Use of QR codes by beggars sort of a giveaway

SOME BEGGARS in Jinan, East China's Shandong province, use two-dimensional quick response codes so those passersby willing to give them money can directly transfer money to their account by means of their smartphones. Beijing News comments:

It is an open secret that begging is an industry now. Many beggars only accept large notes, and refuse food.

In fact, begging is one of the oldest trades in human society, but it is more controversial today with beggars embracing technology.
