…How do these people not realise they’re being scammed? It’s… blatant!
It could only be more obvious if the documents were being held by a Nigerian Prince who wanted to send $1 million along with them! I feel like I could walk up to one of these fools and tell them, “I am actively scamming you, but if you trust me with a few dollars, magical fairies will come and restore you to your prime and grant you and those you love eternal youth, life, and wealth,” and they’d give me everything they could get their hands on!
Could also choose to engage with your community and do charity/volunteer work without supporting organizations like the Catholic church that actively shield pedo priests from prosecution. So many ways to do good without also enabling evil.
It would be fun to come up with a grift like this but use the same twisted legalese to claim what they are paying for is worthless. If you can’t beat em, join em.

It’s almost hard to not pity them at this point…
The best (worst?) part about this… that address is a church
They are being scammed by a church, but is a time honored tradition
Pretty much every one that goes to Church is being scammed by a church.
Some people like the community aspect of it, and doing charity / volunteer work. But other than that you are mostly right.
Could also choose to engage with your community and do charity/volunteer work without supporting organizations like the Catholic church that actively shield pedo priests from prosecution. So many ways to do good without also enabling evil.
To be fair, it’s probably a randomly chosen address that has nothing to do with the church. It’s not exactly like they’re going to process returns.
Isn’t that the address this application is being sent to?
The Facebook groups have thousands of people. I think the parallels between these people and Qanon are pretty significant.
