Selling CCA as copper is like selling a paper straw for a fuel line. This is definitely fraud, and can seriously hurt/kill.
It would be great if aluminum alloys getting closer, but AFIAK, they still require one gauge more wire than copper... and one has to take extreme care at connections, or else the wires will corrode and the connection catches fire.
If aluminum wires did work, houses wouldn't be targets for copper thieves.
