Jack Payne, an accomplished author of 55 business books selling over 1 million copies, has come out of retirement to write about con men. He terms his blog as ” A continuing news update and tutorial on all the ways the skilled con man commits “legal” crime in defrauding you. ”

Con Man Blog

Jack has a lot of experience in his business years of spotting, hearing about, and witnessing scams all aimed at making someone else money at your expense. We all need to read his blog posts and even his books to learn how to protect ourselves. Just read the titles of a few of his posts:

  • Con Man Strategy: Encourage Divisiveness as a Means to Creating a Conspiracy–Don’t Get Ensnared
  • Legal Con-Man-Made Mortgage Crisis–Careful it does not Gobble You Up
  • Con Artists’ Newest Trick: Make Victims Part of the Scam–Are You Included?
  • Legal Thriller Author Explains What Every Investor Should Know About Internet Stock Scams
  • Scam Artists’ New Showmanship Pitch: The Wrong Number Phone Game

And the best thing is, this is not dry reading. Jack uses a number of writing styles to keep the messages fresh, yet easy to understand. It will be well worth your while to stop by Con Man’s Blog and spend some time perusing the site. You will probably want to subscribe to an rss feed to catch every post.
