Anyone ever heard of Internet Begging sites and what do you think?

I’ve heard of them and I know many exist. The first one I heard of was a guy asking for money, to help get through college. He said he didn’t care even if people only wanted to pay a few cents. I know a lot of people sent stuff to him, so obviously he had a good idea.

I don’t think I would trust the reasons most people could come up with, as to why they wanted the money. But I don’t blame people for trying. I think it’s a cool idea, when it can be believed that someone isn’t lying about why they want/need the money.

Does anyone remember when Dustin Diamond (Screech from Saved by The Bell) begged for money to not have his house taken away. I am sorry, but i don’t think i have too much sympathy for someone who has been successful and who was probably irresponsible and threw their money away on partying, etc. (of course I really do not know what his case was) But it worked for him, so I suppose it could work and there are people who did sympathize. I’ll stick to donating to ones really in need.

@millastrellas – he was (is) a complete jack ass, too. His since of entitlement is amazing…how is it my fault that he didn’t keep up with things and this was before the economic meltdown.

i am seriously wondering who the people that donated money to him were? and did he do anything to show his thanks?

There was also this woman, Karen maybe, who begged to pay off something like $10,000 in debt. She had bought hundreds of pairs of shoes and other merch. I believe she paid it off. Personally I would never give money to such or other beggars. Combined with the fact that on the Internet there are tons of scammers etc, it’s a resounding NO.
