts those really in need and in an emergency situation. We gave to one guy who lost his wallet and was sitting by the roadside distressed with his dog. He sent the money back to us although it was not necessary. Another time a lady broke down in tears when I gave her enough money to make a simple call and get a taxi to get home. She was not a scammer but it gets hard to tell...and people in real need will fall through the cracks when they are in a real on the spot emergency because of these other guys. I don't want to become indifferent but I don't want to be a sucker either...so I discern as best I can.
