My plan re hard luck story.....................
It seems a very common scam for some to say that theyve been robbed of all their money, and it would therefore be easy to dismiss all who say it as fraudsters. Having said that, what if you were travelling alone and it happened to you? Imagine Thailand with no money?!?!
My plan would be to say, `ok mate, I want to help if you are genuine, I`ll lend you X amount of money until you can get money wired over
on deposit of your passport`.
Problem comes though when they say the passport has been stolen as well.....................
