Remember this story about the Grandma forced to panhandle?
 
www.cbsnews.com/news /report-texas-teens- accused-of-forcing-g randma-to-panha
 
I was pumping gas yesterday just before 7pm at the Exxon across from HEB in Kingwood. A red car pulls up to the pump next to me. A twenty something man with black hair gets out and goes inside the gas station. The same grandma from the news story gets out and comes over to me. She asks me if I have a couple dollars for her. I said no so she starts asking other people.
 
I didn't think much about it but someone on the other site posted about her begging in the HEB parking lot. And I was like dude that's the same lady!!!
 
Anyways just add her to the list of scammers. 4951

OMG! This is the lady that has asked me for cash twice in the Neighborhood Wal-Mart parking lot on Northpark...there is an older thread about her and Kingwood panhandlers. Her grand kids must have hiding in the car again because I never saw them. She really seemed to be very troubled too. 4951

There has to be a collective effort to STOP falling for these panhandler scams and schemes. They do it because it's profitable. People are conned into feeling guilty for what they have...what they work hard for, and they are guilted into handing it over. Stop giving individually and put your charitable money towards a local food pantry, local shelter or a reputable organization that is held accountable. Don't get sucked in and don't feel guilty for your own success. 4951

@Jeff1928:  Same grandma and 20 something-year-old guy did the same thing to us at the up front Randles a few months ago.  He looks evil and she is very demanding.

Do you think she does this unwillingly or is she in on it?  Whatever the case, I agree that we need to stop giving away money to panhandlers.  Send them to organizations that can help and donate money to those organizations or volunteer your time there. 4951

@monyhoney:
 
I think there was an old thread saying that she told the cops that she was forced to do it only to save her own butt from going to jail.
 
She seemed like a willing participant to me. 4951

@monyhoney:  Yes, I think she must be in on it.  I have had her banging on my window demanding money.  He sits in the car watching her.  Maybe he takes all the money to buy himself drugs/alcohol.  He could be forcing her to do it but I think she would protest.
