00:00Here is one way to drastically reduce your chances in the afterlife.
00:13A 27-year-old woman named Sharifa Watkins went to a Baptist church outside New Orleans a while back.
00:20She said she didn't have enough money to pay her power bill.
00:22So the church stepped up to help her out.
00:24They wrote her a check to cover the price of her bill.
00:27Apparently this happened late in 2014.
00:30No one at the church even remembers her.
00:32But a pastor was going through their books last month and realized, well, there's a bunch of money missing.
00:36Turns out Sharifa used the account number and routing number on the check they gave her to pay a bunch of her other bills, too, to the tune of $20,000.
00:47Thank you, Jesus.
00:50Thank you, Jesus.
00:53Sharifa did a dance out that time.
00:56Oh, Jesus saves.
00:58Oh, Jesus is going to save my ass today.
01:03Pay it in bills, Jesus.
01:08So the church was happy that they saved this poor unfortunate soul?
01:15No, Chuck.
01:16She stole from them.
01:17Oh, Jesus.
01:18Jesus is routing number one.
01:23I got a Jesus's account number.
01:28I count straight to Jesus.
01:31Straight to my bank.
01:34These shoes, Jesus.
01:36These shoes, Jesus.
01:40What are you wearing?
01:41Oh, it's Jesus.
01:44This is Sharifa's mugshot there.
01:47So she got busted.
01:49She got busted.
01:51From January of last year until the middle of last month, she used the church's money to pay her cell phone bills, her cable bills, a few other utilities, her auto insurance and her car payments.
01:59How did she do that, though?
02:00She just submitted their checking number and their routing number from the check they gave her.
02:06Oh.
02:07And somehow that worked.
02:09Yikes.
02:10The cops finally tracked her down last Thursday.
02:12She admitted she used the account info to set up the payments on her cell phone.
02:16She's facing charges for identity theft now and the illegal transfer of funds.
02:20But from late 2014 until now, they just finally caught up with it in this church accounting department that she was singing for a while.
02:29Oh.
02:31Jesus must be happy because I ain't caught yet.
02:36I got my cell phone paid.
02:39I got my insurance paid.
02:42Compayment paid.
02:44Credit cards paid.
02:48Wardrobe set.
02:50Hair do set.
02:52Jesus.
02:55Thank you, Jesus.
02:58I think I might go see Sharifa sing if she was singing at my church.
03:01I'm telling you.
03:02That's entertaining.
03:04She loves Jesus.
03:05I tell you, man.
03:06Loves free money.
03:06They were not paying a lot of attention there in the old church accounting department.
03:10No, they weren't.
03:11It took them a couple of years and 20 grand to figure out that something was up.
03:15Yep.
03:17Give a better eye on that.
03:18But it's that.
03:19So, God, you give someone a check and they can use your info to start.
03:23I had no idea.
03:24You wouldn't think so, but who knows.
03:26You'd think that there would be some checks and balances within the banking system.
03:29Because I tell you, they won't even let me go to Vegas sometimes and use my own things.
03:34Yeah.
03:36You know?
03:37You should ask for a little help from Jesus.
03:39I know.
03:39Jesus, I'm trying to gamble and sin.
03:43Jesus, help me sin.
03:46Jesus, help me gamble and sin.
03:49Maybe get a little bit of weed.
03:50Jesus, help.
03:55I want to have fun.
04:00Jesus, let some crazy church give me an account number, please.
04:08I got a joint checking account with Jesus.
04:11Jesus, co-sign my loan.
04:20Oh, Sharifa.
04:22Sweet, misguided Sharifa.
04:26You thief.
04:28You're stealing from Jesus.
04:31Good luck to you now.
