Federal regulators and consumer advocates say the economic stimulus package has given scam artists a new angle. Websites offering free government stimulus grants offer hope to people desperate for relief. What they end up with is a monthly charge on their credit card for up to $70 that's nearly impossible to shake.

So, what is everyone's take on this new line of "scam artists" who are taking advantage of Americans who already have enough problems??
