In most countries you pay taxes for the land you have. The more you
have, the more takes you pay.
Someone having 100m2 of land does not pay the same as one that has
100000m2 of land.

What entitles you to call "scammer" someone that chooses to pay less
lots of money "one shot" for something that others got for free ?

Oh, by the way, do "scammers" include those that get IP space by
registering LIRs on different companies with same contact info and
strikingly similar names ?
(sorry, couldn't resist).
