@Jordan2 I would never give money to somebody who was out begging for money (which is exactly what they were doing), did they offer any kind of documentation that this was a legit cause, it was probably 2 scammers out to scam people out of what money they were wiling to give, and then they laughed all the way to the bank.  I would have alerted the authorities.


@CareBears, the kid had some kind of tag he was wearing around his neck, I really didn't get a good look at it. I think $50 is insane to ask someone to "donate", I would sooner give a couple of bucks. 


@Jordan2

 

Anyone can make a tag.

 

This really isn't about how much they were asking for.  It's about not falling for a scam, and perhaps a very dangerous one.
