Does cyber begging really work for those who need financial help for a genuine cause?

A brief history of Cyber begging

Definition of Cyber begging: Cyber begging or Internet begging is the online version of traditional begging. At Internet panhandling, you can ask a stranger for money to meet basic needs such as food, shelter, and healthcare or even you can ask for money to pay your debt. Cyber begging is totally different from street begging, and it can be practiced anonymously. So, you can protect your identity and dignity while begging money via Cyber-begging.

During the early age of the internet, cyber-begging or internet-begging was evident in the form of individual advertisements for help on local bulletin board systems. In 2002, cyber-begging gained famous and momentum when Karyn Bosnak started her SaveKaryn.com as an attempt to have the online help pay her credit card debt. Her SaveKaryn.com was probably the first cyber begging site to gain wide exposure and it later became a sample for many to follow.

How does cyber begging work?

Cyber begging works via donation through PayPal. Cyber-begging websites list down the people who are in need of financial help. If you are in trouble, you have to pen down a story first and feature it on the cyber begging sites. When your stories are sent, ads are created, and then your ads are displayed on other internet-begging sites as well. One of the cyber-begging sites is Begslist.com

In the next time, all of your ads will be posted on social networking and poker sites as well. So, your stories will be read by many people. If your story has genuinely touched people, they will definitely make a contribution. This part is really tricky for us. So, it may also be possible that you may not receive any contribution from the people at all.

A real successful Cyber beggar

Karyn Bosnak was a woman, and she was able to pay off her $20,000 credit card debt via Cyber begging. She started SaveKaryn.com as an attempt to have the online help pay her credit card debt. She wrote on her website:"Please help me pay my debt. I am nice. I am cheery. I didn't hurt anyone by spending too much money. I was actually helping out the economy. If you help me, then someday someone might help you when you need it."

Why you should try Cyber begging?

If you are in financial trouble, you have the right to request for financial help. You have also the right to protect your identity and self-esteem. Cyber-begging is 100% legal and ethical for those who need financial help for a genuine cause. So, there is nothing to be ashamed of to ask individuals for financial help. So, if you are facing fatal financial trouble, you should try Cyber begging today.

Begslist Inc. Announces Launch of New Website Overhaul Redesign

Begslist, a unique resource that allows online begging and crowdfunding, announces the launch of its new redesigned website, www.begslist.com.

CHICAGO, August 20, 2015 -- Every year, free cyber begging or crowdfunding has been a very popular way for people to raise money for causes or personal issues that they need help with. Begslist.com is a cyber begging and crowdfunding online platform that has been around for quite some time. It’s another way for people to beg for money online instead of facing strangers or even ones you know to ask them for money thus reducing the blow to your pride or further embarrassment revealing to them that you are down on your luck and have to beg for help.

Begslist cyber begging is a way to create your own personal free online donation website where you can save your dignity by asking your family, friends, and strangers for money online without doing it face-to-face. Due to the popularity of this free cyber begging website and all the feedback given throughout the past couple years from the Begslist Community, Begslist announces the launch of its redesigned website, https://www.begslist.com

Begslist cyber begging allows for cleaner design, updated look and feel, easier navigation, provides enhanced functionality, and encourages visitors to not only post a beg, but also increased the sharing tools on the website where sharing begging pages is much easier with more social sharing buttons located on the left side as well as on each campaign page. Begslist cyber begging is also working on a non-profit status, so it has changed its URL from Begslist.org to Begslist.com until the founder of the website is able to achieve non-profit status. This will help charities that post on the website, so that their cyber begging donations are tax deductible.

The new Begslist cyber begging website has adapted to the times by having a layout in a crowdfunding like format. Keeping up with the times and adapting to today’s world makes Begslist stand out among the other cyber begging websites that still have that 90s looking feel to them.

Begslist.com cyber begging efforts will continue to evolve so that current and future people begging for help can have free access to ask for help and also view resources that could help them with their unwanted situations. Begslist expects to continue to raise the bar in with trying to help people who are begging through the use of the Internet.

About Begslist

Since 2007, Begslist has tried to keep the reputation of establishing itself as free cyber begging website that allows access to anyone who needs help as compared to a paid cyberbegging (pay-to-post) website by offering users FREE postings to ask for help.

