The Fraudsters: How Con Artists Steal Your Money
Share
THERE are as many ways to earn cash dishonestly as to make an honest living. Fraud is now an international industry, with a shadowy underworld network in which everything from songbirds and garlic, to designer goods and medicines are faked and sold on. The Fraudsters: Sharks and Charlatans How Con-artists Make Their Money details the con-tricks, identity theft, and exploitation, deployed every day by an army of these hard-working fraudsters.
The con-artists come in all shapes and sizes psychopaths who have no understanding of how their crimes affect their victims, the white collar grafters who like to think there are no victims if an insurance company is hoodwinked and then there are the fraudsters who stick to their flimsy stories even when confronted with concrete evidence of their crime. Billions have been stolen by highly-organised gangs of fraudsters, who sell unlikely tales through internet chat room and forums.
For some, the lure of illicit money is more potent than doing a day s work. Fraudsters pretend to be friends, a respected banker, or even a lover to win the trust they plan to violate. Arrogance, greed, gullibility and insecurity combine to make some people easy pickings for con-artists.
The Fraudsters tells the stories of all these modern day con-artists and their victims.

How we describe the condition of our books
We are very proud of the condition of the books we sell (please read our testimonials to find out more!)
New: Exactly as it says.
As New: Pretty much new but shows small signs of having been read; inside it will be clean without any inscriptions or stamps; might contain a remainder mark.
Very Good: Might have some creases on the spine; no hard cracks; maybe slight forward lean and short inscription inside; perhaps very minor bumping on the corners of the book; inside clean but the page edges might be slightly yellowed.
Good: A few creases on the spine, perhaps a forward lean, bumping on corners or shelfwear; maybe an inscription inside or some shelfwear or a small tear or two on the dustjacket; inside clean but page edges might be somewhat yellowed.
Fair: In overall good condition, might have a severe forward lean to the spine, an inscription, bumping to corners; one or two folds on the covers and yellowed pages; in exceptional cases these books might contain some library stamps and stickers or have neat sticky tape which was used to fix a short, closed tear.
Poor: We rarely sell poor condition books, unless the books are in demand and difficult to find in a better condition. Poor condition books are still perfect for a good read, all pages will be intact and none threatening to fall out; most probably a reading copy only.
