Did you know that the odds in favor of your becoming a victim of fraud are higher than those of becoming a victim of a violent crime? Its not so surprising if you consider that a mugger can only mug one person at a time, while a con artist can easily swindle hundreds of people at once. But life is about to become harder for these swindlers--because FRAUD! provides you with the weapons you need to defend yourself against economic crime of all kinds, from ponzi and pyramid schemes to telemarketing and credit card fraud. Using enlightening examples, compelling stories of real-life scams, and candid interviews with state and federal regulators, victims of fraud, and actual con artists themselves, FRAUD! gives you the low-down on the low-lifes behind this shady billion dollar business.
