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.
