Perhaps, but it was still legal the way I see things. Laws aren\'t set up to make everyone in America be "Nice", they\'re there so that you don\'t get ripped off. This guy didn\'t get ripped off, he got exactly what he bid for. What he thought he was getting, and what he agreed to pay for should be a non-issue. Buy here/Pay here car dealerships do this shyt every day.. and it\'s legal. Look in your local newspaper classifieds to all the "5000 a month/Work at home!" BS deals. Yeah, their scams. They don\'t set you up with a legitemite buisness, they teach you how to scam others. But there\'s nothing the law can do about it. It\'s legal.
The best defence against fraud is education. If your going to blow that much cash on something, you had better know exactly what your getting for your money. As the old axiom goes, "A fool and his money are soon parted".
