Mormons out west seem to be target by schemes like this and pyramid schemes as well. I think it is because they tend to be a tight knit community, who puts too much trust in other church members. I lived in Utah for several years and I saw multiple friends and coworkers get sucked into “multi-level marketing” schemes. It’s very discouraging to see. The people running these schemes are preying on people’s hope and desperation for a better life.
