“They sent a black guy. I’m black,” Cunningham said. “He said he was a Christian. I’m a Christian.”

This has got to be the most pathetic part of this whole story.
My wife was in her last year of her RN program. So she met this fellow student who wanted to talk to her about some investment in real estate, real estate sales and lending commission type pyramid thing. Anyway my wife is Filipino, the couple that came over with this pyramid thing was Filipino, my wife is catholic and so were they. How stupid or blind would I have been to ignore the facts just because these people were of the same race and religion as my wife. They couldn’t even answer half of my questions. They wanted something like $5,000 to join this thing. Of course I was polite since this was my wife’s friend. I believe the scam in Temecula involves Filipino Nurses. I’m pretty sure they were Catholic also.
I’m sorry but these people need to stop using excusses.
