Not really. I mean sure, there are probably cases of genuine need but like another anon said, I don't have any way of verifying the truth on my own so I'm disinclined to just hand out money even for a sad story. Most of the time the begging seems to come from people who don't deserve a handout. Oh, you adopted a cat and now you can't pay for its food? Not emergency medical care mind you, but the basics. I'm sorry for your cat, but you can't afford to own a cat and shouldn't have adopted it. Oh, you really, really want to go to a con? Get a job and save up for it.

The worst one I've seen is from someone who actually had a contract with a publisher and couldn't deliver the books she was contracted to deliver. So now she wanted people to pay her bills and mortgage (in a nice house in an expensive part of town which she TOTALLY NEEDED FOR REASONS) while she wrote the books she'd already been paid to write. And people actually gave this ridiculous woman money.
