Scams

A Business Scam or Con is a disreputable business venture or completely fraudulent business that aims to obtain money through dishonest or borderline criminal means, such as false advertising, the selling of faulty, questionable, stolen or unusable goods, and manipulating oblivious employees into taking part in the scam. Such businesses may also offer legitimate services but operate without legal or community permission.

For more extreme and blatantly illegal criminal ventures, see Criminal Enterprises.
