So I was at the Train station waiting to go home, and a man 'Ghanaian' came to ask me for money, giving some crack story that he just arrived in the country, He is short of money, he needs to take a coach to 'Norrich' he also gave some unnecessary history.
Ok, i was torn between my feelings of empathy and Logic, Logic won though. I just thought, 'Scam', but then i didn't have cash on me and i told him. He then goes on to say 'I don't mean to be rude, but there is ATM' The cheeky beggar!
I didn't know whether to laugh or to give him some tongue lashing, so i just meekily said 'Yeh i know, but i don't want to go there' and he shuffled away.
Really glad i didn't give him anything.

A similar guy tried to pull the same scam on me on two separate occasions (a year apart) at a train station. I can't remember if he was Ghanaian or Nigerian. The first time around I was young and naive and engaged him in conversation...told him I didn't have any cash on me and he also told he to go to an ATM. I had to hold back an "Oh no he didn't?!". Second time, I just walked on. Pity for him he feels the need to do this.
