ParticipantDear Conned by Crooks,
I feel so bad for you and your friends! I just can’t understand how something like this could happen and how those awfull people could get away with that, I am truly so sorry.
You and your friends are welcome to join my Church, I am the priest, and all of my children are making hundreds of thousands of dollars, and life is grand.
I would love to sit you down and explain how I can help uou make back all of those funds you lost and make much more, it is a very complicated to explain, but I am a man of G-d so you can trust me.
Please let me into your heart so I can help you onto the path of great wealth.November 30, 2007 at 5:46 AM #105540ParticipantDear Conned by Crooks,

Participant“Does church make people appear more trustworthy?”
Or are people who believe in religion just gullible and naive?

===================================
Actually the answer is yes to both, and I am a christian. However the answer is yes not because they are religious but because they are human. This is part of the human existence to want to believe that they are a part of something great. Mentally speaking the phenomena is not much different than poverty pimps or extreme animal rights types. (really I could name any sacred liberal cow).
It would be easy to play the same game with any group of people bonding together for some common interest (liberal/conservative/secular it doesn’t matter)
How many union members believe their leaders are doing the right for them? There is an implied trust that sometimes imperfect humans seem to break. Most union bosses really are leading with the rank and file in mind, but are there not bad seeds at the top with selfish interests? Are union members gullible if they have a crook running things?

ParticipantCardiff, great point, scams often require trust. Familiarity or similarity is the favored route. Race and Religion are common factors, many victims of any scam are lulled into it because the scammer has something in common with them in order to break down their defenses. Even most crimes are commited within one’s social, racial or religious group because people let down their guard when dealing with one of their own.
Conned, don;t worry about raising too much money for the education campaign to protect others, I’ll give you the entire program for free. It’s a two step, 30 second program.
“Don’t buy what you can’t afford.”
“Always look for investments, never let them look for you.”
You can even perform a scientific test with a small sum of money, let’s say $200. Invest $100 in something you find (an account or bond at the bank, a stock or index fund that you research and buy online) and invest the other $100 in something an a friend, aquaintance or telemarketer presents to you when you weren’t looking for it. After five years, see which one has more value, it will be the one you found and not the one that found you. $200 and you will have learned more than I learned in college, try it.
