i've encountered a similar situation. there was once i was smoking outside jurong east mrt station in school uniform without my college collar pin. there was this dark complexion guy who approached me and asked fer $2.80. he said he just arrived sg from manila few days ago and needed some cash to take train home to pasir ris frm jurong east beacuse he left his wallet in his office. out of compassion, i gave him all that i had which was coincidentally $2.80. he thanked me politely and walked away. HOWEVER, while i was still smoking, it flashed thru my mind that it might be a fraud, so i searched for him. i hid behind the pillar near the GTM machine and monitored his actions. he wasn't buying the transit card at all instead he was roaming around. so i approached him, 'hey man, why aren't u going to the platform?'. and he replied, 'eh no, i forgot i need some more money to take bus home frm pasir ris interchange.' at that moment, i flared up and grabbed him by his collar cuz I DID NOT WANT TO GET CHEATED FOR MY KINDNESS.' i didn't wan him to cheat others especially the old folks. so i talked nicely to him and asked him to FK off from my sight. i WARNED him not to do that again.(though i know obviously he will do it again) -i guess i became his target cuz i was in sch uniform, as u know this kinda ppl like to target both young and elderly ppl. this incident happened 4mths ago only and similar cases were reported on the chinese papers at that point of time featuring local elder and foreigner cheats
