No doubt fraud is an issue everywhere. The question is whether it incurs cost on the fraudster. You mentioned people who took the money for construction and disappeared - why were they not sued or prosecuted?

Fraudsters can equally well disappear in USA or UK, and they certainly do so.

You can't prosecute a man going missing without a trace.
