Last Saturday afternoon, on his way towards Stockholm to meet a friend, a young man happen to take the local train as his transportation method. A little over the halfway through to his destination, a (probably) recent immigrated man entered the train.
The newly immigrated man, who we know nothing about, except the information presented to us by the young man, began giving out cards/fliers on every seat inside that train wagon.
Normally people ignore this kind of attempts of earning money says the young man, but that day was unlike any other.
Most of the time, people who do this kind of things, give out the same and exact fliers with the same similar type of writings in them, “My son/daughter/wife/brother/sister/father/mother needs operation, but I don’t have that kind of money, will you please help me with contributing a small amount? Thank you.”
This time, it was however, like mentioned earlier, a bit special. The man who handed out these “fliers”, also included not only an original text, but also a picture of him and his own daughter, topless. Presumably to make the story more believable.
“When I first laid my eye upon this, I couldn’t believe it, of course I just had to take a picture, as I just couldn’t take the flier with me, those who send these kinds of cards out, all want them back.
A while later, I began seeing how people tried to get an good look at me, like if I had just committed an horrible crime right in front of their very own eyes. No questions asked to the man with his daughters breast all out for the world to see, but to the one person who instead of ignoring the man, choose to take a picture of the card.”
“Hi! Please help me by contributing money as my daughter needs (hue) skin transplant. It is impossibly for me to do this without your help. Thank you very much for the assistance!”
Whoever helped him out with that card, really needed to double check for spelling errors.
This is not uncommon in Sweden, a lot of immigrants does it, but so few actually make more than $6 a day. Another source told us that, “Most of these people try to make money this way, while the other working person is out working. Many of them copy each other, giving out cards with the same writings in hope of getting some extra money.”
