My problem with western beggars is that they normally resort to scamming and lying as nobody would give them anything if they simply beg like the locals have to.
An example is a beggar who has infested Angeles City for years now. He approaches and says "Can you help out a fellow American?" Then he goes on to describe how his passport and money got robbed and he needs cash to get the bus to Manila (85km, $5 local aircon bus) to get his cc and passport back. He has a bad memory for faces.
Many of them are also quite young and could go home and work but they choose not to. They could also get consular help to get back but have to surrender their passport until the money is repaid.
Sadly, the same idiots who get suckered by these guys often would not give a dime to the local beggars who really are in need and have no choice. Even some of the local beggars are scammers. Another famous but recently cleaned up scam in AC was the "rent a drugged baby scam". Women would patrol the streets tugging at your sleeve quite aggressively, doing the hand to mouth gesture with the comatose baby in their arms. Western beggars who become part of the landscape are despicable IMO.

That's one done here too.kahoy wrote:Another famous but recently cleaned up scam in AC was the "rent a drugged baby scam". Women would patrol the streets tugging at your sleeve quite aggressively, doing the hand to mouth gesture with the comatose baby in their arms.
Maybe, but I'd guess they have serious mental or substance abuse problems. Wild Turkey man did steal Falcon Randwicke's motorbike a few years back.Western beggars who become part of the landscape are despicable IMO.
Romantic Cambodia is dead and gone. It's with McKinley in the grave.

Yes, one example being the infamous Siem Reap baby milk formula scam. The same beggar girls carrying the babies have been working the scam for years; I guess they have to trade in for a new, younger baby from time to time.Lucky Lucan wrote:That's one done here too.kahoy wrote:Another famous but recently cleaned up scam in AC was the "rent a drugged baby scam".

I've never heard of drugs being involved, but have seen them pinch the babies to make them cry before approaching tourists. Works a charm, you see suckers buying milk powder for them in the minimarts all the time.

I don't really understand what you all have against Jamie. He's a junkie, yes, but lots of you all do drugs. He scams , but don't we all in some way or another. He doesn't steal (anymore), or rob and it's mostly stupid people( who seem quite happy to be told that they met the "TM") that give him money- a fool and his money are easily separated or something like that, proving that Jamie is no fool.
For the record: Jamie is a far nicer person now than he was 10/12 years ago. He used to be an aggressive racist cunt and now he's ever so humble and is rather embarrassed by his occupation - that's what it is an occupation- and every time I see him we have a chat and i think "by the grace of god there go I" .
So give the guy a break he does you no harm.

k440, something to do when you're pissed.
@ hanky- did the guy you saw have a beard - 40 or so but haggard- possibly no shoes?
