I once read about a school in NYC that trained people to be professional panhandlers. A very expensive program that taught acting skills, psychology, make-up, costume, etc. These people made a lot more money than the guy in the article. Many of them didn't even need the money. They just liked the idea of hoodwinking others while getting something for nothing.

Well, it's only a lie of the dude presents himself as homeless or poor, right? The guy that just goes around asking people if they can spare a buck or two is not lying...

"Omar's School for Beggars". It was a hoax played on the media by a famous hoaxer. There never was any such school.
