A con artist joins a community of some sort, often a church, and gains the trust of its members. He convinces them to invest in a scheme and eventually walks away with most, if not all, of the money. It's called affinity fraud, and it's one of the fastest-growing types of fraud in North America. It wasn't long before God's Fraud Squad was born. The timing -- and location -- couldn't have been better. With 200 churches and 30 denominations, the Fraser Valley is known as British Columbia's Bible belt.
