HOW TO RUN A SUCCESSFUL MAIL ORDER BUSINESS BY DEFRAUDING THE PUBLIC - A Semi-Serious Guide to Illusory Riches (additional information)
Fraud costs the average individual not only money, but also time trying to recover his/her money. And yet fraud is still very common today, despite the availability of video cameras, computers, telephones and many other products of modern technology, all allowing close monitoring of each single member of the population. The book discusses the reasons why fraud - particularly mail order fraud - persists, such being, changed attitudes and values.
The book then gives a full description how mail order frauds are perpetrated. It lists the available avenues for recourse and speculates on the reasons why such avenues seldom provide the necessary help. It describes a number of common mail order and other types of fraud.
Although actually meant to:
- Alert the consumer to the dangers of dealing with organizations with which he/she is not entirely familiar;
- Draw the attention of the system;
The book is different in that it takes the unusual approach of addressing the perpetrator of fraud, rather than the victim.
