Have you carried out a successful con? Perhaps you hustled a few quid off a stranger, or defrauded a multi-national company. Or have you been taken for the wide-eyed, naive rube that you are?

while working in a pub in sheffieldsmelly scruffy looking guy walks in, hands me about 30p in coppers and asks for me to change it for him, i look over at the landlord and he nods as if to say "ok" i give him his money, he thanks me says something about being at work all day and leaves
so there you have it these people who ask for money in the street aren't homeless and down on their luck, they aren't even unemployed!!
after he left a couple of the regulars told me about a guy who got caught getting back into his BMW after a hard days begging according to them he was getting about £10,000 a year wandering around near castle market bothering people

Yes,I always believe what people say to me in pubs, too.
Is it also not beyond the realms of possibility that the smelly man said he had a job just to cover his embarassment? It's also possible that he did have a job, just a very, very low paid, unpleasant job, and you're making assumptions about his status.
Also, I don't know what world you're living in if you think you can afford a BMW on £10,000 a year.
