How To Become A Professional Con Artist by Dennis M. Marlock Pdf
A fool and his money are soon parted, so the saying goes. And if the job is done right, the fool doesn't even realize it's happened until the wily con artist has moved on to the next victim or the next town. In this entertaining and eye-opening book, Dennis M. Marlock, a retired cop and chairman of the board for the international law enforcement organization Professionals Against Confidence Crime, takes the reader into the mind and greedy heart of the con man. You'll learn the mechanics behind famous swindles such as the pigeon drop, the Jamaican switch, bank-examiner schemes, three-card monte and even fortune-telling. You'll find out why a good scam artist rarely gets caught and, if he does, how he gets away with the lightest punishment or no punishment at all. If you've ever read a news story about a sucker getting taken and wondered how he could have fallen for that, you need to read this book before an honest-faced stranger offers you a deal too good to pass up.

This is what people think after reading Con Artist Dating: "In an age of countless internet and social media scams, relationship scams may be the cruelest of all, because they prey on the need we all feel for love and affection. The combination of a lonely heart and a con artist who is good at being convincing is a very dangerous one. In this book Millie Osborne wants to give not just potential victims but also their families the information they need to determine when it's not really love someone is after." Tom Roussey, TV Reporter “Dr. Osborne is a psychiatrist, scholar and author who creates a portrait of a personality type personified by a lust for power and profit. Fascinating and often surprising, the book provides many valuable insights and compelling examples of just what it is that defines a “con artist.” The book is a pleasure to read, enlightening readers with all degrees of experience, including parents; and an indispensable guide to anyone interested in the dynamics of con-artistry and its pernicious impact on the victims." Lorraine S. Roth, M.D., Editor of ‘Current Psychiatry’ and Henry J. Roth, Ph.D., Author of ‘Tales from Time Out’ and ‘Climbing Jacobs Ladder’ “Millie Osborne, M.D., psychiatric consultant, is expertly qualified to write a book that guides readers through the world of con artist dating. It has been her passion to relieve human suffering through knowledge and information that enlightens readers. Any woman or man hungry for love should read this unique self-help guide to personal growth and development. It could save them the heartache of emotional and financial harm that results from becoming a victim of deceit. Therapists might want to recommend this book to their heart-broken clients.” John C. Russotto, Ph.D., Mental Health Consultant "Soul searching...a relentlessly honest and powerful guide that leaves you shaken and thankfully educated. This book takes a deep dive into illuminating the unforeseen, unanticipated and unsettling social and moral consequences involving manipulative behaviors. This is required reading that will leave you empowered and strengthened.” Yvonne L. Taylor, Ph.D., MSN, NP “Human relationships are dominated by people who take advantage of human gullibility and perceived needs masquerading as wants. As long as humans want to believe things for reasons having nothing to do with facts and evidence, there will always be unscrupulous people who come along and take advantage of that by feeding such beliefs which do not require any demonstrable and credible evidence. Skepticism is the virtue which is far more likely to save one from being conned by creeps everywhere and in all aspects of life, not just dating. Finding the right people in life in whom you can place your trust is everything, and the only way to find them is by seeing how well their actions match their words - basically facts and evidence, just like one would use to determine if a certain factor is the cause of an observed outcome. Anyone can say anything, but it is what one does - well that is your evidence.” -Anonymous

“Remarkable . . . Scott Lynch’s first novel, The Lies of Locke Lamora, exports the suspense and wit of a cleverly constructed crime caper into an exotic realm of fantasy, and the result is engagingly entertaining.”—The Times (London) An orphan’s life is harsh—and often short—in the mysterious island city of Camorr. But young Locke Lamora dodges death and slavery, becoming a thief under the tutelage of a gifted con artist. As leader of the band of light-fingered brothers known as the Gentleman Bastards, Locke is soon infamous, fooling even the underworld’s most feared ruler. But in the shadows lurks someone still more ambitious and deadly. Faced with a bloody coup that threatens to destroy everyone and everything that holds meaning in his mercenary life, Locke vows to beat the enemy at his own brutal game—or die trying. Praise for The Lies of Locke Lamora “Fresh, original, and engrossing . . . gorgeously realized.”—George R. R. Martin “Right now, in the full flush of a second reading, I think The Lies of Locke Lamora is probably in my top ten favorite books ever. Maybe my top five. If you haven’t read it, you should. If you have read it, you should probably read it again.”—Patrick Rothfuss, New York Times bestselling author of The Name of the Wind “A unique fantasy milieu peopled by absorbing, colorful characters . . . Locke’s wit and audacity endear him to victims and bystanders alike.”—The Seattle Times “A true genre bender, at home on almost any kind of fiction shelf . . . Lynch immediately establishes himself as a gifted and fearless storyteller, unafraid of comparisons to Silverberg and Jordan, not to mention David Liss and even Dickens.”—Booklist (starred review) “High-octane fantasy . . . a great swashbuckling yarn of a novel.”—Richard Morgan

When Katarina Bishop was three, her parents took her to the Louvre...to case it. For her seventh birthday, Katarina and her Uncle Eddie traveled to Austria...to steal the crown jewels. When Kat turned fifteen, she planned a con of her own--scamming her way into the best boarding school in the country, determined to leave the family business behind. Unfortunately, leaving "the life" for a normal life proves harder than she'd expected. Soon, Kat's friend and former co-conspirator, Hale, appears out of nowhere to bring her back into the world she tried so hard to escape. But he has good reason: a powerful mobster's art collection has been stolen, and he wants it returned. Only a master thief could have pulled this job, and Kat's father isn't just on the suspect list, he is the list. Caught between Interpol and a far more deadly enemy, Kat's dad needs her help. For Kat there is only one solution: track down the paintings and steal them back. So what if it's a spectacularly impossible job? She's got two weeks, a teenage crew, and hopefully just enough talent to pull off the biggest heist in her family's (very crooked) history--and, with any luck, steal her life back along the way.
The spellbinding tale of hustler Edgar Laplante—the king of Jazz Age con artists—who becomes the victim of his own dangerous game. Edgar Laplante was a smalltime grifter, an erstwhile vaudeville performer, and an unabashed charmer. But after years of playing thankless gigs and traveling with medicine shows, he decided to undertake the most demanding and bravura performance of his life. In the fall of 1917, Laplante reinvented himself as Chief White Elk: war hero, sports star, civil rights campaigner, Cherokee nation leader—and total fraud. Under the pretenses of raising money for struggling Native American reservations, Laplante dressed in buckskins and a feathered headdress and traveled throughout the American West, narrowly escaping exposure and arrest each time he left town. When the heat became too much, he embarked upon a lucrative continent-hopping tour that attracted even more enormous crowds, his cons growing in proportion to the adulation of his audience. As he moved through Europe, he spied his biggest mark on the Riviera: a prodigiously rich Hungarian countess, who was instantly smitten with the con man. The countess bankrolled a lavish trip through Italy that made Laplante a darling of the Mussolini regime and a worldwide celebrity, soaring to unimaginable heights on the wings of his lies. But then, at the pinnacle of his improbable success, Laplante’s overreaching threatened to destroy him… In King Con, Paul Willetts brings this previously untold story to life in all its surprising absurdity, showing us how our tremendous capacity for belief and our longstanding obsession with celebrity can make fools of us all—and proving that sometimes truth is stranger than fiction.
