Rereading your post, it's really hard to say if they were scammers. They had an old beater but if ran and had heat, they could stay warm. If someone wanted to set up a scam, doing the exact same thing would be a good way to go about it. I think it's almost better to offer to buy them lunch or some groceries instead of giving cash. Several years ago on a news magazine show they secrectly video taped(because of a tip) an elderly women dressed in ragged clothes to see where she went after asking for help on the street. She was picked up in the alley in fairly new luxury car(Mercedes I think)and they followed the car first to a Safeway(less the ragged clothes) several blocks away and then to a nice apartment building. They tracked her for about a week and learned her routine and which apartment she lived in. They took the camera's to the door and before she had time to tell them to go away, they got some good shots of the 50"+ flat screen TV and nice furnishings in the apartment. It was rather interesting that she was also wearing designer clothing rather than the the rags she wore on the street. They figured she must have taken in over $2000 in the week they were watching her. If I remember right, I think they interviewed some of the people about how much they had given her and the average was $10 to $15. The people were shocked when they found out it was a scam. I think in the end she was charged and spent some time in jail. There are some really professional scammers/actors out there. What's really sad is that there are some people who could really use a little help. Dave
