Facebook user Jhenilyne Atienza now regrets sharing the photo of a German beggar. She posted the man’s photos to gather help from netizens so that the man could go home to his family. The man’s right leg was enlarged, showing that he was suffering from a rare disease. Atienza felt heartbroken after seeing the man, and so she shared the photo for people to help him in any way they can. Now, when she knew the truth behind the man, she regretted having to share his picture.
Apparently, the man was begging as a scam. Benjamin Holst (his real name) was actually living like a rich man, staying at hotels, bar-hopping at night—from the money he begs off innocent people! Holst was purportedly deported from Thailand after he did the same to the people there. He then tried his luck in the Philippines.
According to his friend’s comments on his Facebook, he has now been reported to the German embassy and will be possibly deported again. Hopefully he does not try other countries again, and leech money off people who worked hard for their earnings.
