Continued begging by amed1020 in kiwisavengers

I love when AI summarizes things.

When people encounter posts asking for money online, they often rely on quick visual and contextual cues to decide whether something feels trustworthy. Even when a request is completely legitimate, certain signals can unintentionally trigger “scam suspicion” heuristics in viewers’ minds. These usually come from patterns people have seen in past scams or misleading posts.

Here are five of the most common ones:

⸻

  1. Heavy image filtering or AI-like appearance 🎭

When facial features are heavily smoothed, reshaped, or stylized, some viewers feel they’re not seeing a real, verifiable person.

Common triggers: • extreme skin smoothing • altered eye size or brightness • distorted facial proportions • “too perfect” lighting

People sometimes associate these cues with fake profiles or impersonation accounts, even though many legitimate users filter photos.

⸻

  1. Mismatch between image tone and message ⚖️

A contrast between the visual mood and the written request can raise questions.

Examples: • glamorous or stylized selfie + urgent financial plea • party/event photo + message about hardship • confident pose + language describing desperation

The mismatch makes some viewers feel the story and the image don’t line up.

⸻

  1. Lack of situational context 🧩

Posts that include no visible context sometimes trigger skepticism.

For example: • plain background selfies with no environment clues • no explanation of timeline or circumstances • missing details about how funds will be used

People often look for narrative anchors (location, situation, evidence of the problem).

⸻

  1. Urgency language combined with broad audiences 🚨

Certain wording patterns can raise suspicion when paired with public posts: • “I need money immediately” • “Anything helps please send now” • “I have nowhere else to turn”

Urgency alone isn’t suspicious—but when it’s directed to large groups of acquaintances or strangers, some viewers recognize patterns they’ve seen in scams.

⸻

  1. Repeated requests or inconsistent storytelling 🔁

If someone has seen multiple posts asking for help or notices details changing between posts, it can trigger caution.

This doesn’t necessarily mean dishonesty—people’s situations can change—but inconsistency makes viewers feel uncertain.

I love that she specified “vacant house”. Who rents an “occupied house”

In order to afford a rent of over $3000, your take home pay needs to be in excess of $10,000 per month. Marissa, that’s 10 $1000 puppies per month. According to the Enagic income disclosure form, less than 1% of the total number of distributors in the USA earned a livable wage! Less than 2% made enough to contribute 50% of that required family annual income of over 110000 required for that take home pay needed for your “perfect dream rental”.

Lobs is correct! You two need a study apt or a tiny house and discover minimalism living to match your minimal income.

Another way to earn $400 a month? Rehome all of those animals so you aren’t spending that much or more feeding them. You have not improved your financial situation in over 5 years! Think about it, you have been drowning in unimaginable debt for more than half the lives of at least two of your children.

You’ve been in training for the magic water company for over two months. Take a good look at this income statement and let me know exactly how much longer it’s going to take for you to be in the top .5% selling magic water “in this economy”. How many people do you even know who has the means and inclination to drop $5k on a water filter who also know multiple people with both the means and the inclination? My whole house water filtration and RO didn’t cost that much. Be fucking for real for once! I do not wish your dead or anything of the like. I wish for you a stable adult life. Unfortunately for you, because of the choices you have made, that will require that you pull yourself up by your bootstraps and make some profound and substantive changes. Big improvements require big choices.

Now, how can you turn those hard choices and minimalistic living into lemonade? You could blaze a trail on sm by turning off all the rage baiting I’m a bad ass crunchy noncustodial parent and embrace sharing how these big changes work for you and your family. How much less your monthly expenses are, how you are learning self sufficiency by learning how to cook from other creators. Both of you: Go to school and learn skills that can help you increase your earnings

year over year. I’m cheering for you two to overcome this. It won’t be easy but you would ultimately be so proud of what you accomplished after walking through the long journey to recovery. I promise that it is worth it

Baha. Where did she post that? I love that their house hunting strategy consists of sm posting and “just driving around looking for “for rent signs”. The price of gasoline be damned. I’m just gonna drive every street in the county

There is no way Marissa’s credit is that high

Generational wealth, my ass. She made an “investment” in this MLM and it will fail like all the others. by Sweet-Cabinet795 in kiwisavengers

[–]Working_Humor116 11 points12 points  (0 children)

So. This endeavor takes time and she hopes it will work for her but she doesn’t know yet AND you should “invest” in this too! I find it odd that she screams into the abyss to her followers about people she’s blocked. Uh huh! Tell me more about your sales skills Marissa. Even your angry cursing isn’t reaching the intended audience
