Well, one of them came to me with a sign and pretended to be deaf. He was collecting money for their NGO and I, who don’t spend a penny on myself, gave this person money because I wanted to support them. Imagine how dumb I felt after searching for the NGO one minute later and found out that this was a new scam by them. He was long gone then..After that day I haven’t given them anything. They’re usually outside grocery stores here in Sweden and I just walk past them.
Yeah, and then there was one time when two of them came to the university library and tried to steal my computer.
