My lady while visiting her son in an issan prison was approached by a young Mormon American guy looking for an easy target.

She was obviously at a low ebb and fell for his caring approach.. I've had the devil's job convincing her this guy is a scam artist working for a cult..

Anyone else has similar?

But, did she get the free sack of rice?


Beware of strangers bearing gifts!

Are mormon's scam artists? what is their scam?

Did your 'lady' feel supported by the conversation with the mormon? Perhaps you could offer support so she isn't vulnerable and needing to seek it elsewhere?

Shall we start with the gold tablets from god that only Joseph Smith could see.. the 10% tithe on all followers earnings. Polygamous marriages. And hanging around outside prisons looking for crying mothers to rope in.. nope these guys are straight up saints.
She was targeted she didn't seek anything..

Have yourself a geat day violet..

what scam?

He might have been using her situation to try an make her see the "light" that the Mormon church could help here thru the bad situation she is curranty in, with help from the almighty
Hardly a scam,

I've known people involved in the Mormon church - friends of friends usually - and have met lots of missionaries. I think their religion is a bit of a crackpot one but they've all been nice people. I've never really had an issue with people trying to proselytize me except that they always seem to approach me when I can't be arsed talking to anyone but I just say not interested thanks, they say fair enough, we talk for a few minutes about how the weather is great today and then they're on their way.

The missionaries I do have an issue with are the types who go to remote tribes trying to change the way they live, and probably exposing them to viruses they've never been around before. Or taking jobs as English teachers and then using the job to try to convert the kids instead of doing what they're being paid to do. I've met a few of the fake English teacher types in my time and some of them have been arrogant fuckwits, they didn't give a shit about the people whose lives they were messing with, it was all about getting members for their church.
