They just have to work with less steem that's all. You wouldn't believe the scams people do on here. It was one of the first things I questioned after a series of post from some group in Venezuela. They claimed to be helping orphanages/schools with their steem. The funny part was the food they took pictures of was stacked up on tables outside like you'd see in an outside marketplace. If you were a informed news blogger you were aware of the accusations that food was being taken away from those who it was intended for shipped there by charities and were being sold for top price out on the street. Then I questioned with prices so high there how were they even able to print so many steem banners and hang them up and why did all the boxes of shipped goods have steem copied logo on paper attached to them. I also questioned why these schools were so well equipped with items to make things, like materials to make underwear and sell them or arts and crafts for the kids to do. It reeked of what was often depicted in the press, food/items taken from those intended and distributed and sold in better areas of Venezuela. As soon as I started questioning it he took some of the pictures down. Then a few weeks later a guy who talked me into coming on here I seen was doing a fund raiser for him to raise money for computers in those schools, his thought was if the people and students at the schools could blog on steemit they could make money including enough to pay for internet access. I tried to warn him it wasn't going to end up that way but he wanted to have faith it'd turn out differently, there's nothing wrong with that. He did meet his goal for the fundraiser, bless his heart, but what he got in return was a sorry that what was suppose to be enough turn out it was't but they'd put the money to good use. So yeah looks can be deceiving and in this case it's not the end of the road for them they just have to work with less money.
Speaking of scams did you see my last post? Invest in a couple sex dolls and you may have it made....as long as my crafty eye doesn't happen along....lol.
I did add somebody from Venezuela to my Facebook. She wasn't really begging for money though.
Did you go to the Instagram accounts?
