I know, life is so hard nowadays that it is far from possibility that someone will approach you and gives you a big sum money. Not even a stranger. But what if a miracle happens, and it does happen? Will you accept money from a stranger? What are you going to do with it?

Definitely everyone will want to get that money. But at the same time they will be afraid of the problems that we have to face because of it. Money is important in life.. But if it comes in a way that it won't create any problem then it can be accepted. Stranger giving money can't be accepted.

It is right, we need money but we should consider first where the money comes from and who gives it.

Honestly I will be tempted. But of course, I'm sure I'd think the money was stolen or something. But let's say it's actually clean money? Hey why not???? Miracles do happen. And nothing is impossible.

That will be cool! How I wish somebody would give me lots of money. But I will ask first where does the money come from. You will never know where does the source come from? if it comes from illegal activities I will not accept it. No thanks!

Well... it depends. If I was in the urgent need of money, I would accept it. Really, why not? I considered it as a help from God for sending someone who would give me that money to solve my financial problem. But if I don't need the money, I would probaby refuse to have the money. I mean, I don't want to put myseld in a trouble too. What kind of a person who give big sum of money to a stranger? There must be something wrong with the money too

No, I would never accept such a money without knowing the reason behind it. As you have said, he or she might be a stranger and the way he/she acquired such an income could possibly be quite controversial.

It is really hard to accept money from strangers not knowing where it came from and what is the purpose behind.

I remember seeing a news story regarding something like this some time ago..... (It may have been in a movie also so forgive me in advance if my memory is a little out! But I am pretty sure it was a real case.) A young married couple were in a Cafe and a complete stranger came up to them and gave them a cheque for 100,000 dollars. All he would tell them was his first name and that they were to name their first child after him. They initially thought that it was some type of joke but went to cash the cheque anyway; and were amazed when it cleared! From what I remember they do intend to honour his wishes and will name their first child after him. If this happened to me? Well it would take some convincing for me not to think it was a set-up because things like this do not generally happen! But if it did, I would accept it I guess. It all depends on any strings that might come attached!

you will not get anything from anyone unless there is some catch. but it is too risky to do so. i will probably say no.
