The same effect is used by insurgencies they want their enemy to feel that everyone is against them when in reality perhaps only a small portion of the local population are supporters.But when something happens it makes the opposing force fell like everyone is the enemy.That helps push the ones in the middle toward the insurgency.

Of course scammers want to think that they are in need just like someone who really is in need.But when you see a person scamming it makes you feel like they are all scamming.And of course the scammer is not completely lying either they just are not telling you what they really are after.A good one is if the person "wants" food and you happen to have some or offer to buy it for them a scammer will find some reason not to take it.

Only one other time have I given someone money for food on the street it was some guy that had just gotten out of prison and he told me that he had spent the money the day he got released to buy one meal and the rest on a cab fair to the half way house he was paroled to.There was he said exactly what he wanted to eat and that he already had so many dollars left(I forget the amount 2 or 3 dollars) for the cost so I gave it to him and he did walk right over to the restaurant the manager was waiting for him and he gave the guy the money and the manager came out with the food and the parolee stood right there and ate it.

Maybe I have good Spiedy sense.

By the way in New Orleans they are all scammers.New Orleans is Gutter Punk heaven(their name not mine).Of course Gutter Punks do not lie about who they are while a scammer does.
