Customer Reviews

A good read.

It is amazing what some people will try to get away with. Some of them do. My only complaint is that the author adjusted the dollar amounts to 1990 dollars. You never know the actual amount that was stolen. Still interesting.

Light reading of the highest order

I loved this book. You can read it in a sitting or two, but they are great stories if you like clever and not so clever fraud stories. I would reccomend it highly. Andreas has recently come out with a second book on the same subject.
