Street scam cases are growing like mushrooms lately.  The public has been warned to stay alert to the growing trend of con artists, those who are capable of defrauding innocent ones of their properties by various means.  The prosperity enjoyed by these scammers is mainly due to the support from greedy, simple-minded and superstitious citizens.
 Scammers are aware of the fact that greed is a human weakness.  Hardly can greedy people resist the temptation of money.  Therefore, scammers usually lure them on Internet auction sites by ‘promising’ to buy their products five fold the selling price or more.  With such attractive profits, income hungry people will surely fall into their traps.  They will soon find out the promise is false.
 Another common trick of looking after fake electronic parts is to target simple-minded people.  They are unaware that they are in a well-planned pitfall of an organized scamming operation.  Unsophisticated people then buy the electronic parts that are said to be profitable.  They will shortly find that the moneymaking electronic parts are worthless.
 Superstitious people are likely to fall into traps of ‘spiritual blessing’.  Scammers claim to bless people by getting their jewelry and money.  Unfortunately, those people believe that by exchanging their fortunes with the scammers, they can have good luck in health, wealth and relationships in return!  Definitely, it is not the case.
 It is unscrupulous of con artists to deceive people.  Nevertheless, we have to be alert and wise in order not to be cheated by them.  Otherwise, we are bound to suffer from a loss.
