It always amazes me how often, and in how many different ways, people get scammed. It's actually quite amazing that people continue to find ways to get around the law, and cheat honest people out of their hard earned money. I'll admit, i have been the victim of a scam or two, the worst actually being a job that ended up costing me hundreds in gas and tolls, not to mention a solicitation ticket in a town that i hope to never go to again...all this and i was constantly shorted on my pay until the day i saw it for what it was and juts quit.
It happens that way all too often, people dont realize whats happening until it's too late and the damage is already done.
Whether it's a pay-to-play scheme, or a simple pyramid, it seems the laws never seem to stop these people from finding the naive and taking advantage them.
Now i think about this as i've been watching wall to wall political ads for weeks about how much these politicians want to help americans, but how hard would it really be to pass a small piece of legislation that actually makes it impossible, or at least more difficult to get away with these scams. These people are just in it for a quick buck...make it too difficult or annoying and they would quickly go away. There will always be someone out there looking to make that quick buck at the expense of someone less fortunate, but if these people were policed a just a little bit more, maybe things would get a little better for a small group of people...things can only get better for everyone, if they get better for someone first.
