I've always tried to be that kind of person. To help someone in need if I can.

However, these days so many people are not trustworthy it's hardly safe anymore to lend a helping hand.

See someone broke down on the side of the road and pull over to help. Forget it.
Now people actually FAKE being broke down and rob the good Samaritans.

Someone's walking with a gas can and asks for a few dollars to get gas for their car. Forget it. Their car is fine.
It's just a scam to get beer or drug money.

Someone knocks on your door saying they have been in a car wreck and need help or to use the phone. Forget it.
It's just their plan for a home invasion robbery.

There was a time when you could safely do all those but not today.
You really need to size up and access the situation before making your next move.
Who does it hurt the most. The people who really needed the help.
