Beware of These Indian Couples or a Lady with 2 kids Waving For Help

[cbsteh]

Sometimes I feel like want to help those who are begging for help, in case one is a genuine case, but too many cooks spoil the broth. I was conned most of the times rather than helping, so sorry nowadays i would just open my bare palms and tell them I, am not much better, need help from others too. If lucky (or unlucky) enough, you will meet a handful of them in a day and burn a big hole in your wallet in helping them. Maybe next time when meeting them again, I'll just ask the police to bring them to Social Welfare Department for help, if they are genuine they won't run away the instance they hear about it.

Better not give them any money even if they appear genuine. If we really want to help, give money directly to charity or orphanages. We can even donate packets of Milo or diapers to orphanages or even have a simple lunch or dinner treat. It doesn't have to be expensive or grand donations.

The best is to call the orphanages and ask what they need urgently. My wife recently donated food items and clothes to an orphanage in Kajang. And while we were there, some family treated all the kids to a simple lunch.

Agree with you, best way to do good deeds is through some donations to orphanages/old folks home or even Temples if any of you are Buddhist. I don't believe in donating to people with those carrying Posters of handicapped people or old people asking for donations...

I heard from a friend is a scam and they have a team to do it. The amount they get as commission could reach as high as 50-80% of the amount donated and the guy who ask my friend for donation for those unfortunates, a young chap around 20's driving a BMW 3 series.

How true I'm not sure but I don't see how a young chap asking around for donations for the unfortunates is driving a luxury car doing this. I know they get commission from each donor but didnt know it was this much.

Exactly, I was conned a few times that is why nowadays I do not give any money to beggars at coffee shops, road side etc., If they want food, a plate of rice, a bowl of mee, I will glad pay for that but no money as some go and have merry time with compound brandy at night....
Yup, nowadays I rather give food items to old folks home, orphanage. I even donated old clothing, old but working table fan and TV which they glad accepted....
