"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 !

From Joy Garcia Reyes,
Dearest One

I know you will be surprised to receive this letter from me and the transaction of this magnitude are of concern to anyone, but I am assuring you that everything will be fine at the end of the day, because this is a great favor if Father Almighty. With all due respect, let me start by first introducing myself properly to you. I'm Kristine Joy Garcia Reyes, the Philippines, the only surviving daughter of former chief of the AFP (Armed Forces of the Philippines) and Defense Secretary Angelo T. Reyes general purpose, who died on February 8, 2011, when my late father lived a beautiful life. He was a good man.
 
My late father had a special affection for me, I lost my mother during labor, it was like hell on the hood of my son growing up without my biological mother

I inherited a total of $ 21.4 billion U.S. dollars from my late father. The money was hidden in a saving of metal and deposited in a security company in Europe, precisely in Madrid - Spain.

For maximum safety and security of money, so any person or any government official who can keep track of this money, my late father deposited the cash deposit (trunk box) with a secret agreement as valuables of the family, which means that the security company does not know the actual content within the deposited cash savings in its custody. I am the only one who knows of the existence of this fund as the next of kin to this deposit.

The main reason I'm sending this email is because the way I found you and perhaps the confidence to take this opportunity to help me claim the money from the till of the security company as a business partner My late father, later deposit account for the purpose of future investments, so that I can continue my eduction in your country.
 
Let's talk about the pace just before proceeding.As soon as you know in my next email I will send my picture, more information and also the authorization document to contact the company depot is the document which was signed and issued by the company of the same day, the body has been deposited in a secret code for security.

Please forgive me if this proposal offend your moral ethics. Thanks in advance for your kind understanding to help, I look forward to hearing from you soon.

All the best,
Joy Garcia Reyes,
