FeatheredWings...I always think that when I buy someone food, or give someone money who is standing on the roadside that they could be scamming me. But your heart is in the right place and the man very well could have just been hungry. One day I saw a raggedy man with a shopping basket right near the gas pumps at WalMart. He just suddenly sat down like he couldn't go another step - didn't have a sign. So, I turned around and went back and told him I was about to cross the street and get a meal from KFC. I asked him if he was hungry and would he like something and his face lit up like VEGAS! He said he was very hungry and he would be ever so grateful for a meal. I then asked him if he wanted white or dark meat and he said white. Then, guess what happened to me!!! I go over to KFC and tell the young lady at the pick-up window that I was sad to see someone so hungry in this country and that I was taking a homeless man something to eat. She only charged me for MY meal, not his, so I didn't spend a penny giving that gentleman a meal. Another time, I had no money, and a man was standing on the road with a sign that said - UNEMPLOYED - NEED A JOB! He was a mess, too, but as the light turned green and traffic started to flow, I slowed and threw a WalMart gift card out the window and hollered - THIRTY SOMETHING DOLLARS ON THAT!!! I saw him bend over and pick it up and I felt like a million bucks! I have to tell you I only make around $20,000 a year, and I am alone financially except for that. But any time I ever went out of my way to help someone, it made me feel like I was making a difference. So, it's not whether you were scammed or not...you did the right thing. Don't cry-be happy that you did something for someone..never doubt that kindness is right. And your intention was to be kind.
