Annotation:
While snake-oil salesman in the 1800s had to rely on signs, posters, and their gift for gab, today's hi-tech world offers scam artists new windows of almost limitless opportunity. In this book readers will meet real-life people who fell victims to con-artists and will recognize some familiar rip-offs and be surprised by others. In the end they will learn how to avoid the clever traps laid by hustlers and find out how to outsmart the outlaws.
