Not so fast! There was a pretty high degree of fraud at all levels by all sorts of “Professionals”. I think at least some of the borderline, barely literate, immigrants may be excused for believing that they are dealing in a “developed” country (unlike their native kleptocracies) with good consumer protection laws and some degree of honor and integrity among the white collar “professionals”. That the “developed country” that they came for better life is also a kleptocracy is hitting them like a ton of bricks.
Obviously I have no sympathies for fraudulent buyers, but no sense in hating those who are victims of fraud.
