Con artists come in all different varieties: petty street hustling cons; rip-off Romeos; psychic sharks; phony valets who steal your car and rob your house; fake ATM security guards; and more. Now readers can walk in the shoes of these con artists as they follow TV’s foremost consumer advocate and scambuster, Chuck Whitlock. At times funny, at times shocking, but always riveting, this true crime odyssey takes readers inside the minds of the real-world criminals and teaches how to outsmart them.
