Although the group uses bait and lead in attempts to suck newcomers into the scheme, I feel you have to be kind of dumb to fall for it. Scientology's cover has been blown for a long time. The affluent folks the Scientologists are looking for should already be onto their game. If potential recruits aren't doing their due diligence before joining, I can't have too much sympathy if they lose...

Scientology has been accused of intimidation, threats, and at least one homicide in the USA regarding ex-members who had held positions of trust in the organization. I don't know how true these claims are; I'm inclined to doubt they are murderers even if they are frauds. They do sue people, though.
