Ever helped someone asking for money online?

They send emotional messages claiming to be in an incredibly difficult financial situation. I feel like they might be honest but at the same time scammers are everywhere. Who knows 🤷🏽‍♀

No and I will not. I don't know anybody online and it could be anyone with any ulterior motives. Even if I had a videocall with someone or talked to them for years. If I ever decided to do it, it would have to be a smaller sum I would be willing to donate to someone in crisis anyway and which I wouldn't miss. Which currently isn't the case.

That makes sense. I mean they might be affiliated with criminal activities. Shady stuff
@CrazyMusicLover
I ask for their workers comp info so I can cut a check and send a 1099, they never respond 🤔

No. Fortunately, I don't do emotion on line...only in real life.

a couple times. felt pretty used after each, but I didn't really drop tons on them, so ... meh.

Feeling used is horrible @dirge

@Nunki it's certainly not great. I'm going to assume they have conscience enough to feel bad about using people and let it go. not much use to hold on to.

Maybe if they had a GoFundMe or some other reputable fundraising site. But directly giving them money, never.
well, guess I will pull up my pants go home.

Never online, unless it’s a trusted and listed charity
