what 'help' is this?

Hello,
How can I say the expression below?

'the help which is not actually a help but in the begining it seems like help but later on it may turn out to be an exploitation '. The focus must be on 'seems like help in the begining'

Thanks

What seems helpful in the beginning may turn out to be exploitation in the end.

Or better yet:

What seems like help in the beginning may turn out to be exploitation in the end.
