I don't know where to begin - but, here is the latest Federal pursuit of the greatest scam artists:
Federal, State Law Enforcers Complete Bogus Business
Opportunity Sweep
Crackdown Includes More Than 100 Law Enforcement Actions
The Federal Trade Commission today announced Project FAL$E HOPE$, a federal and state law enforcement sweep targeting bogus business opportunities and work-at-home scams. The crackdown includes more than 100 law enforcement actions by the FTC, the Department of Justice, the United States Postal Inspection Service, and law enforcement agencies in 11 states.in four of the new FTC cases alone, consumers have lost more than $30 million.
Bogus business opportunities trample on Americans' dreams of financial independence, said FTC Chairman Deborah Platt Majoras. If a business opportunity promises no risk, little effort, and big profits, it almost certainly is a scam. These scams offer only a money pit, where no matter how much time and money is invested, consumers never achieve the riches and financial freedom promised.
Lifestyle Vending These vending machines dispensed loose candy or sodas and snacks, and required a minimum investment of $5,495. Lifestyle Vending offered a lifetime warranty on the machines and claimed the recommended location service would relocate any machines for two years at the purchaser's request.

They are being pursued by the ftc and the us:
