It's also a shame that so many of the crimes are not prosecuted and when guilty verdicts are obtained the prison sentences don't appear to be a reasonable deterrent. Some of the criminals learn from their errors and move on to even larger hoaxes.

For every one of the large fraud schemes that are posted by myself and by other DU members there are hundreds of small schemes where someone might lose a few hundred dollars instead. The best that I can hope for is that people will read and learn so that they can avoid becoming victims.
