Are the authorities actually talking about real beggars, or are they referring to the numerous scammers who pretend to be mute and collect money for their fake charitable organisations; or the 'gold ring' scammers; or 'three card monty' card sharks; or any number of other scammers?

I had no trouble at all with homeless beggars during my 10 night stay in Paris last year, but the scammers were a real pain in the neck.
