About this listen
Maybe you're wondering how to make the scam phone calls stop. Perhaps someone has stolen your credit card number. Or you've been a victim of identity theft. Even if you haven't yet been the target of a crime, con artists are always out there, waiting for the right moment to steal your information, your money, and your life.
As one of the world's most respected authorities on the subjects of fraud, forgery, and cyber security, Frank Abagnale knows how scammers work. In Scam Me If You Can, he reveals the latest tricks that today's scammers, hackers, and con artists use to steal your money and personal information--often online and over the phone. Using plain language and vivid examples, Abagnale reveals hundreds of tips, including:
With his simple but counterintuitive rules, Abagnale also makes use of his insider intel to paint a picture of cybercrimes that haven't become widespread yet.

Frank Abagnale once was, and now he’s on the other side, helping law enforcement and regular citizens spot the newest cons out there.

Good general fraud survivor book
Something went wrong. Please try again in a few minutes.
The author also seems to be an Apple fanboi, which I'm not sure is entirely appropriate.
The section on passwords also missed out SQRL as an upcoming alternative
Interesting ideas, very USA centric
