When I speak to Christians, they say no one would die for a scam and therefore the stories about Jesus must be true. Thoughts?
Yes, they are very firm about that, but as you say, nothing is recorded in the Bible about it. If the story was true they would have left behind a wealth of information. I think that if they were really the first team of marketers, they failed badly. Lazarus should have been their poster boy, but he just vanished after his story was told too.