Cyber begging or Internet begging is the online version of traditional begging or panhandling where people can ask strangers for money, food, clothing, or shelter. Begging online has a clear advantage to street begging or panhandling where it can be done with relative anonymity, thus eliminating or reducing the embarrassment or shame that associated with begging in public. Begslist is a free way to ask for donations online, maintain privacy, and protect one's pride when begging for help. Now with the recent United States of America JOBS Act, crowdfunding has become a new stable on Begslist's website where people or companies can ask for donations online.

Begslist continues to raise the bar in with trying to help people who are begging or crowdfunding through the use of the Internet and protect its users from scams or spam. When launching cyber begging or crowdfunding campaign, Begslist encourages users to use its PayPal payment platform to receive secured money. If someone contacts you to offer donations such as through wire transfers, money orders, or gives out their phone number asking you to text or call them, please refuse. If they really want to help, be safe and only accept donations through the Begslist PayPal payment platform. Begslist is not responsible if you accept payments other than Begslist’s PayPal payment system.

BEGSLIST.ORG SEEKS HELP FOR THE NEEDY DURING THE HOLIDAY SEASON

With the holidays fast approaching, many people are doing their shopping online - but the Internet is also a very popular place for people in need asking for a handout on Begslist.org.

There are thousands of pleas for help on Begslist.org, an online donation website, which is dedicated to helping people in need through online begging via the Internet. Most of us this year will be enjoying a wonderful holiday dinner with our friends and family, but for millions of families across the country, Christmas will be like any other day; a struggle to make ends meet.

"We are a family of 9, and my husband lost his job, so we didn't have Christmas last year. This year we were lucky enough to find a place to live, but no money for Christmas..."

"I am a single mother of six and I am seeking help to have a Christmas with my family. I have been laid off from work and I experienced as a child not having many Christmases, but I don't want that for my kids..."

Others post stories asking for help, not for themselves but for others in need. Charities, organizations or everyday people just wanting online donations for various causes will try begging on Begslist.org to help others.

"Help the Children of Chicago - My deepest wishes for the spirit of Christ and Christmas. Can you help the needy children this season with a small donation, any amount.. because it the thought that counts. It's better to give than to receive as our children are the future and needy families need help."

"This is a Memorial to my brother who died of Cancer in 2006. We wish to aid in the support of Community Hospice groups everywhere. Hospice is currently undergoing a financial hard time and needs our help. Hospice does a job that really helps. Take it from one who knows what they do. During my brother's final time, they provided many services that we the family could not."

Panhandling Decreases Downtown, Moves to Other Parts of Yakima

YAKIMA - KIMA is following up on the panhandling issue in Yakima. Last year, new laws were passed banning aggressive begging and setting fines for violators. You told us the problem has gotten much better downtown, where we previously reported it was the worst. But police said panhandling hasn't gone away here in Yakima, it's just moved. "They were pretty aggressive,” said Matt Klaus with the Committee for Downtown Yakima. “There were a few that were really well known here."

"They would follow you to your car and wait at your window,” said downtown worker, Barnaby Lang. “There were a lot of scared people."

Employees and shoppers in downtown Yakima said just a year ago, they were frequently approached by panhandlers. That’s not the case anymore. They told Action News they haven't seen someone begging for money in months.

"It's nice to be out here,” Lang said. “It feels safer coming to and from work."

But the same can’t necessarily be said in other parts of town. YPD said the problem hasn't gone away, it’s just moved to places like 40th and Fruitvale and First and Nob Hill. 

"It doesn't matter what day of the year it is, rain or snow, sometimes there's even three (panhandling,)” said Maria Madrigal. 

Police said the issue will likely never go away completely, but tighter regulations have helped curb the pushy behavior. KIMA was told simply asking for money is legal, but people are being ticketed for stepping into the road.

"It starts becoming a crime when they intimidate people into giving them something,” said Sgt. Lloyd George. 

And that something they may or may not get from the public likely won't come close to covering the $56 ticket for panhandling.

Police said a good chuck of panhandlers are not from Yakima, and just passing through the area.
