Years ago I was homeless for a week. People would ask me to work off the books often. They all refused to pay.

One guy had me move furniture for 6 hours, handed me a paper bag. He hopped in his truck and left. I actually thought there was money in the bag, nope. Two bean sandwiches.

After the work was done, they would say things like "you're all on food stamps and I pay for those so I've paid you". I wasn't on food stamps.

Most people see the homeless as easy prey.
