I live in an area where the drug abuse is so freaking sad on top of all the opportunity liars. For weeks he has been sitting at the garbage can at my job with a sign saying "veteran need help." Im the manager I just ask him to put the sign away it away but I'm not making him leave but I am not allowed to have anyone at the door asking for anything. I've been repeating myself for weeks every time I see him. Yesterday he was there again with the sign and I told him I'm feeling disrespected that in explaining the same thing to him every time. Then I asked him if he's really a veteran or just some guy with a sign. He's from the marine Corp medically discharged for the refuse of medication because he rather choose the alternative of talk therapy because he has had friends die in explosions 3 times in bagdad. I told him with genuine understanding that I really thank him for his service referencing standing up for his medical decision. I asked him why he is being treated so bad because it's cold outside and he's sitting by a trash can wearing a sheet. He said that they aren't treating him so bad and then he realized and told me that he's been on a 90 day housing waiting list but it's been over 90 days. I told him what I've been going through working a store with a pharmacy and what's gone on with my medical descion. Then I let him know that obviously there is no infiltration happening because obviously that would be crazy and reminded him that I am a civilian. I told him I wish there was more that I could do for him but he told me I'm doing very much and thanked me. I can't stop thinking about this guy. It makes me so freaking sad. All I can do is hope that the conversation I had with him gave him his hope boost.
I also did tell him I do feel bad I keep getting on him about the sign but he reassured me he understood that I just do what I have to do at my job.
Ok, but please, do not take things at word value, especially when it comes to Veterans, it is 100% Honorable to ask for some sort of credentials, especially a DD-214, those who earned them will be more than happy to let you read about our Awards that are written on them, and those who don't have one, or got Dishonorables will shy away or come up with a ton of excuses as to why they don't have one......
Also, on the same note, those of us who don't immediately carry one, usually carry a VA Card, they are quite distinct, ""pretty"" is the word I used the first time I received mine.....
Thank you. This is really good knowledge to know. He already realized the only thing I was willing to provide to him was a conversation but this is definitely valuable knowledge I might be able to use in the future.
Too happy to help....

I have another question that maybe you would know. Someone from Ghana found me on the internet and is talking to me but very vague. They are aware I'm suspicious they are an operative sent to talk to me. I'm only a civilian. But when I asked them to share their oppinion on something all they said that I was right and when I asked them to elaborate they said they can't. So I asked them if they will get introuble with whoever authorities over them if they do and all they said was yes. Then I asked if they will kill them and they answered can't answer. So my question is hypothetically speaking if you would think this was an operative from the internet who was sent to talk to me or would it be someone asking for help or would you just think I'm way into my imagination?
First off, drop that foul Fool like a hot potato....
Second, block them before they start asking for your specifics, like Bank account Numbers, Addresses, Credit Card Numbers etc....
Those people are Confidence Artists, and although many of those Con Artists really sck at it, there are some who are really good at it, and there is nothing any Law Agency, not even Interpol, can DO about it, and there isn't a Court in the world with Juris enough to Convict them....
I have dealt with a few, and even saved one Company about 2 Million Dollars by informing the FBI, and then paying along, while informing the Target Company.....
Just Block that clown.....
