Please don't blame those that fall for it

This is something a person as corrupt as Jonathan can engage in.

I won't be surprised if Jonathan and some of his associates actually scam people online. He is that evil

And what is the difference between online and offline scam?

Jonathan has been scamming IPOB youths since 2007. He has not provided any infrastructure for them despite all the promises. And yet he is their jesus on earth
