They exist, but they can be hard to find sometimes. One thing you can try is just asking in noobie zones, ie. /ooc anyone here new to the server? let me know if you have any questions.
Alternatively you can also do a "honey pot" auction, eg. WTS Adamantine Bo Stick 5p. Any alts will already have something better (plus their players will know the bo stick is a trash drop), but the truly new players with only 12 plat and a rusty stick to their name will want to buy it. When they try you can just give it to them, along with other gear, for free.
One other idea is to do quests. If you offer 100p to anyone who brings you a 10x spider legs in the next hour, most alts won't bother (and the ones that do are probably poor and could use a donation anyway), but to a truly new player 100p is a lot of plat so you'll see them killing every spider in sight to try and get it.
