Overheard two guys on the subway planning to scam tourists near the art museum

Honestly, I was just minding my business on the 6 train last night when I caught these two dudes talking about fake charity sign-up sheets. They said they camp out near the entrance of the Philly Art Museum and ask folks for $5 donations to a fake youth program. I got off at the next stop but it stuck with me all day. Has anyone else seen this happening around Center City?

Nah, calling it "smart" is giving them way too much credit. Scamming people who are just trying to enjoy a day out is weak, not clever.

That's actually kinda smart in a messed up way.
