Try roma gypsies in eastern europe (not generalized to all people of romani descent, just those who make a living as pickpockets and thieves). I doubt that there are more aggressive panhandlers anywhere, and the thing that makes them a little scary is the fact that regardless of whether they're men, women or children, they'd not think twice about robbing you if they think you're worth it and they can take you. And they're so numerous: often approaching you in groups of as many as a dozen.
