As a filipino-canadian this makes me sick.

Having Filipino's, as a whole, associated with these fucking twats = :fuuuuu:

been a REAL long time since i've seen the squeegee types while i was driving around.

panhandlers are often down on their luck and really need the money to survive, these filipino lady/scammers seem to do it to earn a living :suspicious:

there was a squeegee kid in the intersection of boundary and grandview last week. i have to make a point of paying attention to them after one carved up my side window with a squeegee that had no rubber blade.... so no, they are not doing me a service.

i'm not sure whether the pandhandlers are actually using the money for food/shelter or drugs/booze.

can the cops do anything about the filipino lady/scammers?

Aren't you suppose to have a permit to solicit in campus grounds ? Just report them to campus security and go from there. Tell security they are doing fraud.

The difference is these people are at least puting forward an effort not just holding their hand out

If a squeegee guy had a hat and I told him I'd give him $20 for the hat he'd probably sell me it cause he needs the money that bad, if I was to tell the Filipino ladies to give me their charity registration number they'd probably balk at me as an insult

I'll give Somone $20 to get some booze over some scam artist who's going home to a house and spending my donation on purses and shit

I seen them at my school...
Also at ubc.
The thing is they disguised as students..
One indo/flipino girl started starring at me and just held out a pen to me.
At first I thought "sweet, free pens", but then she asked if I were Chinese and held out a clipboard to me. I asked what is this for and she said "help children in Asia." (with her broken English)
I wasn't convinced so I gave her back the things and I was on my way while she gives me a weird stare trying to guilt trip me.

If I want to donate, I will donate to legit organizations that actually help the cause. I really don't trust these solicitors. :suspicious::suspicious:

Mr.HappySilp 12-18-2013 11:42 PM

Saw them at dt library I had my headphones while they try to ask for money. I just pretend they aren't there and just keep walking. You think they get the hint but nope follow me for a street then give up.

Ronin 12-18-2013 11:55 PM

I can't wait for the next time I run into them.

Just going to shout (and I have a very loud voice) "DON'T DONATE TO THESE PEOPLE. IT IS A SCAM. SERIOUSLY. YOU CAN GOOGLE IT." and walk away.

fliptuner 12-18-2013 11:58 PM

Ask if you give them 5 dollars, will they love you long time?

MaaaadMan 12-18-2013 11:58 PM

I saw a few Filipino ladies doing some donation thing at silvercity riverport. They weren't rude or pushy as the ones posted before and I didn't know if they were a scam or not. I didnt have change on me that time though

CRS 12-19-2013 12:08 AM

Always ask for a charity number.

So 2 of them walked right into our store today. one of them gave me a pen in my hand and told me to write down how much I want to donate and the other bolted passed my counter of our showroom and tried to go for the manager's office. I held my hand out and said, sorry employees only beyond this point...and the lady said in a loud voice, "you touch me and I will sue you!"

I straight up shouted back "GET THE FUCK OUT SCAMMERS OR I AM CALLING THE POLICE FOR TRESPASSING, AND DON'T EVER FUCKING COME BACK."

They left and I got a pat on the shoulder by my manager for being a dick lol... what a lunch...

El Bastardo 03-13-2014 11:15 AM

Two of them just walked into our Richmond office and started strumming the guitar and asking for money for orphans. We were all baffled and asked them to leave immediately. What the fuck?

Xu.Vi 03-13-2014 11:34 AM

Looks like they made their way up SFU BBY too... Just got asked last week in the cafe.
