Out of gas in Murray KY on way to AZ

A guy was at Walmart trying to raise money for gas and food in a class C so some others helped out and I topped off tank. Hoping he makes it to Phoenix.

  • As kind as you were you need to beware that not is all what it seems to be.

    I always try to find the good in everything. But. Full-timing over the past years I have seen way TOO many instances of this same scenario. As noted in the above post. There are MANY of the scammers out there getting gas, money and/or food for free.

    They are just pan handlers preying on our instinct to help other RV'ers. And they are finding it very rewarding for themselves.

    Just last week I ran into 2 more of them. One even claiming he was trying to get his mother to a cancer treatment center after I said no his first request for gas money. :R
  • Wow - Saw the exact same thing in late summer here in MO. No way of knowing but wonder if it was the same people?
