Book
The world's wildest cons : incredible true tales of hustles, frauds and swindles / Duncan McKenzie.
'The World's Wildest Cons' is a collection of true stories of con men and women who charm their way into all kinds of hijinks. We're all familiar with Frank Abagnale (of 'Catch Me If You Can' fame), Charles Ponzi (of the Ponzi scheme), and Anna Delvey (of Netflix's 'Inventing Anna'). But they're just the ones you've heard of. This collection offers not only tons of stories of actual cons, it also digs into the way cons have evolved to incorporate technology or adapt to cultural differences over time and around the world.
