What would you think if a pastor, rabbi, bishop, priest, minister or imam emailed, called or messaged you at home representing a worthy cause? The last thing on your mind would be the possibility that they are a scammer.
However, this is happening to people across the United States. This type of con is more than a one-time event, and the Federal Trade Commission has taken notice of these worshipper scams.
Despite posing as a representative of a church or organization, these fraudulent spiritual leaders are scammers pretending they want your help for a charitable cause. People fall for this scam as they feel as though they’re doing a good deed.
