I read a website today and landed on a page says " Top 10 Crazy Money-Making Schemes (that work). I really love to read on that topic and one of my favorite is "Pretending to be Homeless"... I remember last week I go in shopping malls, while I'm walking on the street - there are some people beg me money and I swear I give them because they are really poor to see. But what if they are pretending to be poor, sick, hungry or homeless? haahha, I don't think so,... how about you, do you give money/food/things to the person you don't know who are begging you on the street or anywhere else? We don't know that they are more rich or abundant with us.. "pretending to be homeless", nice idea.

I gave them food instead. We do not know if those persons are just pretending that they are homeless or something for the sake of taking advantage to other people. There are also some beggars involved in syndicate and that's what they do for the source of money and worse they are using innocent people to do the job. So for me, to make sure that they are really the one who will benefit to what I gave, I offer food so that they can eat it instead of money.
