Too much of this happens in all religions. It is especially noticeable in Utah where trust is magnified in these tight communities called "wards".

I think part of the problem is that the LDS people are just so darn nice and trusting.
Then too, they have been taught to judge situations with their feelings rather than their heads.
The combination makes them easy pickings for scam artists.

It is especially noticeable in Utah where trust is magnified in these tight communities called "wards". Or is it the mental ability of those mormons who BELIEVE a convicted con-man 'translated' an ancient book by stuffing his face into a hat and looking at a smooth pebble?

Rip-off artists often see Christians as easy marks... That needs to change. Yes, Christians need to ‘forgive’ but not before serious repentance on the part of the ‘sinner’. God is forgiving - he can see into the human heart - we can’t. And to act like we can is to assume we’re on God’s level. The term blasphemy comes to mind.
