"They say you can't con a con man. But what if you're not a con man? Frank Abagnale once was, and now he's on the other side, helping law enforcement and regular citizens spot the newest cons out there. Nobody can explain how to avoid the current epidemic of financial fraud as well Frank Abagnale. He is the ultimate authority. If you value your financial security, listen to this man." --William Bratton, former Police Commissioner, NYPD and LAPD "For years, Frank Abagnale has been my first call in the event of any scam. His on-target, insightful advice has helped my me and my audience protect itself. I'm so glad he's finally put this important information into a book we all can -- and should -- read." --Jean Chatzky, Host of the HerMoney Podcast, Today Show Financial Editor, AARP Financial Ambassador "A must-own for every American to arm themselves against the fastest growing crimes in our nation. Frank is a Jedi Master, and all of us in law enforcement are grateful students. Young or old, rich or not, whatever your background, Frank will empower you to protect yourself and your loved ones." --Sean D.

Zelinski, author of How to Retire Happy, Wild, and Free " Scam Me If You Can is a timely, profoundly useful book about how to take action against identity theft scams. Only someone with Abagnale's unique background could precisely lay out a blueprint for recognizing and mitigating these insidious crimes, including both real life scenarios and hands-on solutions." --Brian L.

    The seller cancelled the sale due to a serious mistake they made in pricing (far too low). Instead of being honest with me (the buyer) about their mistake, the seller dishonestly claimed: "I'm out of stock or the item is damaged". The Evidence - The seller then immediately listed the same item back for sale at a much higher price. This was NOT an auspicious beginning for an eBay seller.

  • Buy if you don't want your money and identity stolen. If that doesn't matter to you, don't.

    No one wants to be ripped off! And if you use a debit card, you BETTER read this if you don't want an empty bank account. NEVER USE A DEBIT CARD! This book explains why, and don't you think Mr. Abignale should know? He certainly would never use one.
