Can you help? I�m looking for information about conmen, frauds and scams. If you�ve ever been the victim of a confidence trickster, fallen for a bogus get-rich-quick scheme etc. I�d like to hear about it. I�m also interested in any interesting and unusual cons or scams you may have heard about, and information about classic scams like the �Pigeon Drop�. If you�ve read any good books or articles about frauds, cons, and scams, or if you know of an organisation that might be a good source of information about this sort of crime, I�d appreciate it if you could mail or post the details. Thanking you in advance. Steve.
