They only accept food with the alms bowl and strictly no cash whatsoever. They have to eat just a meal a day before noon. Those that who 'beg' for money and in the afternoon are the bogus monks out to seek sympathy on innocent and ignorant people.

But most people would shun them due to the bad publicity of imposers collecting cash alms . I’ve seen monks going around the neighbourhood market here but singly not in a group.

Nowadays we see so many 'monks' asking for money in the streets, the reputation is being tarnished. I think this is a good way to create awareness among the public.
