Almost 10/10 times I'll then hear the next door down getting knocked, and so forth down the block. It's sad in a way, though my perspective on how things were in "olden times" is probably rose-tinted- I'm sure there were door-to-door scammers in Leave it to Beaver times.

A major difference is that a gently caress load of economic deregulation has happened in the past 60 years as well as sabotaging of every regulatory agency's ability to do anything at all. There are places that make money doing things that were literally illegal 20 years ago. ToxicSlurpee is correct. A nice jumping off point would be to look at the amount of fake religious relics (most of them) that were floating around in medieval times. Hell, that would probably make for an interesting topic in the 'medieval history' thread. A jumping off point into that area would be the Shroud of Turin.
