At the moment rip off the people is proving a lucrative revenue generating business.
Banks, Credit Card Companies, Councils,Traffic Wardens, TV Companies, Ford, Sony, .... the list of people and organisations who are using every dishonest scam they can think of to to trick us into parting with our cash, seems endless.
Now, In 1968 The Criminal Law Act came into force when I was a copper. A section of the act said this. 'If by any deception a person obtains by deception a pecuniary advantage for himself, or another he is guilty of theft, by Criminal Deception.
So how is it, I wondered, that none of the people responsible for ripping of you and I by deception, ie. illegal bank charges, green taxes, mortage endowment policies, extended warranties, etc are never prosecuted?
Because some pratt quietly repealed the act that protected us.
Bur who?
