"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 !

I hope that you will not expose or betray this trust that I am about to impose on you. I decided to contact
you to help me actualize this business for the mutual benefit of both our families. My name is Mr. Thea Ret
am the Auditing and Accounting manager in a commercial Bank in Cambodia, there is one of our customers
who have made fixed deposit of sum of Ten million five hundred thousand dollars, for 4 years and upon maturity;
I sent the notification to his address, but no response. After few months, we sent a reminder and finally we
discovered from his business partner that he died after a brief illness in his country. We tried everything humanly
possible to locate his relatives or family, but all efforts failed. The deposit is still intact with my bank and the interest
is being paid into the principal sum at the end of each year.
If the fund remains in the account for more months, the fund will be confiscated and transferred into the treasury
of the Government as unclaimed funds. This is why I contacted you for us to work together and transfer this fund
into your account, because a foreign account is needed for this transfer,a bank account anywhere in the world
will be fine for the transfer. All that is required of you is to contact my bank with the information I will send you as
the next of kin or a business associate of the depositor with this system the fund will be paid into a bank account
you will provide to the bank. To be honest with you, this is totally legal and 100% risk free.
But the secret must remain between you and me, I have worked with this bank for many years and I know all the
secrets and I have carefully mapped out my perfect strategies to handle this operation successfully. The depositor is
my close friend before his death that is the main reason why I'm the only one working at the bank here that knows much
about the existence of this fund and the secrets and the depositor. We will also use some part of the funds to help the
orphanage and less privileged children in the world.
Please keep this proposal as a secret between us and delete it immediately in your mail box if you are not interested.
But if you are interested give me an answer immediately.

I await your response.

Mr. Thea Ret
