Doesn't inspire confidence.

Use GPG, it's not difficult. For non-technical folks, use signal or disappearing messages. For slightly more secure comms with non-technical people, use a combination of rot13 / caesar / similar.

Heh, maybe not for you and me, but if you've never tried to coach a less-technical person through setting up GPG and then using to encrypt/decrypt, it's an eye-opening experience

I too have confidence only in projects made by those who English good. It's the reason why I'm estranged from my Swahili-speaking parents.

Low language fluency with a purported high social effect / professional pretense is a good indicator for fraud. ESLs often translate English from their native tongue (which carries over the structure of their native tongue) instead of speaking it "natively". The author is pretty abysmal, and this doesn't bode well for his technical ability.
