This experiment is BADLY flawed and proves nothing.
Most people aren't going to 'claim their free money' for the same reason very few people click those "MILLIONTH VISITOR! CLICK HERE TO CLAIM YOUR FREE IPOD/XBOX/HDTV" pop-ups on the net.
Put simply, most people are going to assume that this 'free money offer' is just some form of marketing.
Most people who read the sign probably assumed they'd ask for their free money...then get a fifteen minute sales pitch and a 'five pounds off' voucher for some local business.
As for the people who DID ask for their money and actually expected to get real money... Those people are more than likely the same ones that send their life savings to that poor Nigerian businessman who needs help getting a hundred billion dollars out of the country
