There are two particulary sad facts about these scams:
1. People should know better. These things are so obvious that I have a hard time feeling sorry for anyone getting suckered by one of these scams, except maybe the elderly who don't have much going on 'upstairs' any more.
2. These should be the easiest criminals in the world to catch; hell, they actually *advertise*! Where are the police/FBI/CSIC (that's the Canadian answer to the CIA) on this? Why don't they spend a little less time snagging speeders on the highway and a little more time snagging these obvious frausters?
