Scammers, Schemers and Dreamers (Paperback) (ISBN-13: 9780692232200)

When hearing that someone fell victim to a scam the initial reaction is often to wonder how anyone could have fallen for such a thing. The next thought is that it would never happen to them. Unfortunately it happens to everyone without regard to education, income level or social status. Scammers, Schemers and Dreamers follows a fictional middle-class, well-educated family as they fall victim to common, and very real, versions of consumer fraud. The narrative clearly illustrates that no one is immune in today's society. Written by Elisabeth Daniels, former Chairperson of the Fight Fraud Nevada Taskforce, and Richard J. Warren, consumer columnist for The Vegas Voice, the book tells a cautionary tale for all consumers. Part Two provides information on how to evaluate home-based business opportunities that are proliferating today and avoid becoming involved in something that is not suitable. Part Three provides tips and resources for consumers and highlights the most common scams.
