Have you ever had a person approach you with a business-sized card? On the card it claims the person is a deaf-mute and is asking for money to give them. There was one time I gave $2. About 2 hours later I saw this "deaf" and "mute" person talking and it was obvious he could hear 100 per cent.
I bring this up now because as I was checking my emails at this internet cafe another man(I won't say gentleman in case it's another scam)and I have no doubt it is too, approached me with the card. Less than 3 minutes ago. This time I didn't give any money.
If he was really a deaf-mute I'd love to give and would have though I am part of the working poor myself.
I'd love to hear from hard of hearing people. Do any deaf-mute people actually go around with this card asking for money? Or is this another scam as when I got fooled the first time?
