Will you give money to the beggers on the streets?

I used to until the news started doing stories on some of the "beggars". The people they did reports on had criminal histories and were just scamming people. I know not every beggar is dishonest, but I have no way of telling who is and who isn't so I no longer give my hard-earned money to people on the streets. Now I always give to organized charities when I donate money.

I used to, but I find that the same ones are in the same places and if you contribute once they never leave you along again when you pass them.
