Is 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. Anarchangel (talk) 18:29, 23 March 2012 (UTC)Reply

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)Reply
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.
