Also sucks that someone genuinely in distress might be considered a scammer since it is getting so prevelant here.

I was just approached this evening and I politely refused but my conscious is killing me on whether the guy really needed help even though he had some baller rims on his truck

What would you guys do in this situation or have done in the past? Lots of crazies out there....how to tell if someone really needs help or not..

so someone finally pushed aside the rock you were living under ??

cool......

I gave a guy $5 NOT to try and wash my wheels or windows on Saturday.

I give the guy on my exit at least $1-2 dollars when I see him.....

Rather be the one giving money vs being on a freeway overpass asking.
