Poco natural
As @vectorpBR322 pointed out, the "actually" would usually be in another place. The only time you would place it where you put it is when someone just said someone contrary to what your said and you want to intentionally emphasise that he is a scam artist. But your placement of "actually" seems highly intentional as in general it would be better to place the word as @vectorpBR322 put it.
Also, maybe you could say your sentence in spoken language and people will just fill in the blank, but technically it's incomplete. You really need something to go with "believing." Eg. "Believing him," "believing what he says," believing his every word," etc.
