e-Begging? Be careful with that

Well, today, as I just got on Skype, something really funny happened. And when I mean funny, I mean not so funny.
I've seen people doing this a lot, especially on deviantART. It's truly annoying. Now I understand that the world crisis is hitting you hard, but it's not a reason for you to beg others to help you with money. People you don't know that well, and people you don't even know. What the Hell is that? There's no respect in that.
What happened is that a friend of mine (former friend of mine, now, actually) asked me for help in something, and I asked what he wanted. And he wanted me to help him pay for a character being auctioned here on Fur Affinity. He sent me the link to the auction and it started at $35. He placed $40, without even having enough money for so.
So this guy (I'm not telling his name, because I don't want people to attack him) expects people to pay the placed money he wants, just to get a character.
This is a message for you, people who start auctions: You don't recognize this. most of the times. Some people go out of their way to ask others or do worse, to get money to win the auctioned item. This is like if someone's messing with your auctions. While others have enough money to pay, there's one person or two who bid better, yet don't have what he or she bid.
As for beggars: Hey, get a job, man. I have to help my family with my money. There are many poor people around the world. The world doesn't revolve around you. There are people who suffer more in financial ways than you do, and you are selfish enough to ask others for money.

Being an e-beggar is only gonna cause some problems, up to the point where it can be controversial. Almost as bad as being a scammer as what ZilianOP did to all his fans, by faking a disability to get 20,000 U.S. dollars. What a loser. :/
ReviewTechUSA is heard to be another one of those e-beggars where he begs his fans to give him money to buy a camera or something, but then he sells the camera for cash. Like, seriously? That's such a low blow.
