So I understand that not every person on the street asking for help is a fraud. Some people are indeed struggling in life and could use a helping hand. But in the news I've seen plenty of cases where people who aren't struggling spend the day asking people for money only to be seen driving away in a nice new car at the end of the day.

In order to avoid giving money to a potential frauds posing as a homeless/struggling person I thought what If I start questioning these people asking them what their story is. Like "why are you struggling, do you work, why aren't you trying to find a job instead of relying on people to be generous, etc".

&amp;#x200B;

I've even thought about wanting to tell panhandlers I'll consider helping them out if they show me their I.D. My theory is that people who have nothing to hide and really are going through a hard time in life would have no problem showing me their id if it meant they could get any sort of help. Someone who isn't comfortable showing me their I.D probably has something to hide like an arrest warrant or they don't want me to know their names because they might just be frauds who wish to remain anonymous.

&amp;#x200B;

If they do seem like legit non frauds who showed me their I.D and answered all my questions about their struggle story genuinely, I was also thinking to make them do something small for me to further test if their willing to work for my help. For example simply cleaning off my windshield and windows with a rag and spray bottle.

So yeah all in all WIBTA if I made panhandlers go through those hoops to earn my help, questioning them, asking for their I.D and making them do a small job? All this to see if they aren't frauds and to see if their willing to work to get out of their situation, or if they just want free handouts for not doing anything.
