Beggars are inventing new technological methods in Saudi Arabia
(MENAFN) Saudi Arabia’s beggars are getting more professional and technological in begging by social media networks that stretch their net and make the process easy to make, according to Arab Times.
Mamdouh Qassim, a banker, said: “With many Saudi businessmen and authorities available on different social media platforms, we find people asking them for help in various forms. However, in the last couple of days, they have been asking for Eid gift money. They also ask princes to help them pay rent and other bills. Most of these people are ignored or blocked but some princes actually reply and solve their problems.”
They also cadge jobs in addition to money. Saeed Al-Shareif, a businessman, commented: “When you look into authorities’ twitter accounts, you will find people sending messages with complaints about unemployment and demanding jobs. I once offered a job to one of them, but he declined it. This shows that their demands are not genuine and they only want to grab attention and make noise for nothing.”
