Op, God bless you for your kind heart. I think one of the criteria to watch out for are those who register just recently. You may know a genuine Nairaland person who need help from their history. If you read up on their comments and posts, you may get an idea into who they are. Also, request for a snapshot with the day's paper and any other thing you need that may not be easily fixed. I'm not going to discourage you from giving because I know there are some people who genuinely need help and a few bad eggs shouldn't stop us from doing that. Thanks one again for being a good person. |

haven't commented on a begging related thread before but this one's somehow... If because of this you wanna stop helping people I guess you're in the wrong path. it's quite difficult depicting real beggars from fake ones but I think I have an idea, I'm trying to do a little giveaway but with these things I'm seeing it's getting me discouraged. 1 Like 1 Share |

Some of we nigerians are moved by sob story, thats why these scammers are cashing out big time. Some will come with 'my wife is in the hospital another will come with 'all the people in my family are dying' another will still come with 'i had an accident I'm unable to walk, I need money to survive'. Whereas people have pleaded for help on this forum to revive their business, to startup a business, to make something meaningful with their lives, even to loan them, no one answered them but are quick to tell a sob story teller "send your account details". I know no one owes anyone anything, but if you're willing to help a sob story teller, be willing to help those that has something to offer humanity. And that guy that has been posting pictures of his family lying on a bed, I've seen that picture used by numerous handles on Twitter. well op just help the ones you can and let their conscience judge them. Patapata the money no fit last them do better thing |

Scammers make it bad for the genuine ones. That’s why I don’t blame people for stringently vetting (to the best of their ability) people and their identification before sending money. 1 Like |

I sent some money to someone on this forum who said he’s a widower too. It’s not the same name and that person was able to show me identification to show that he’s who he said he is. But it’s eerie that their stories are the same. And it was also weird that the account number he provided was not the same as his name although he had an acceptable excuse for that. Now it’s all making me wonder. However, I don’t regret a thing. I only give what I can afford to lose . Also, I don’t expect small assistance to make someone not need money anymore. But if you see them all the time making same request over and over again, then it means they are making a career out of it and that’s not fair to the givers who are sacrificing what they have to help others. 4 Likes 2 Shares |

Just as there are fake, so also there are genuine ones, but one thing I will want you to understand is that every sincere giving has a reward. |

if you want to help people, just help, if you don't want to back out. Last last you helped. it doesn't matter if the person you helped was genuine or not. you played your part as human! |

True. I am a genuine needy person. I recently went through operation at the teaching hospital that almost cost my life. I spent all my dime and life savings even though I am a professional but find it hard to stabilize yet or build my personal firm due to the situation in this country. To say life is tough for me is putting it mildly. I owe about 2 loan app, and I am just depressed and tired as there is no hope in sight for me before and recently before this covid 19 chaos. I am miserable and need help. I am not giving out much details here but I can oblige you on whatsapp. Please help and give a brother a lifeline. You can contact me on whatsapp sir 08159443858 BLUELemon: |
