Christians are generally not anymore gullible or scammers than anyone else.
BUT the topic is relevant here because the core clients are using Christianity in their own defense.
Here’s a quote from their website:
“Coreclients Against Fraud are victims of an alleged Massive Real Estate/Mortgage/Currency Ponsi scheme spanning several states perpetrated by several people who claim to be ‘investment advisors’ and ‘real estate investors.’ They targeted active-duty/retired military, the church community, the retired and elderly, and the Filipino Community. They claimed that we would see financial independence in 3 years if we gave them control of our finances and trusted them (they claimed to be Christians).”
In essence the core clients are saying that they trusted the scammers BECAUSE investors and scammers are Christians.
Rather than focusing on the scam itself, they use the fact that they are “active-duty/retired military, the church community, the retired and elderly, and the Filipino Community” to elicit sympathy.
It seems to me that the core client are admitting that they are “gullible” and that’s why they were easily duped because of religion. Would the core client have turned over their finances to the scammers if they were Muslim? I think not.
It’s not us, the libs, who are playing the religion card.
