This is probably more possible now given the ease with which a fraud can get someone else to do their work for them (I remember a news story doing the rounds of an experienced developer doing all of this and outsourcing all their work to India).
But of course, this isn't new behavior and because we work in a job which is seen as well paid, so fraudsters will try to get something for nothing.
