      It probably helps them sometimes in exploiting people who have a close relationship with God, but are too trusting/naive to know they're lying sometimes. It's definitely not believable if you're smart and you know of scammers and their tricks, but an unassuming person who thinks they're acting in a biblical way will probably be less fortunate and fall for their evil tricks. Sucks that people resort to that to make a living instead of doing honest work and not exploiting the poor people who do fall for that.

Seriously though, I’ve only just discovered your various scam baiting videos and they’re incredibly addictive, and the way you so eloquently narrate the videos just adds to the experience. With all of the other scam baiting videos on TH-cam that focus on dodgy international call centres running refund scams, your work reminds me of the very first scam baiting content I read on the internet some 20 odd years ago about 419 scam baiters who would convince their scammers to go to incredible lengths like getting tattoos to prove themselves.
