[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I am more concerned with the (housed) scammers who pretend to be homeless and harass people. [/quote]
Yes! There is a guy who stands on a street corner daily near Trader Joes who has a sign with his Venmo and Cashapp handles on them. He also puts out a wheelchair and never sits in it but chooses to sit in the back of his pick up truck. I've also seen some of these people "tag" in and out with others on the corner like they are a group who owns it. [b]Then there are the people who choose to use babies and their young kids to illicit sympathy by having them sit on the sidewalk with signs saying they are hungry then get into a newer mini van and drive off.[/b] Gross.

I went to a store in a large strip mall in Prince William county yesterday.   There was a family gathered in the grassy area between the parking lot and the main road (Sudley Rd. in Manassas, if you're familiar.)   It was a man, a woman, a toddler, and another child that looked to be about 5 or 6 years old.   Holding a sign saying they were hungry;  the little one was running around (I was worried she might run into traffic) and the dad was chasing/playing with her.   The interesting thing is just about every shop/restaurant in that strip mall has a sign up saying that they are hiring--yet an able bodied man brings his babies to sit outside and beg for money, instead of going into the establishments and inquiring about work.[/quote]
