fake beggar scam, lol.
Surprising? LOL, this is NY. Home of scumbags and hustlers.
Didn't I see this in the 80s? Oh right it was a eddie murphy movie
This used to be illegal. People were complaining that Cops were arresting too many panhandlers so now they don't arrest anyone.
Oh and now is the best time too, since all the tourists are on vaca here.
This has been happening forever. Here's a link to the story about the Toronto shaky lady: http://www.canadafreepress.com/2005/toronto061505.htm

Not long ago at a casino some dude gave me a big long story about how he needed $5 to get a bus ticket back home to his family. It sounded convincing at the time and I was drunk so I gave him $5. Half hour later I saw him playing a slot machine. I when and asked him "what about the bus ticket" he just shrugged and kept playing his slot. These kinda things are common and and have been around forever. Shes just smarter about it and putting more work into it, and I'm sure is getting compensated better for her efforts.
Also in st. cloud where I'm from theres some legless lady that rolls around on her wheel chair collecting handouts. I saw her the other day at target walking around and buying goods.
We have already seen 408 swallow cinnamon....Im sure there are plenty of things he could swallow around Times Square for money.
Should be treated the same as a phony charity
that bitch earns her money.
