Potentially Disgusting Scam - Hope It's Not True! @groovy #introduceyourself

A potential extremely manipulative scam that may profit $3,965.

My flags were raised with the verification picture with the child.

Running that picture through https://imageedited.com, the pixel information that was returned was rather suspicious.

Though I understand that doesn't necessarily prove any deceptive photo manipulation.

As a result I politely asked you to provide evidence, in the form of a short spoken video. I gave you 4 hours to provide proof, and nothing.

I hope this post will attract your attention and will incite you to provide greater evidence, but for now it appears as though you use the disability of a child to emotionally manipulate the community into upvoting your post, and as though you are waiting for the payout, hence your silence.

If true, not only is this underhand, but pretty base.

This is not the kind of content that merits to be on such a progressive platform as Steem. Therefore, I will flag your post and encourage others to do so.

I apologise if I have made a mistake, but the risk of allowing such deceptive posts to exist is too great.

Why reverse image search doesn't prove anything

Simply, any scammer worth his salt knows how to modify some pixels to prevent search algorithm's from matching it with it's non-modified counterpart.
