Maybe not spam, but at least suspicious? Poverty is a lot of things, but one interesting thing I'd read is about how it can create a gift culture. There's a local max where in order to survive people in poverty rely on each other. This creates weird incentives where when someone comes into money they're expected to spend it to help the group (and if they save it they're shamed as greedy). Getting seen as not helping is high risk because relying on the help is often a matter of survival. This can make it culturally hard to get out.
