The only time a beggar tried that with me, I just looked him straight in the eye and told him, "get lost."
He did. I wasn't carrying at the time. But I have no doubt he would have ended up on the blacktop in short order if he would have persisted.
Probably saved him some damage.
I think these leeches will try almost any approach if their consciousness is altered enough. They count too much on the forbearance of strangers.
