You're Out Of Cash? Can You Venmo Me Some Change?

It's a story as old as the hills, scammers posing as panhandlers to get money from big-hearted marks. In New Jersey, cops caught a woman posing as a homeless person with a baby who turned out to be a scammer with a new iPhone X and a $500 purse; she said she was from Romania and working for a group of scammers in Brooklyn who dropped her off in New Jersey to stand by the side of the road with a cardboard sign. And that makes the public less likely to give to people who really need it. You're still best off giving to charities who directly help the homeless and needy. (NJ Advance Media/NJ.com)
