2 Girls fake raising money for a cause, and keep the money to themself.

Oh! There are a lot of people doing that in my country specially on Christmas season. They say, they are raising funds for church, for handicapped people and many more alibis. They even give out flyers stating their "good" intentions but the truth is they are just using the names of churches and other institution. Often times they knock on your door. I hate it when they do that. They bother people just to fulfill their selfish desires. I often tell them that I have my own family to help. It's not being selfish I guess because I am just being cautious in giving help. I don't know exactly who is telling the truth.

Wow, talk about a flashback. It is bad and it is something they should be punished for, but i couldn't help but grin. Do you know how many kids back in the day pulled that prank? It happened all the time. some kids were 8, 10 and even highschoolers were doing it. That's one of the reasons why door-to-door isn't allowed anymore. well, that and it's not safe. It is awful that they did that, and i'm sure they'll pay for it whether by the school or some sort of karma. That's kids being kids. This isn't the first time kids did something stupid.

I have seen this happen way to many times. There was a fast food place by my old house and there was always car washes going on I stopped one time and asked why they were raising money the girl said it was for a school senior trip. I later found out it wasn't a school trip at all it was for a few kids to go on vacation for free!! I seen some one else make tickets sell them for 5 bucks each and no one won the "prize" I heard few people asked who won and she gave a friends name apparently the girls split the money!!

this is disgusting i dont know how anyone can try earn money off other peoples misfortunes. i hope they were caught and punished severely for this. i know people who were affected by the fires in austrailia and cant believe people who try to con others out of money for themselves. happy mylotting

They're learning how to con people at a younger age nowadays. I wonder what they used the money for and how many people actually got conned? I hope that someone got to the bottom of it and that the girls are punished for stealing - which is what they were actually doing when you get right down to it. Wonder how those girls would feel if the tables were turned? I bet they wouldn't like it. Best wishes!

This is absolutely a terrible thing to do. Cheating people out of their compassion for others. This is the reason why I only donate directly to the charitable organization. After I found out how donations were spilt from the charity shows, I stop donating. By the time the donation reach the charitable organization, the people only receive a miserable amount. As the tv station take a cut, telco company take a cut, performing artist take a cut, workers take a cut. So in actual fact we are not donating to the charity. We are just paying all these people involved in producing the charity show. So I beg all compassionate people out there who truly wants to help, please donate directly to the charitable organization. The lesser middleman, the more money they have to help the needy.

Its a bulls**t thing. Thats how lazy people want to get money easily. I really hate that A few years ago, there was a man who knocked in our house...wearing a formal attire and asking donations for the "church". I asked him which church (there are two churches within the neighborhood which he did not know), the guy said the one which is near but I told him that I will come with him and if he show me his church before giving him a donation. The man said, "Thanks, forget it." then he left.

Wow that is such horrible thing to know that even young children have this kind of thinking already. I hope they will be caught so that they would be taught a lesson about what they did. Although this kind of scam has been happening many times but this is the first time to know that young girls would do this.

At least they were dumb enough to do it in their own school uniforms and in the name of their school,otherwise they might have gotten away with it.....Still,that was extremely callous of them...Did the article mention any punishment,suspensions or expulsions from the school,if the money was recovered,and so on? I hope they got community service sentences..

That's really sad to hear. It also makes it harder for the poor kids who are doing legitimate fund raisers. People might not want to contribute if they feel it could be a scam. I'm saddened to hear about such situations.

Wow, this is really terrible. What a selfish thing to do! To lie to people like that, and steal from them. The man, who called the school, must have been really shocked, when he found out that the school didn't do any of this. I know that I probably would be.

This is really bad, to think about recession and people and striving their very best to fool people just to have easy money. They think they can get away with that, but God is watching is in everything we do. I think a lot of bogus things are happening around us. In my country, even educational plan and insurance policy they do sell to people fake. People will not trust to buy products because of pirated items and fake stuffs. I guess all of this is because of poverty that drives them to do it, or the greediness that people have to gain big amount of money no matter what they do illegally.

Wow, I can't believe these girls would do something like that. Well, in todays society, yes I can. I mean, people today are selffish and inconsiderate. Hopefully these girls got the punishment they deserved and I hope they had to return every dollar they got!

It is pathetic really for them to start conning at such a young age. Like the man, we too should call the concerned organization or school to check before paying -not after paying! To be honest I am not a big fan of these door-to-door charity drives. I prefer a pamphlet through the door, and leave it to people whether they want to send a check or not. When someone is at the door, we kinda feel obliged to shell out some change. Okay, I know many of you may not agree cos it is all for a good cause and all that. But even the idea of schoolgirls knocking on doors is not very safe in today's society.

That is pretty sad but the thing is, people when they want something are definitely not above doing this sort of thing for cash whenever they see something that they can easily cash in on. I'm really not surprised at it. It just amazes me how much effort people put into these scams when it seems like to me, it would be easier just to go out and get hired for a regular job. It seems like the rest is just much more effort.

That's sad. I can't believe how pathetic these people are. I would have definitely found the girls and turned them into the police if that would have happened to me. They could get a lot of charges for that. Annoying people. Annoying stupid people.

Some people do horrible things just because they think they'll get away with it. Did you know some people will send out fake church mails asking to donate? Then they keep the money to themselves. Con artists are everywhere and in all ages, genders, race, and sizes. Always check if the cause/association is real after donating. More chances to get money back if you look up the integrity of the cause and report it right away if something seems aloof.

I think there are laws for this kind of thing. I hope these girls don't do any more mischief that can land them in real trouble. Cheers!!

I've always thought about things like this, actually doing them, but of coarse I didn't because I knew it was wrong, I hope those girls were punished to the point they knew there are consequences, and I hope they had to pay every single person back!

I think this is horrible and I hope those girls are eventually caught and arrested! Their actions will end up hurting the truly needy because people will be hesitant to donate in the future, fearing that they're being tricked again.
