Pastor Tony Spell "Give me your money!" |
Pastor Tony Spell, the head of Louisiana’s Life Tabernacle Church, always has one eye open for the main chance, and Covid-19 is it! He has his eyes on the stimulus money his target dupes are getting to help the USA out of the virus-induced recession.
Not only did he refuse to close his church to help prevent the spread of Covid-19 on the basis that real Christians don't mind dying (and he doesn't mind helping them so long as they bring money along to his church before they do) but he is now telling them they should give him their $1200 stimulus money rather than spend it on food, rent and essential bills!
Spell has started an online campaigns he calls #PastorSpellStimulusChallenge to encourage his gullible dupes to send him their money, claiming he and his wife have already donated theirs.
Presumably, he expects his dupes to be impressed that he and his wife have selflessly donated their $2400 to er... themselves.
What is noticeable about these Covid-19-related scams is just how many of them are aimed specifically at fundamentalist Christians, presumably because those who carry out the scams are well aware of the gullible and credulous nature of the people who flock to their churches and stuff money into the bank accounts of the con artists who run them.
