Yeah.Got stuck with few things i either agreed on putting on my credit card or co-signing.None of those mistakes made me less willing tho.Would probably never trust those specific individuals again but i would feel much more horrible if i said no to someone who really needs it and is decent.b


Actually bold scam?Once,i bought 10 dollar thing from those people who walk around with stuff.It was a really hot day and felt bad for him.

Yes, well...not scam per se just bad decisions with money. I once spent £500 on a deposit for something I didn't end up buying so I lost the deposit :snoop:

Yes by professional beggars who were all Muslim. First time was years ago, I was studying at the library with a friend. We went to go home a little after maghrib and this woman greeted us with salaam, she and her husband told us a story about him losing his wallet, living a hours drive away & how they needing money for gas


We gave them our last $20 that we needed to use for our bus tickets. Wasn't much but till this day ciil baa iga qabto, since we were broke highschool students. :lol:
