Cersetorii sunt prezenti in aproape orice oras de pe glob si dupa cum probabil stiti deja, nu toti cei care va cer un ban la un colt de strada sunt atat de saraci pe cat par, ba din contra. Acelasi lucru a fost demonstrat si de politia din China care a arestat recent 4 persoane acuzate de cersetorie, ele fiind vazute de catre politisti utilizand terminale iPhone la putin timp dupa ce au frecventat statii de autobuze sau metrou cerand bani de la calatorii care veneau sau plecau din locatii.
Ragged clothes, a tragic story and a begging bowl: beggars are not unusual sites in busy city squares or subway trains. But are they quite what they seem? Some could be richer than you. On Saturday, four “professional beggars” were caught in southwest China’s Chongqing Municipality, allegedly cheating money out of local people, according to China’ s state broadcaster CCTV. Local police were informed that four people were pretending to be penniless migrant workers, unable to return home on Saturday morning. When the police took the four to a local public security bureau they got more than they bargained for.
Informati ca acele persoane nu sunt chiar atat de sarace precum par si ca au in realitate inclusiv terminale iPhone, politistii i-au arestat pentru a afla mai apoi ca aveau in fata un grup de infractori specializati in inselatorii. Se pare ca barbatii au pornit intr-un “tur” al Chinei, prezentandu-se ca muncitori saraci care nu au bani sa se intoarca acasa dupa o saptamana de munca in marile orase din China, ei practicand aceaste inselatorii de mai bine de un an de zile.
An initial investigation found the four to be from east China’s Anhui Province. They disguise themselves as beggars before going on a “cheating tour” around the country. They usually claim to be migrant workers who lack the money to go home, and the public fall for it, one of them confessed to police. Last month, they flew to Chongqing to “collect money” to prepare for Spring Festival — Chinese New Year — which falls on February 19. So far, each has raised some 800 yuan (130 U.S. dollars). They all own pricey watches and iPhones. According to the police, one of them has an iPhone 6 Plus.
Cersind banii chinezilor, barbatii au reusit sa adune aproximativ 130 de dolari de la persoanele care s-au lasat pacalite, insa suma este infima in comparatie cu preturile iPhone-urilor sau a ceasurilor pe care ei le posedau. Unul dintre “cersetori” avea un iPhone 6 Plus, iar asta spune multe despre persoanele care va cer bani pe strada, in majoritatea cazurilor acest tip de oameni avand mult mai multi bani decat lasa de inteles cu o imbracaminte “potrivita.
Cazul din China este doar unul dintre sutele de mii inregistrate anual, iar atunci cand va ganditi sa oferiti bani unei persoane care pare sa aiba foarte mare nevoie de ei, analizati bine situatia si nu aruncati bani in vant oamenilor care nu merita.
