Publisher's Note Bertrand provides the weapons readers need to defend themselves against economic crimes of all kinds, including pyramid schemes, telemarketing fraud, and credit card scams.
The odds in favor of becoming a victim of fraud are higher than those of becoming a victim of a violent crime. After all, a mugger can only mug one person at a time, but a con artist can swindle hundreds of people at once.
FRAUD! provides readers with all the weapons they need to defend themselves against economic crime of all kinds-from "ponzi scams" and "pyramids" to telemarketing fraud and credit card schemes. Using examples, anecdotes of real-life scams, interviews with state and federal regulators, victims of fraud, and actual con artists themselves, FRAUD! gives the low-down on the low-lifes behind this billion dollar business.
With the advice in this book, readers will be able to: spot a fraud, find a trustworthy stockbroker or financial planner, invest their money, use credit, run a small business, borrow money, and surf the Net--all without fear of being scammed, swindled, ripped off, or conned in any way.
