I have not personally been targeted by the Credence Debt Collection scam, nor do I know anyone who has been targeted by it.
Such a person is a scapegoat.
My answer would be Jesus Christ because He was used as a scapegoat by the existing religious and political establishment, but I also think there have been many scapegoats in American history. Four of them were hanged for the Lincoln assassination, and others were sent to prison. I also believe that Sacco and Vanzetti were scapegoats, and that Bruno Hauptman was the scapegoat for the Lindbergh murder. Admiral Kimmel and General Short were the scapegoats for Pearl Harbor, and Lee Harvey Oswald was the scapegoat for the JFK assassination. Anyone else know any contenders for the best known scapegoat?
He is your scapegoat. They have a scapegoating problem.
