Scam Stories: Madoff, BitConnect, Cyberfraud & Beyond

Greg Aunapu

4.9/5 (15245 ratings)

Description:From Charles Ponzi to Bernie Madoff; from wild new cryptocurrencies like BitConnect to cutting edge cyberfraud -- a good con never dies, it just gets reincarnated. Scam Stories is a shocking look into how scammers combine new technology with classic cons to swindle thousands of victims out of $40-$50 billion a year in the U.S. alone-- perhaps as much as $100 billion yearly worldwide. Discover why the greatest schemes start with an exciting backstory that makes you obsess about it by day and dream about it at night. From the brilliant “Grand Masters” who need a few ordinary citizens just like you to provide cover for a complex series of international transactions so large that even the tiny percentage you earn for the use of your name will make you rich – you’re just that lucky to have been chosen – to sophisticated new scams offering fresh twists that “guarantee” an unbelievable once-in-a-lifetime opportunity. Everything comes with an exhilarating tale to feed your imagination and make your body sing like you’ve just been injected with pure adrenaline. Orchestrated by self-entitled, Machiavellian, narcissistic sociopaths with an intimate understanding of psychology that Sigmund Freud would envy, these cons prey on victims’ trust, desperation, hopes and fears. The crooks have no conscience and steal from both rich and poor alike. "Scam Stories" profiles several outrageous schemes that snookered thousands of victims, including savvy financiers, experts in their fields, celebrities and average citizens trying to pay the rent. These massive swindles, some snaring billions of dollars, are built on previously successful models and are so well-conceived you’ve got to wonder why these criminals never became millionaires in legitimate business. This book delves into the similarities between these major scams, the personality make-up of the consummate con-artist, and illustrates just why cons work. Admire these tricksters if you will — they have moxie and charisma — but beware their brothers and sisters in crime who are busy figuring out the balance in your bank account. Readers interested in Frank Abagnale's "Catch me if you Can" and his upcoming book, “Scam Me if you Can;” Maria Konnikova’s “The Confidence Game,” David Maurer's classic,"The Big Con," and anybody fascinated by the world’s most clever con artists, should like this book.We have made it easy for you to find a PDF Ebooks without any digging.
