Publisher's summary

Get inside and conquer the world of cons.

The world can be a deceptive place. There are individuals out there who will do anything to gain something regardless of who they hurt or who they have to deceive. Unfortunately, this practice is only becoming more of the norm.

Scammers and con artists seem to be on the rise just waiting to take anything they can from the general public. Cons are all over the news nowadays. You hear about people losing all of their investments, savings, or retirement money due to a scam that they fell into.

Now you may think to yourself, "Those poor people. But how could they not see that it was a scam? It's so obvious!" For that particular scam, that may be true. However, scams aren't always that easy to spot.

Cons have a unique set of skills that can make them very difficult to detect. In fact, there are always going to be different new schemes and "big opportunities" that pop up every day, making it nearly impossible to keep track of what is legit and what is sham.

Really not that great

I got this book because I wanted to research con artists and cons. This book DOES cover that, but only at the most basic of levels. It does include information on cons, and how to avoid being scammed... but only on the most, and I mean literally THE MOST basic of levels. Things like "don't give your Social Security Number". I'm sure it can be useful to some people, but it wasn't what I was looking for, or what I needed for my research.

Something went wrong. Please try again in a few minutes.
