Just from the description, it seems clear that the couple were running a scam.
Scammers are evil, Die scammer Die!!
However, the blame for this can be placed entirely on the church for not doing their homework. It is incredibly irresponsible to make a gesture this huge, and not verify the background of the recipients. I also think the outright giving,
is just dumb. There are too many different options available.
Giving a "gift" of this value without due diligence only encourages other
evil scammers to join in. It also makes other organiziations less likely to help out.
