Oh my god. I am terribly sorry for your unfortunate experiences! You must have trouble sleeping at night at times...
I can only suggest something as simple as telling them to leave politely, such as "no thank you." You could also say "I don't want to be involved in any trouble" or "please respect me and leave me alone" when they continue annyoing you. Beggars will not change, so I can only advise you to really observe and get used to the beahviours of other cultures so that you can confidently do the stuff that they and not look like a foreginer. It is a real shame how foreigners are taken advantage of.
If there are any questions you have about stuff that I have fixed for you, please don't hesitate to comment! I will try my best to help you out further (:
