I'm probably over reacting to this story: Potential scams top 7,000 in BP spill compensation
It seems that people like to debate topics like "What's wrong with America?". For me, stuff like this tops the list. Based on the total number of claims, the fraudulent ones only account for 1.5%. Yet, I'm still bothered by that. Where's the honor? Where's the integrity? Why is there always a percentage of the population that has to take advantage of a crisis?
I'm not going to go on a big rant here, but these fraudulent acts are now costing the American tax payer, since the Justice Department now has to investigate (and hopefully prosecute) these low-lifes.
For shame.
