    This used to be illegal. People were complaining that Cops were arresting too many panhandlers so now they don't arrest anyone.

    He'd find a way to fuck it up. Besides, he doesn't accept handouts. Except for the welfare he receives every month.

    This has been happening forever. Here's a link to the story about the Toronto shaky lady: http://www.canadafreepress.com/2005/toronto061505.htm

    This is not that bad. It is work like any other way to make a living. While it isn't an honest way to make a living, I wouldn't consider it an outright scam. She isn't forcing these people to give her money. I wish they report more stories of thieves straight up stealing instead of somebody being deceptive and crafty to part people from their money. 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.

    Of course it's an outright scam, no scam forces people to give away their money, they are tricked into it by dishonest tactics.

    Lol, when I first read this I thought "how was she walking around if she had no legs", then I realized you meant you saw her while you were walking around buying shit.

    No. Pretty sure your first thought was correct. I've heard of this before. She was faking being legless from the knee down.

    It's a great scam.
