"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 !

Subject: PLEASE WRITE ME BACK URGENT.

Greetings.

As you read this, don't feel sorry for me, because it is the destiny of everyman to die someday. I am Mr.Ivanov Redouane Mekideche,a naturalised Polish by birth and a business merchant based in the Warsaw Poland. I have been diagnosed with Esophageal cancer.
 
It has defiled all forms of medical treatment, and right now I have only about a few months to live, according to medical experts. I regret that I have not particularly lived my life so well, as I never really cared for anyone (not even myself), but my trade. Though I am very well to do, I was never open handed; I was always hostile to people and regarded them like they never had hopes of becoming as successful as myself.
 
Now I know that there is a lot more to life than just prosperity.I believe that when I am given a second chance to come to this world, I would live my life a different way from how I have lived it. Now that death is eminent, I have willed and given most of my belonging to immediate and extended family members, as well as a few close friends.
I want God to be merciful to me and accept my soul. Hence I have decided to support charity work; this is what i want to be remembered for. So far, I have been able to reach out to a few charity organizations in the Singapore, Algeria and Malaysia.
 
Now that my health has deteriorated so badly, I cannot do this myself anymore.I once asked members of my family to aid me in giving of alms to those organizations catering for the less privileged in Bulgaria and Pakistan; they refused and kept the resources to themselves. Hence, I do not trust them anymore, as they seem not to be contempt with what I have left for them.
 
The last of my belonging which no one knows of, is the huge deposit of Eigh milion US dollars that I have in a safe keeping compnay abroad, which I will want you to secrue and bestow to charity organizations.
 
Please endaevour to reply me via email: ivanov.redouanemekideche@gazeta.pl
For your time and devotion, I have set aside a 20% of this for you.
God be with you.
Mr: Ivanov Redouane Mekideche.
