Reality is that many in the world have a disposable income of say $1 per day, so many people in first world countries are "obscenely" rich relatively.
I have been in situations where I have believed a few dollars will help a child, will prevent a rape, or will prevent jail time for an innocent.
Is it better to be a good person, at the risk of being scammed? The same happens with beggars - sometimes there is a genuine need.
I develop my shit filter by helping others, even at the risk of being taken advantage of, because it is worth the wins, and I wouldn't want to be a person that doesn't help genuine need when it only costs the equivalent of a few beers (or more!).
