It has a ring of truth to it though. Some of the biggest culprits, criminals, bad people in general tend to masquerade as a "pure" or "undirtied" who is "trying to do good" for the people. Alot of 'em are very charismatic. It's the perfect cover whether they're religious, political or charity based. It some part of alot of people's minds, they expect bad people or someone up to no good to wear some kind of stereotypical villain outfit or persona. 

So I'm very skeptical of too good to be true kinds of people

Yes, there are bad people in the world. But the majority are trying their best to do good (and that goes for any profession). If you go by Hollywood, probably 80% of religious leaders are corrupt and evil. I'm guessing the real number is more like 5% (though, based on your comments, you'll probably highly dispute).

I'm not trying to say anything statistically like you are. I was talking in terms of my personal experience, intuition and what I've read on it. My point was that bad people are attracted to positions of power and positions of moral purity/authority to take advantage of it. I'm not saying that all of them are bad or anything but it's a safe bet if you wanted to find certain kinds of people.
