"Scammers often rely on the greed and dishonesty of the mark, who may attempt to out-cheat the con artist, only to discover that he or she has been manipulated into losing from the very beginning. This is such a general principle in confidence tricks that there is a saying among con men that "you can't cheat an honest man." - Scams

This book is about dishonesty - from street level to Cyberworld . It describes the common scams in circulation today and their origins. It shows how each fraud is perpetrated and how the informed reader can avoid or at least minimise their losses when faced with the scenario. If after reading this book you still manage to get scammed, you deserve to be put facing a corner with a dunce cap on your head and whipped with your empty wallet !

Greetings
 
I am the Finance Minister/Governor of Central Bank of Libya.there was a great late industrialist,who has an account with my Bank here in libya.
 
 
This account was opened in 2005 and has not been operated (remained inactive) since 2009.Realiable sources revealed that the oil merchant died in one of the terrorist attacks in his Sirte residence.Until his death there was no written or oral will.His name is George B. Eastwood,The account has no other beneficiary and until George B. Eastwood's death, he was the manager of  National Oil Corp (NOC)in Libya.My investigation through the Immigration Department proved to me as well that George B.Eastwood was single and he had no beneficiaries or next of kin,before or after his entry into the Arab Republic of Libya .This account in question has been floating (dormant)since 2009 and if I do not remit this money out urgently it will be forfeited for nothing since my bank has been sold to another Bank in Kuwait .this is top secret and the management of the bank is ready to release the Fund to any foreigner who has the correct information! ! of the account before fully handover.
 
 
I am writing you now because a successful takeover bid was launched last May by a Kuwaiti Bank, and by next month,2012,the 2 Banks will merge! This means that a management internal AUDIT will reveal the money,and it will surely be donated to one of the ISLAMIC FUNDAMENTALIST GROUPS,who are really armed terrorists!With your help,I can transfer this money LEGALLY to your nominated Bank Account anywhere in the world.So please reply urgently so that I will start.
 
 
 
inform you about the next step to take. With my influence and power in the Bank, all will be safely handled and legally done; THERE WILL BE ABSOLUTELY NO RISKS!
 
 
At the conclusion of the transfer, you will give me 60% of the money and keep 40% for your self.This is a deal if you cannot handle it.please do not reply.
 
 
Awaiting your prompt and positive response.
Yours Truly,
Dr.Abdulhafid M.Zlitni.J
