Where do you get your legal advice from Phil? Attempt to Defraud is a crime.

I would have thought "fraud" and "scam" are pretty much synonymous, Phil.

Attempting to defraud people in a highly organised way is surely just a little more than "a bit naughty" isn't it ;-)

I would call it "an attempt to defraud" - but no doubt The Court would go by the wikipedia? ;-)
