It's a scary world, it seems like every week you hear about a new scam. This book had some scams I'd already heard of and some new ones. Lots of ideas how to protect yourself.

Really informative and well organized. A must read for older readers, caregivers of older people, and anyone wanting to know how to protect themselves.
It's boring in places, but engaging enough to keep you reading.

You will not find a more informed expert on the minds of con artists. As noted in the book, the technology behind fraud and deception is constantly changing, but the psychology does not. This book is a helpful overview of several basic principles that can keep you safe. I'll certainly recommend it to friends and family.

A very relevant (if frightening) book about how to protect yourself against many types of theft. An important and timely read.

I got about 25% into this book and sent it out as a strong recommendation to read to all employees in our school district. (I'm the Tech Guy.) This book is easy to read with engaging examples. Some situations don't necessarily apply to everyone, but most do, and Abagnale's recommendations through the book are consistent and repetitive, which is important for getting folks to take action. I highly recommend this to everyone who wants to keep themselves safe from scammers.
