Actully its easier then that.
There is a widespread idea in some african countries that you can get millions of dollars, a record deal, green card etc. if you become a freemason.
There are a lot of scams out there.
I know that some 'kids' are thinking the same way here in Chicago.
For some reason, maybe because of a few hip hop artists like Jay Z, Kanye West, Young Thug etc, i've had conversations with some interested younger guys trying to explain away that Masonry will not help their aspiring music careers.
They have approached me a few times after seeing the S&C emblem and point blank asked how they could become Masons. I've asked why do they want to become Masons. And that's when I was told by them so that they might get connected with Masons in the music industry.
