Yeah, I suppose it works pretty much the same way. It's all about exploiting peoples' neuroses.

In some cases : Sylvia Millecam - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
In most cases, one might assume there's a real 'cause' for putting faith in homeopathic drugs.
Which operates on the same floor level as scam games and audio gadgetry, imo.
Different market, identical principles : different story, same routine.

Hah! I spent many episodes wrestling with an Atomic coffee machine, trying to get the damn thing to do something useful to the milk! Gave up, and the thing managed to rust itself solid - still have it, at least it's worth a few bucks now ...

Some people do hear "real" problems - get over it ...
At least one approach that can work, that I've found quite successful, is to be aware of what the goal is, a firm idea of what level of SQ is possible, if no compromises are allowed which undermine efforts made.
Then the process is to isolate each deficiency that is causing an issue, and resolve it. When all are taken care of, the desired result ensues.
The seemingly typical alternative which is to focus on one area of the overall puzzle, and concentrate all one's technical knowhow and expertise on bringing that one mechanism to as close as perfection as you can, while ignoring everything else appears fraught with problems. As in, the end result, the completed audio system still doesn't sound so brilliant - so, perhaps the smart thing to do then is blame bad recording technology, or that speakers are notorious for bad distortion ...
Fraud Department -
Maybe. But you would have to overcome the US Government Patent Office agreeing to its claims as a legitimate useful design to be successful in court as fraud. Wouldnt you? Not so easy to do in practice and a lot more costly. Now someone without patents would be an easier target.

Not really, no. You don't have to prove your patent actually works. You just have to show that it's "different." And even then, the patent office is largely just a big rubber stamp. John Bedini was able to secure a patent for what amounts to a perpetual motion machine. Ray Kimber secured a patent on a cable geometry that had already been patented.
Bottom line, having a patent doesn't mean a damn thing with regard to whether or not your device actually "works." And unless you have some pretty deep pockets to defend your patents, they're little more than marketing fodder.

And perhaps the best example showing what a joke the patent office is with regard to patent claims, Bedini was able to secure a patent for his "Clarifier," which did nothing more than spin a CD in a fixed magnetic field. Yet he claimed in his patent that doing this not only resulted in data compression on the disc, that it also rearranged the data on the disc. It was a total joke and I'm told he had to go through several patent attorneys until he found one that was willing to even file for the patent, but he was granted the patent just the same.
