[quote=Anonymous]Western Fairfax County is increasingly having issues with panhandlers on Route 7 at various corners. Some have come into the street and knocked on windows or comes really close and put their signs against the window. Our neighborhood network has been talking about it, and learned that the police have said this group is definitely made up of scammers. This was echoed by local charitable organizations, and various neighbors have seen them 'gear up' for their day on the corners (fake neck braces, fake limps, dirty clothes, etc). What makes people not believe the local police and organizations and continue to give these folk money? Some even get angry and VERY politically insulting when you try to explain what's going on. Can anyone explain to me why some choose to perpetuate a scam?[/quote]
