(This topic is VERY important, especially for American Residents... please sticky)
I wish I had my digital camera, because yesterday I was at a train station to visit some friends. There was a family sitting up by the rails and they looked distressed.
They were just quiet and all of a sudden, they were questioned by a man (african-american) who brought another man with him. He asked them where are they from.
They first said they're in Dallas. Like 2 times.
and then the man asked the woman (in the family) where is she from and she says Bourbon Sreet.
(Bourbon Street is a road in Louisiana that promotes city life and doesn't have a residential area)
The man said... "there aren't any residential areas on Bourbon Street because I am from Louisiana, because I'm from there", and then he showed his tattoo of a Louisiana Crest... and it's been there for a long time.
The woman then said... "well we just moved to Dallas from Louisiana." and the other man (also african-american) started asking for his money back.
The woman says "We need this money for food, and I thank you and God for it" and she gets up and walks away. She then said "well my house is flooded down, and we had no choice"
Then people started walking up asking for their money back, and they wouldn't give it to them. I was just sitting back watching the whole thing wishing I brought my camera because I could've took pictures of the whole thing. The faces I could've used.
After like 10 people walked up asking for their money back the rest of the family walked away. Funny tho, I know a lot of people from Louisiana... and those people sounded and looked Texan. I could see it.
Problem was, those people tried to dress themselves down, use their kids... so they can jack money from unsuspecting people in Dallas for money... and there is probably a case just like this in other cities (I know Austin had 2 imposters caught now).
This haven't reached the news yet, but trust me it will... and I am one of the first to witness this and have it down. Just need photographic proof.
--------
NOTE TO PUBLIC: If that person does not have state identification (Louisiana) on them. Do not encourage yourself to just give money to someone. I know what its like to not have food on the table for 3 weeks. If someone is hungry... buy them food... get them a hamburger from mcdonalds or buy them something from the store they can go a few hours on (bread, canned fruit thats easy to open) You can survive months without food. I went on a month myself. I can do it. So can others.
Please refrain yourself from giving away money to people who maybe imposters becuase you're only giving in to crooks. Take steps. Be cautious. And only donate to charities that are backed by actual companies such as, The Red Cross, Best Buy charity, things like that. Because some people go from 1,5, or 100 dollars (even more) into charities and individual people... and maybe someone got robbed of a $100 and that's a lot of money.
Thank you
