I’m not the first to make this comment, but after many years of marketing online, it certainly seems that the more someone proclaims their ‘religiousness’ the more likely they are to be a problem customer or just a scammer.
In fact, I’m hard pressed to think of many instances where someone like that wasn’t out to just rip-off products, try to get them for free, etc. Just had a recent example with a “Faith Management” marketing company. Seemed to be just looking to get something for nothing, going out of its way to make bogus claims over products I’ve never seen in more than 16 years of online marketing.
In my view, this has nothing to do with being religious. I’m religious. But I don’t promote first and foremost my company is a religious company. And I don’t thank God in every email or communication. Unfortunately, that over-the-top approach is all-too-often a red-flag of someone trying to take advantage of truly sincere people.
In fact, looking further at this “Faith Management” company, once you get past all the blessings on their website, I see a bunch of scammy crap and use of junk freebie stuff that gives so many online marketers a bad name.
So beware. Why is someone promoting themselves as ‘religious’? Are they truly tied to a religious organization? Or, is it someone trying to trade in on religious goodwill to separate your hard-earned money from your wallet?
