editIs it inappropriate, do you think, to add this category to articles about single instances of confidence tricks? And if so, what is the appropriate category to add to them, to indicate this nature? I do not feel it is inappropriate myself, I only ask because of a complete lack of such articles in this category.

- As an example, the Madoff investment scandal is categorized as Category:Pyramid and Ponzi schemes, a sub-cat of "Cat:Confidence tricks". Anarchangel (talk) 18:32, 23 March 2012 (UTC)
- Moreover, there seems to be no difficulty whatever in categorizing individuals as Category:Confidence tricksters. I find the dichotomy between this rushing ahead to categorize people, but holding back in categorizing the less privacy-disturbing events, somewhat disturbing, truth to tell.
