Pregnant beggar filmed driving off in $35,000 MERCEDES is caught AGAIN BEGGING

A Team10 story about a pregnant woman begging for money with a young boy at her feet -- a woman who then got into a Mercedes-Benz and drove off laughing -- has gone viral. (Read is HERE)

And now it appears she was spotted in another area begging for money.

This all started when a 10News viewer, Melissa Smith, took photos of a pregnant beggar and a little boy panhandling in Bonita. She said the woman was sometimes joined on the weekends by a man. She snapped a photo of him driving a Mercedes.

Team10 Troubleshooter Cristin Severance shed light on what Smith had seen in a piece that quickly went viral not only here in San Diego, but across the nation and around the world. As of Tuesday evening, over 1 million people had seen the story from the 10News Facebook page alone. You can watch our original story below (mobile users click here):

Another 10News viewer, Rebecca Smith, contacted us after she saw the story and said she had seen the family begging at the Vons on Regents Road in University City.

“Yeah, I just thought it was interesting that they were out here in a completely different area,” Rebecca Smith said. She contacted 10News and then went to the Vons store.

“They didn't say much," she said. "He was holding the sign."

The woman, who this time was carrying a baby, looked like the same woman in our previous story - she was carrying a similar purse, was wearing similar shoes and had a little boy with her. A man who was with them also appeared to be the same man spotted driving the Mercedes.

10News Reporter Emily Valdez asked the man and woman where their car was, in Spanish.

The man said, in Spanish, “What Mercedes?”

The man and woman then spoke to each other in a different language before walking away. We followed them to see what type of vehicle they were heading to. It wasn't a Mercedes, but a minivan with dealer plates. The man and woman got into the minivan and sped off without putting the children in car seats.

“I just find it sad that people would go to this extreme,” Rebecca Smith said.

We don't know why they are begging for money, but what we do know by the viral 10News story that this is raising eyebrows.

Now in case you're wondering if this was actually the same woman, we sent images from both instances (the photos that Melissa Smith initially took that prompted our original story and an image of the woman we encountered on Tuesday) to a forensics expert.

According to Kent Gibson with Forensic Audio, the face comparison indicated a 79.7 percent match. He said anything above 50 percent is a pretty safe bet it's the same person.

The shoes that the woman on the left is wearing appear to be exactly the same as those on the right

It appears to also be the same boy pictured in both these images - an opinion shared by the facial recognition expert
