Default Ike scammers out working (I got scammed in S.A)

Ok so i found out I basically got scammed, heres the run down. I was at Target around 8 pm Sunday evening. I park (the 750) and get out, I notice a black 07-08 Caddi Escalade with three really hot hispanic or middle eastern younger (early -mid 20's) females and a few car seats in the very rear. The driver pulls up to me as I'm walking to the store and asks me for a favor, then begins to spill the sad story about how they had to evacuate Houston from Ike (I had already noted mentally the Michigan plates) and they don't live in Tx but the atm ate their card etc and they're totally broke. She went on to rant about how they have no gas money or food or place to stay and if I could help out in any way. I DID note the kids in the back and I have a soft spot for little one's so I handed her a twenty and said good luck (it was all the cash I had as I usually only carry 30 bux in cash and the rest in plastic), This B**ch tells me to wait a minute then asks me "you can't do no better than that"? I was in total shock and just walked off feeling like a class A fool, oh well don't fall for the bs guys/gals end rant/.
On a better note I'm back home now and the drive from S.A was a blast no traffic in Houston at 4:30 pm imagine that.

This what I would have acted... "My bad miss, let me see that twenty." After she gives me that money, I'd say, " Fu(k you very much!"

some bitch asked me the same, i just ignored em. all the homeless people have a new line, no longer have to use the old "I was in Katrina" line, its now "I was in IKE"... for the ones who stayed, thats bad on their part, but if you had the brain to leave and lost everything, i do feel for you.

I work in downtown Houston, ie homeless capital of the world. I get asked probably 8-10 times a week for money. I have heard it all. I have never given and will never give cash money to anyone. I will give someone a meal if they are hungry, but not money. Most of the time they refuse the food. All they wanted was money to buy some rock.

They tried the same **** on me and my buddy in the Fry's parking lot off of NASA Rd 1. They were riding on some 20's, or poss 22's. Anyway, without missing a beat, by buddy tells them "You cant afford food or gas, but you have those huge *** chrome rims on your ride, get the **** out of my face". I just laughed my *** off.

about 1 of every 3 times i'm at the gas station near my house, someone asks me for money. i'm so used to it that i'm immune to their stories. the only time i gave someone money was because they offered to wash my windows, and i only gave him a couple bucks and told him that i dindt want his services but applaud his efforts to earn money rather than beg for it.

its at the point now where i can see them coming at me and i just shout out from the distance 'the answer is no!' and they usually walk away. if they dont walk away, i motion like i'm reaching for my firearm and instruct them to turn around immediatley or i'm calling the police to have them arrested for soliciation and loitering. havent had anyone try me past that point yet.
