This probably the same couple with baby I saw at the BJ's parking lot off Route 110 in Farmingdale this past Friday evening.

Saw them the other day. I found it funny because they clearly had nicer clothes than me and the wife.

yes, you are correct. I just keep seeing them everywhere and with different children each time. It's shocking to see how much money people donate them in a single hour. I hope this gets out to the press and they are stopped.

This is the same family I've seen outside the back entrance to Costco in Holbrook and outside of Sonoma Grill lately as well

Someone else on this thread made an observation which is repeated in this article: the family changes. Also echoed in this article is to call the SCPD non emergency number and CPS.

If you have a FB page the link is worth sharing there.

The picture of this family that you posted is the same exact one I saw in the East Islip shopping center back in July. I did not give them anything. I mean if you are that poor how can you afford to travel from place to place? Obvious scammers.
