"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 !

Hello Sir/Madam,

I am inspired to send you this email by the huge opportunity that it will
be of mutual benefit to us.My late client a national of Israel a Man who
used to work with Shell before his untimely death few years ago and
inquiries to several embassies to locate any of my clients extended
relatives proved abortive.

I decide to trace his relatives over the Internet . Still no success .
Hence,this contact to you.

I contacted you only to assist in repatriating the sum involved otherwise
the estate he left behind will be declared unserviceable by the bank which
just issued me a notice to provide the next of kin or have the account
frozen.I
now use this medium to seek your consent so that the proceeds can be paid
to you since I have all the necessary legal documents to back up our
claim.


I guarantee you that this will be executed under a legitimate arrangement
that will protect you and I from any breach of the law. All I require is
your honest cooperation to enable us redeem the funds. Kindly reply back
if this proposal satisfies your interest.
