Then they have to transfer thru HK and don have enough money, so if I could lend them and if I gave them my passport number and address, they would send the money back..... Yea right!!!

Not trying to make sweeping statements lah.... but lets be careful lah...
I got that in pudong, beijing and macau airport. Apparently they target travellers who are alone. First time it happened, I said I've 200rmb if they want. This lady got a little tongue tied (not skillful enough uh) then ask for 1000rmb. Will transfer to me when she reach beijing or whatever. Dress very well, pushing a whole cart of luggage and speak both mandarin and english quite well. Again it all about the appearance and their 'story'. You can almost sit there and pay them to tell their story, I dun mind even if they charge per incense. haha...
