Fake Beggar in Indonesia
In Indonesia, many phenomena about some beggars faking their actual wealth condition. They are actualy a rich people that will pretend to be homeless, using makeup to look shabby, wearing torn clothes, and even faking having a disability in purpose to get big money easily.
Their income in a month could be more than 10 million Rupiah ($600) or even hundreds of million ($6000) for only becoming a fake beggar. That amount of money was so big in Indonesia, reflecting to Indonesian minimum wage regional in 2023 at ranges of 2-4 million Rupiahs (130-270$).
In many cases of fake beggars that caught by the police, showing their actual life condition was super rich, having a very big house, many expensive properties, living so glamorous, and even in some cases their family member supporting each other to become a fake beggar and they're already doing it for years.
This phenomenon hopefully aware us, if we want to help people, better to have at least a little investigation and observation, do an intensive approach, or just do it into a trusted institution.
