Comment on Fraudsters Jailed for £37m Copycat Website Scam

Reading this article is remarkably comical. I understand what they did is labeled as criminal. Yet it's funny how a lot of businesses are similar and in this world they're legal.

"They showed no regard for the unnecessary costs they imposed on their victims - I would say they treated them with contempt." - Hmm that isn't new.

Businesses that don't pretend to be an official government service are fairly dissimilar from this case, but yes - I agree with the sentiment!

It also reminds me of my time in Southern Italy government officials with mob connections tried to exploit me when i lost my passport
