I thought I would share a little story with you. The other day while I was shopping I was approached by a woman who asked if she could borrow a couple of cigarrettes from me. I said yes a gave her two which she gave me fifty cents for. She then asked me if I live nearby and I replied no that I lived about an hour away. She went on to ask if I could loan her four dollars as she had run out of gas. I immediately replied no that I didn't carry any cash with me. Now looking at this lady all I could think of "Was do you really think I am that stupid?" She had four shopping bags in her hands from the mall. I quickly told her that I thought she should return some of her purchases so she could buy some gas to get her home. As I walked away I wondered how many people she would actually scam into giving her money.

Sadly there are a lot of scam artists around. Did you report her to the security in the nearest shop?
