Modern Frauds And Con Games

by Tony Lesce

Fraud is the fastest growing industry in the world, which is why it's become a global trillion-dollar problem. The main reason is that it's low-risk compared to other crimes. Overall, the apprehension rate is about three percent and the conviction rate about one percent. This volume describes dozens of frauds, many of which are not even illegal, but do involve deception for economic gain. This book will shed light on the new frauds and con games, with an extensive chapter on steps you can take to reduce your vulnerability to fraud. No book on fraud can be the final word, but this will help you protect yourself and your family.
