Scamming has become so pervasive, it's just about the 'normal' way of doing business these days! And I'm sure you couldn't resist beguiling eyes with six kids...

Offer the woman in the car park some groceries and watch her run.

Well I feel you are very kind hearted, TAPS so I think it's the woman
with six kids..
Such a shame the number of scammers out there targeting older folks. My Dear Mother has received the tax call several times and she does as instructed; (by the local police) simply hangs up but it does get really annoying. I just read that seventy people have been arrested in Mumbai for the tax fraud operation so hopefully the calls will stop.

Well I guess the woman in the car park doesn't want a direct debit. So like me you would probably give her a little.

I hate con artists. Detest them, because of course I've been dumb
enough to fall for sob stories a time or two. These days when they call and insist I could sent them "a very minimal" $15 for (fill in the blank) they can't believe it when I say I've already donated all I can afford, and no. Nor do they realize I took note of their number on the caller ID, and next time I won't pick up.

I would guess the woman in the parking lot, by sheer use of deductive reasoning! Or perhaps, none of them! Scammers, there ought to be a law...
