--Tamara G. Suttle, M.Ed, LPC, ACS, Private Practice from the Inside Out

"As an authority on these types of crimes, I feel this book can help survivors overcome the emotional fallout of fraud and get on a positive path to recovery.”
--Les Henderson, Author of Crimes of Persuasion: Schemes, Scams, Frauds

Many people struggle with getting over being scammed. They feel dumb and this belief is sadly reinforced by our society’s tendency to victim-blame.

A particularly important part of this book is details on the psychological tactics that scammers use. From the simple act of lying to elaborate use of several individuals and knowledge about the victim obtained from public sources, plus the use of psychological tricks and persuasion, scammers are extremely skilled at this. Anyone can be scammed and the author shows you how.
