The  homeless man that gave a lady his last $20 ,was just a scam to get money. They were all in on it.

Stuff like this makes me sick. It makes people afraid to help others, who might actually need help ,and be honest and worthy people

this is an absolute disgrace!!!!  We were all duped into thinking that he was so generous to someone in need.  Some people are just rotten!

I just read about this on line this morning.  What a sad state of affairs.

I hate it when people play on our good hearts. I'm glad I didn't donate.

People never cease to amaze.

This is why we never hand money to beggars. Instead we have offered food.

Those beggars work together and move around to different areas of the city.

Give to the Red Cross because they will give to the truly needy.

Your first sentence says it all.

this is exactly why I hate all these "feel good" videos true acts of charity don't need to be publicized.

I never believed it -- too many things about the story didn't make sense.

It is rotten and they make it difficult for the ones that are really in need.  People will be leery of donating thinking it is a scam.  This is happening more & more.
