Forgive my audacity for posting on low karma.
Curious to hear if anyone has encountered people approaching you to ask for money? This is trivial but I just had the first one after living here for 7 years. Back in Sydney it was pretty much a daily occurrence on trains (and you know they'll blow it on alcohol). Have had plenty of people ask for donations to various obscure causes, standing outside stations etc, but not outright asking for help. I just hope the lady was actually in need. What are your experiences?
Edit: thanks for the replies. It's reassuring to hear it being rare, though sounds more likely I've improved a scammer's hit rate.
