To uncover the truth, Bigfish decided to use a different phone number and posed as a potential donor who had been deeply moved by the man's story and wanted to contribute food items.
"The guy doesn't have any wife or kids. He refused to answer my calls completely, so I had to use a different number and posed as a donor who's been touched by his story and would like to donate some foodstuff," Bigfish explained.
