who is that? please don't tell me you gave ppl on the street money...

She was decently dressed. And crying. Said she had a fight with her friend and he left her in London with close to nothing.

She needed money to take a train back (don't remember where she said she stays), but no one wanted to help her.

really....? I'd buy her the ticket rather than give her the money. normally that calls their bluff.

I thought of that, but she was going to Kings Cross and I towards Russells sq..

i would say i'd do it anyway. normally it becomes obvious they're lying (if they are)

basically ppl generally have other means of getting money apart from strangers on the street..

wow hmm. do you get many people asking for money in the streets?

loads, esp around bus/train stations. all kinds of stories.

wish i could be thick skinned like them

they are obviously con artists! it's not about being thick skinned...

at least I'll never know if she cheated me, cos' I decided not to take her number..

Hhaha. I usually avoid this kind of people but yesterday, it was in uni and she looked genuinely distraught..

I was nearly convinced by this dude once, wasn't sure whether he's the real thing until I saw him months later doing the exact same thing.
