fake disabled

Recently I went to Melecca. Something caught my eyes was that there was a man crawling on the floor with the impression that he is a disabled person with legs problem. He wore a big cardboard with some wordings. I did not get to read clearly what it wrote. The man was like holding a metal tin, perhaps it contains money given by passerby. After a while when I next pass by the area again, this time I saw the man, able to sit up and he stood up and cross the road..... I was kind of surprised, that his disabilities were fake. It was this kind of act that many people would not really give them money. It would seems that such people looking for easy money would be everywhere preying on the kind people around.
