Rule of thumb is when someone on the streets asks you more than directions you keep walking

"Never take candy from strangers" is the rule of thumb.

[hupego]

The rule, just don’t accept or buy anything from someone in the streets. Unless you pay for it in cash !! Exact amount or small bill

Bro, I would never give a stranger my phone

Definitely had a few folks try this when I was last in NYC. Mostly near times square but also in Brooklyn too.

I was just in Times Square a couple days ago. This lady came up to me and said her name was candy and I said I’m good I don’t want any candy. Stay safe out there y’all.

I hate it when store clerks grab your phone if they want to double check a coupon or something. Especially if they walk any distance away from you. I don’t care if you are trustworthy among your friends, it’s just bad etiquette nowadays. It’s less common now but just last week happened to us.

Thank you so much for this information.

I always just say I came home from prison 3 days ago, so I have nothing. And everyone fully respects that .

[dasaini]

Someone asking for your phone to call someone can do the same

Can you help me with or do a video on best way to see the Macys Parade. What are all the options? What do you like best.?

[realdrysoda]

I literally encountered 5 different groups of kids on the subway trying to sell candy when I went to NYC last month

[MTTYN]

Also, the various QR codes might be a virus too don't be so keen on scanning any of those in the time square either! it's wild in these times man!

You give anyone (even your kids) your phone, you deserve what's coming to you.

“If you have cash you will just buy the candy” No I won’t 😂!
