The third of a trilogy, this collection features 16 of the world's most outrageous scams and hoaxes. They all really happened, and were taken from firsthand accounts, newspaper reports, or historical documents found in public libraries. They date as far back as the late 1800s, but most are more recent.

You could almost call it a fair fight!

Bunk traces the history of the hoax as a peculiarly American phenomenon, examining what motivates hucksters and makes the rest of us so gullible.

Von Menschen, deren Identität gestohlen wird, die Weinfälschern auf die Schliche kommen oder an Verschwörungstheorien glauben. Menschen, die lügen, weil sie können oder müssen.

Von Menschen, die eine Scheinehe führen, sich als Politiker_innen ausgeben oder ganze Firmen erfinden.
