It's like a lot of things in life. There will always be people who will take advantage of other peoples good nature. I am sure that unfortunately lots of people who have to beg are genuine but unfortunately there are people who will just think how great it is to ask for money and be given it. These people will just pretend to be poor as a scam, same as some people pretend to be raising money for charity when they are raising it all for themselves.

thax for response beaniegdi please rate the topic.
Your sentiments i feel are correct but is it not our duty as human being to at least try to stop such things from happening.
Shouldn't we do something about such things like spreading awareness!
& there are govt. programs which can help people who beg to earn money we could at least get people aware about it so rather than giving beggers money they can directly advice them do u agree with me?
