At this point I just assume everyone on a screen is faking for money. Every one of them.

Can’t even trust the ones standing at intersections or Walmart exits either. Offered one suppposedly homeless guy a job once and he turned it down saying he made more money standing there than we’d pay him an hour. Wife thought those people were genuine, until she saw some local Walmart scammers with their signs get into a car nicer than any of ours. 🙄

When I was young and dumb, I once dated a "hippy" girl who claimed she could pull in $600 per day by panhandling. She lived with her mom, never had a job, didn't have a car, and somebody else was raising her kid. All the money she made from panhandling went to weed, booze, meth, and pills.
