Fraud is a huge business and every year thousands of people lose money to crafty con artists. This text exposes the many and varied types of frauds, explains how they work, reveals how the reader can identify a swindle, and arms them with all the knowledge and tools they need to avoid being conned.The Internet has opened the door to all sorts of new possibilities for fraud and deception, but, as Bertrand's catalog of schemes, scams, and swindles shows, plenty of people are still being taken in old-fashioned ways, too. Bertrand has contributed to numerous financial, business, and women's publications and is the author of A Woman's Guide to Savvy Investing (1997). She explains what fraud is, shows how prevalent it is, and tells who perpetrates it. She identifies the characteristics of fraud's frequent targets, and she exposes the most common types of fraud, including theft of identity, shady investments, pyramid schemes, and advance fee scams. Bertrand also covers the tools of the swindler's trade: the telephone and the Internet. She advises how to avoid being duped and suggests where one can go for help. Finally, Bertrand recommends that one work with a financial planner or a stockbroker and tells how to find trustworthy ones. Throughout, she includes interviews with fraud victims, con artists, and government regulators to vividly reinforce her examples. David Rouse
