That's not even a scam, that's just pure begging. I am able to tune that out like the plethora of "homeless" enterprising beggars at traffic intersections. I'm not heartless, but i need to know more before I give. Like the guy in Sri Lanka that stellebelle and I each sent money to so he could build a well in a drought ridden land - instant $50 from me and $75 from Stellebelle. but scammers wont just come out and ask, they will take you for a ride and sell you bullshit.
