Some times one has to doubt what one reads, or sees, or hears.
When such posts come from a well established personality it is one thing, because such a personality has its reputation to lose if discovered as a mere attempt to squeeze pitiful rewards, be them either upvotes or donations or a different form of reward.
When they come from an unknown, it is another thing, since such an unknown has only what to gain from others' mercy.

The mere fact that this dude uses a picture of some filipina as an avatar and then suddenly starts to post pics of some poor guy alone should make one suspect.
