"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 !

My Dear,
It is my pleasure to contact you for a business venture which I and my Son Musa intend to establish in your country. Though I have not met with you before but I believe one has to risk in succeed sometimes in life.
I can confide on you for the brighter future of my children since you are a human being like me. There is this huge amount of Ten Million five hundred thousand United States dollars. ($10.500.000.00) which my late Husband kept for us with a Security Company here in Abidjan Cote D'ivoire before he was assassinated by unknown persons, Now I and my son Musa have decided to invest these money in your country or anywhere safe enough for security and political reasons.
We want you to help us claim and retrieve this fund from the Security Company and transfer it into your personal account in your country for investment purposes in your country. If you can be of an assistance to us we will be pleased to offer to you 20% of the total fund. You
can call my son Musa for more explanation on this number: +225 0272 1430.  bukarysalfy@yahoo.fr
I await your soonest response.
Mrs Salfy Bukary.
