"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 !

Dear Friend,



My name is Michael Bowen , I am a private business consultant for very eminent persons in the Asian and South African region. They have appointed me to source on their behalf a foreigner with whom they can jointly entrust a reasonable amount of money, which will be channeled into a highly lucrative business venture. I got your address through the chamber of commerce and industries.



They have $170million (One Hundred and Seventy million United States Dollars). They request strict confidentiality due to their public nature, they prefer to be anonymous hence I have been given the mandate to source for someone of high business experience with very good reputation.



Proposal in summary:

My clients are top government officials in the Asian and South African region they want the funds to be invested through a well-established businessman abroad who can front for them without disclosing their identity. You will be made the beneficiary of the funds in order to manage these funds on their behalf and you will be awarded 20% of the total sum as your share in this deal then invest the rest for my clients.



So if truly you are interested in proceeding, kindly indicate by sending a response to my e-mail address above. ( michaelbowen549@yahoo.com Or michaelbowen929@yahoo.com )



Yours Sincerely,

Michael Bowen
