Modern Day Pardoner

There are a few examples of a modern day pardoner. One is a fortune teller. That is someone who claims to be able to see the future, when in actuality they are taking advantage of people while they are down. Fortune tellers often find people who are easily misguided and somewhat unsure of themselves. They promise these somewhat insecure people all the things they desire. They give them false hopes and dreams while raping them of their worldly possessions. Another example of a modern day pardoner is someone who pretends to be poor but really isn't. They beg for money and swear that they are in deep need, when in reality they are scamming from unknowing victims. I know many people who have been robbed by these thieves and as a result they vow to never give money to a homeless person. So not only are these frauds stealing from innocent people but they are also taking away the trust that people have when they give money to peoplewho are actually homeless.
