I hope the media keeps a watch on these scam artist. So one day the general public will know just because you want something really bad doesn't mean it will happen.

Nah, it will be mentioned in the tomes of these forums, to be seen only by those smart enough to use the "search" function.

Also, in conversation between intellectual species with some concern for the subject, I'm sure it will come up randomly at times.
