If they pass, we help them. Liked this post. What we do at our church before we help people is tell them we will have the police department identify them and run a warrent check.

Once this is done, other tricks come out of their hats. Usually, you'd think that at a busy, public place such as the parking lot of a supermarket you'd be safe. Unfortunately, these people are habitual scammers, liars and thieves.
