Crafty scammers....

There is a car wash by my house, and the same lady has been begging for money for food for her kids for the last 17 years. I have her a couple bucks the first time I saw her. But she would hit me up every time I was there. After a few months, I became irritated, and would start yelling at her as she walked up. A few months after that, I just started spraying her with the pressure washer. She finally started remembering my vehicle, and would leave me alone. But every time I got a new car, there she was again, I'd soak her again. Piece of shit crack whore.

I once made a bum in Sundance Square dance for $5.00. The bitch behind me thought that was the most rude thing I ever could have done.

He'd be in the right general area for his story to be accurate. Too bad the Chupacabras probably got him.

There is a scam targeting elderly females where a caller says that they missed jury duty and need to pay fine by buying a Green Dot card and then calling a number and giving them the info off the card.

There is also a scam where they are calling every business in the phone book telling them their power is getting shut off in 30 minutes if they don't make a payment with one of those green dot cards.

I dont give people asking for money anything as a general rule.

Ive handed out a dollar or two here and there because they seemed to really need it. I was getting gas one day, and an older family was at the pump next to me. I saw the woman run her card a couple of times, and then get back in the car and out to try another card. They were in a reasonably new car, all dressed like they just left church, but all in black. I looked over to see the driver trying to hide her tears from the rest of the family inside the car, and asked if everything was Ok. She told me that her father passed away earlier in the week, and her family was inside but her card wouldnt work. I bought her a tank of gas to help her save face.

Very nice! A month or two ago, I was getting gas near my house with my wife and saw a nice black lady talking to her son inside their old Mitsubishi car. Her 10ish year old son gets out of the car after a minute or so and goes inside to pay. She gets out to pump gas and she saw me looking and said to me, "He's autistic and has ADD, so I need to give him very specific instructions to go inside so he knows what to do."

I watch as she gets only a little gas into their Galant sedan at most before their prepayment stops. I finish pumping gas and pull out to leave and I just felt something tugging me from the inside and I pulled back around. I get out and asked her how much gas she got in the car and I looked at the pump. It was like 3.5 gallons in an old Mitsubishi Galant, so that wouldn't get her very far. I looked at her and asked if I could fill her gas tank and she just broke down nearly in tears. Her son got out and started saying "thank you so much, sir." I almost broke down myself. She said she had asked to borrow her sister's car to go to the store so she could buy some food for her and her son and agreed to put a little gas in it in exchange. I filled up her car with another 14 gallons or so and said her sister better let her drive the car many more times for a full tank!

I gave her a nice hug and shook her son's hand and left. In retrospect, I wish I had given them a little cash too for the grocery store, but didn't want them to feel like it was a total charity case.

A lot of us on this board take it for completely granted (including me for sure) that I can fill my gas tank no problem whenever I want and if you guys look around at the gas pumps, you'll see a lot with $5, $10, $20 exactly on the pump meter from the prior person there. A lot of people are hurting for sure it seems.

I take it for granted that I have the ability to fill up when needed, and I sure remember the times in my life that every penny was budgeted for and there werent enough to go around.
