Long-term friends, people we have just met, random strangers - they all want us to know their dramas.

How do you deal with it when it happens to you?

I usually give them all the money I have on me then follow them round to see them, as I suspected, do it to everyone else they presume gullible enough. There are some genuine cases around, but mostly it's just like the local beggars here - there are so many people pretending that the genuine cases get bunched in with them.

Oops, I just realised you were talking about Khmer, it's not surprising I made a mistake because most of the people that have tried to hit on me lately have been boratey.
I normally give money to old people and musicians, but I try to ask a local what there story is, or just watch Khmer people that know them, and see what they do. It's the only way I can tell if they are genuine or not.
If they are genune, they get given money by the locals, so don't feel too bad.
Also, Khmer have enough money to help their own nowadays, so if they aren't helping them there is a reason for it.

The really dodgey one's will tell you the biggest lies, cancer, death in the family, etc etc.and are after a lot more than 500r -' try $500 'loan'. They need a good slap in my opinion.

What financial problems? You pay for everything!

Except your shouts.
