Secret code found in WhatsApp beta - adds support to payment transactions

article published on 11 August, 2017

Mobile payments have been the de facto method of making person-to-person payments in developing countries for more than a decade now - and the rest of the world is catching up, it seems.

Hello yeah most beggars do have mobile phones, or cars, and some trailers. In my area in California they use their kids or pets as props to get more money out of us. It is so sad and pathetic as they make it harder for the real people that need it, that more difficult for people to believe they need help.

About a year ago these two guys were sitting on the ground next to the Subway entrance door and asked me for money, I never carry cash. So I decided to buy them both their own Footlong sandwich, Chips, and Soda.

They were both surprised and happy and than began to ate their food immediately. Yeah it cost me more money than just handing them a dollar and they probably preferred cash, but at least they can't pocket the money for some type of scam and got a good lunch out of it. ;-)
