No, you hope they won't do it, but given enough incentive to move away
from non-https sites, and domain validated sites, there is enough people
caught by these scams to more then make it worth their while.

You also indicated law enforcement agencies would hunt down and capture
these perpetrators, which is another false assumption as most of the
world has bigger problems then catching people stealing money from
westerners.
