Scams in the News:
As in all things there are different levels of ambition.
(1) While this guy was clever, making your own price codes and sticking them on items you are buying at Target nets you maybe $100 per scam.
(2) On the other hand, trying to scam in the $25,000,000,000,000.00 range shows a lot of brass. These guys weren't too smart but, man, did they have ambition.
