Scamming books
« on: May 05, 2007, 07:48:38 AM »
For information on how to avoid being scammed and to scam others read any of the books by Frank Abagnale (he was the main character in "Catch me if you can") His bes book is "The Art of the Steal", it details scams that he has done (besides check fraud) and scams that he has heard of. It is also a great read and includes many short stories about scamming adventures. Enjoy!

If you liked the movie then you should read the book.  There's so many more things in the book that weren't covered in the movie.  Like when he dressed as a security guard in an airport and stood next to the bank's night deposit box, telling everyone that it was out of order (or something like that) and collecting everyone's money.
