Beware... do not give cash to passerbys

Hi, recently met a case here are the details:

One guy and one woman, well dressed, not local..2
will be at HDB estates stop passerby to ask money
will tell that they are visting relatives but got no
hotel to stay. tell u to help them
at first it might seemed that they are asking for directions
but in the end the guy keep shaking your hand to 'break the ice'
in the end ask you for $20.. and will ask you to leave contact and tomorrow they will send u gifts as a gratitude of returns
After rejection they settle for $10!!
I smiled and said no.. can't help..

Things to ponder...
1) They are not carrying luggages at all.
This means that they have not checked out of the hotel (if they are living in one.. If they really don't have money, they will have check out of the hotel
and carrying heavy luggages already

2) Not place to stay??
They had just said they visit relatives, if they have not place to stay
why not stay at relatives' place?

Beware my friends.

Just reject them.. report them? not proof!
dun argue or tell their loopholes or they become smarter!

something I dont understand.....

why this is in Bar?

stellazio SG

i never donated to them anyway.. Laughing

Ecxentrique SG

well..

anyway since the topic is already started, might as well be open-minded abt it..

I had a similar experience.. was in my car waiting at a car park when this chinese lady from china (from her accent) approached me and started asking for money.. saying something like she came from china to look for her business partner then now no money no nothing.. ask for a few bucks to take transport and meals...

same thing.. no luggage no anything.. would anyone do that at all bring so little money or sacrifice watevery she has to come over here? just felt bizzare abt the whole thing..

elektra SG

ask them to show their ID card to u...

threaten to call police Very Happy

sinicker SG

wudnt it be better if u tell us which HDB estate…..

nightyoung SG

No.. because they are always on the move.. just now was at Yishun area
if they seize a chance , they will.. be it sunny or raining..

it was raining just now.. it makes the story very sympatheic..
i wanted to help.. but they asked $ so its a no-no..

very obvious..
maybe if they ask me for a phone to call their relatives maybe i will..

v common er..

once this lady in NUS, sitting at Kent ridge bus stop, was asking money from me..she was saying she needs money to see doctor for her back. she had v bad posture, cant stand up straight...

i said, no money...then she went on rattling jus now got a young lady who was so kind hearted to give her a 50 dollar note, but she rejected cos she was worried that she might need e money for textbooks..

then trying hard again, asked for 2 dollars, so tat she can have lunch...though was contemplating to do so, i walked away anyway...she had losta one dollar coins in her hands...

losers.inc SG
